The original trustees were Canon Philip Comerford PP, Patrick Power MCC (Piltown) and Richard Keating (Clonmore).

After the hall was demolished, meetings took place at Anthony's Inn, Piltown National School and eventually in the dressing room that used to exist at the road end of the front pitch.

It featured live music in a marquee, amusements and tournament hurling matches with top class clubs from all over the south east.

The Kilkenny team featured local man Ned Power (Brenor) who would go on to provide long service as a player and administrator.
