The Club Atlético de San Isidro is an Argentine sports club based in San Isidro in Greater Buenos Aires. Originally established as an association football club, San Isidro has gained recognition for its rugby union team, holding a record of 33 Torneo de la URBA championships. The senior squad currently competes at Grupo I, the top division of Unión de Rugby de Buenos Aires (URBA). San Isidro has also a notable past in football, with 28 consecutive seasons playing in Primera División, the top division of Argentine football league system until the club disaffiliated from the Association when the sport became professional in Argentina. Until then, San Isidro had achieved some international titles such as three Copa de Competencia Jockey Club, one Copa de Honor Municipalidad de Buenos Aires and one international Tie Cup. Nowadays, football is practised at the institution with youth and senior competitions for men and women.〔(Fútbol at the club )〕 The field hockey section has women's and men's team competing at Metropolitano championships organised by the Buenos Aires Hockey Association. Apart from rugby, hockey and football, other disciplines hosted by San Isidro are basque pelota, bowls, golf, squash, swimming and tennis〔(Nuestros Deportes ) on CASI website, retrieved 20 Ago 2015〕 ==History== At the beginning of 1902, a group of young men started to practise football in a field placed in the lowest part of the hill (called "la barranca" in Spanish). That land was property of María Varela de Beccar, an aristocratic woman that allowed them to play there. Nevertheless, the frequent swells of the Río de la Plata interrupted the matches many times, causing the boys to stop playing the sport they loved. This circumstance plus the adding of a wide group of football enthusiasts that joined them to play, made the boys to think about founding a club. That group of boys was encouraged by some respectable neighbours of the zone, such as Pedro Becco or Manuel Aguirre, and even Avelino Rolón (who was Intendent of San Isidro Partido in 1906). As a result, soon after Aguirre led part of the lands for an indefinite period of time, where "Club de Foot-ball San Isidro" was founded. By that time (May 1902) a group (formed by English natives and sons of British), most of them employees of Ferrocarril Central Argentino railway also began to play football in a field next to the railroad station. Those boys founded a club naming it "San Isidro Athletic Club". Soon after that foundation, in the house of Paterson family, Mr. Hudson, McCrindle, Drenan and Ruiz; and Fernando Tiscornia, Manuel Vernet y Pedro Becco (son) as representatives of both clubs, agreed to call to a general assembly with the purpose of merging both clubs into one. That meeting was celebrated on 24 October 1902, in the "Vignoles hotel" of San Isidro. 33 members of both clubs attended to the meeting, giving their approval to the merge of both clubs, which result was the foundation of "Club Atlético San Isidro".〔("Historia del club", official site )〕 San Isidro played all the Primera División football championships during the amateur era in Argentine football from 1903〔("Argentina – Second Level 1903" – RSSSF )〕 to 1931,〔("Asociación Amateurs Argentina de Football: Copa Campeonato" – RSSSF )〕 leaving when that sport became professional in Argentina. During its football years, San Isidro won one international title, the Tie Cup (played between the Argentine and Uruguayan champions of Copa de Competencia) in 1912, and four domestic tournaments: 3 Copa de Competencia Jockey Club and 1 Copa de Honor Municipalidad de Buenos Aires. Despite its international success, San Isidro did not win any Primera División championship, being the runner-up in 1912, 1913, and 1915.〔("Argentina – Primera División 1912" – RSSSF )〕〔("Argentina – Primera División 1913" – RSSSF )〕〔("Argentina – Primera División 1915" – RSSSF )〕 The first rugby team of San Isidro was formed in 1908, combining British-origin employees of the Ferrocarril Central Argentino and a few Argentine born, but it was dissolved in 1911 without having participated in any competition. Six years later, and due to an initiative by club president Rafael Cullen, San Isidro established a new rugby team, registering with the River Plate Rugby Union that same year. San Isidro won its first title in 1917, setting a record of 13 consecutive championships won (until 1930).〔''Historia del Rugby Argentino (1917–30)'' by Hugo Mackern (1986)〕 The club has achieved 34 local titles to date, which makes San Isidro the most successful team of Argentina. Within rugby community, San Isidro is mostly known for its acronym "CASI" instead of full name. 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「Club Atlético San Isidro」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
