Windgap is located in the south-western part of Kilkenny on the border with Tipperary, just south of Callan.
[citation needed] In the early days, it was better known for football, but hurling was played with the Slatequarries in 1929 and St. Joseph 's in Tullahought in the 1940s.
[citation needed] Handball first made its appearance in the Slatequarries in the early 1900s before it spread to Windgap.
[citation needed] Camogie started in Lamogue in the 1920s and was played in many areas of the parish with teams representing Windgap and Tullahought at various stages.
