Ballygunner GAA (nicknamed "The Gunners") is a Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) club located in the parish of St Mary's Ballygunner in Waterford City, Ireland. The club is exclusively concerned with hurling. == History == Ballygunner GAA is a hurling club based in Ballygunner Village, on the outskirts of Waterford City. The club was founded in 1954 by local schoolteacher Jimmy McGinn. Prior to 1954, there was no adult hurling team in the parish. All hurlers who came out of the small national school travelled into Waterford city to play for either the Erin's Own club or now arch rivals Mount Sion. McGinn believed that there was enough talent in the parish to compete with the powerhouses of Waterford hurling. Having enjoyed multiple success at under age level through the local national school, ''Mr Mc Ginn'', as he was commonly called, set up the club to nurture the game in the small parish. Mc Ginn's aspirations were correct. That very year, Ballygunner Hurling club collected their first piece of a long line of silverware by winning the Minor county Championship. This was a more-than-promising start, for a club that would take Waterford hurling by storm. The club holds thirteen Waterford Senior Hurling titles: 1966, 1967, 1968, 1992,1995, 1996, 1997, 1999, 2001, 2005, 2009, 2011 and 2014. They are one of the main powers in Waterford hurling, winning numerous underage titles and also regularly winning the senior title. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ballygunner GAA」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
