The Sixties.
1964 will be remembered within the club as a year of 'revolution'. Long eluded titles in both adult and juvenile level were scooped to bring Cratloe back up in the pecking order of Clare Hurling. Indeed the club's cherished successes at Intermediate level of the 1970's can be attributed to the turnaround that took place in 64'. Cratloe's juvenile team won the Second Division County Championship overcoming O Callaghan Mills at the final hurdle. Seamus Reidy captained the team.
