William "Callaghan" Quane often described as the greatest man ever to live in Kilmoyley and as a man always in good humour. Callaghan Quane made sliotars and hooped hurleys for every young lad in Kilmoyley. Callaghan also trained the first Minor county championship winning team for Kilmoyley in 1953. That very team beat the pick of Crotta, Lixnaw and Abbeydorney in the semi-final before going on to destroy Killarney in the 1953 final 10-4 to 2-3. William "Callaghan" Quane died at the age of 65.

In the latter years of the nineteenth century and early twentieth century, the fame of Kilmoyley's hurlers and their deeds spread to non-hurling areas in the county and beyond. Hurling was practised in Kilmoyley many years before the Gaelic Athletic Association's foundation in 1884. In the two decades prior to the foundation of the GAA, Kilmoyley organised hurling matches with Abbeydorney, Lixnaw and Ballyduff.

Early officers of the club were Jack McGrath, Dan O'Connor, Michael Hanlon, David Reidy, Cornelius Regan, Thomas Sheehy, Edward Ryle, John Lawlor, and David Mahony. Meetings were conducted in Patcheen Quane's house and the players "trained" in Nolan's field before 11o' clock Sunday mass. This field is now owned by John Fitzgerald and is situated between Jackeen Quane's (now John Flanagan's) and Patcheen Quane's - later the home of William (Callaghan), Patsy and Mary, his sons and daughter.

In their first County final against Kenmare (known as The O'Connell's then) in 1889, the Kilmoyley players wore saffron jerseys, long pants and multi-coloured woollen caps knitted by wives, girlfriends and other female supporters. Kilmoyley lost that final in Fossa by 1-0 to 0-3 (a goal was worth more than any number of points at that time). Also during that game a Kilmoyley man's leg was broken and two other players got severe injuries. Kilmoyley team that day :- Jack W. Quane, James Kelly, Willie O'Connell, Peter Stack, Michael McCarthy, Patsy O'Rourke, Phil Ml McCarthy, Mick McQuinn, Michael Riordan, Pat Sheehy, Tadgh Donall McCarthy, Daniel Driscoll, Charles Nolan, Pat Nolan, Tom Nolan, Pat Quane, Michael Pat Sheehy, Maurice Fitzgerald, Jack McCarthy, Thade Eugene McCarthy.

The Kilmoyley girls wore the same type multi-coloured caps as the hurlers when attending games to differentiate themselves from other clubs' female supporters.

In 1890 Kilmoyley was to win its first County title. In the quarter-final Kilm beat Abbeydorney by 0-6 to 0-2. In the semi-final Kilmo met Kenmare, and in a bruising battle, Kenmare refused to line out for the replay. Shouts of "Remember the broken leg" and "Give 'em the timber, ye devils" greeted the teams on arrival. On 15th June Kilmo met an understrength Ballyduff team in the final (two or three of their players were mackerel fishing), and were to beat them by 2-2 to no score. But Ballyduff objected to Kilmo victory as they had players from Lerrig on the team!. Kilmoyley team that day :- Jack W. Quane, Michael Pat Sheehy, Pat Nolan, Tom Nolan, Maurice Fitzgerald, Jack Regan, Michael Riordan, Tadgh Donall McCarthy, Mick McQuinn, Thade Eugene McCarthy, Phil Ml McCarthy, Patsy O'Rourke, Michael McCarthy, Jack McCarthy, James Kelly, Willie O'Connell, James Kelly, Daniel Driscoll, Charles Nolan, Pat Quane, D Riordan, D McQuinn, JJ Kelly. John Egan, P. Buckley and Jack Maunsell were alsomembers of the Kilmoyley panel that took part in the All-Ireland series later in the year.
