Cullaville Blues Gaelic Athletic Club ((アイルランド語:CLG Na Gormacha, Baile Mhic Cullach)) is a Gaelic Athletic Association club within Armagh GAA. It is based in the village of Cullaville (often spelled Culloville) in south County Armagh, Northern Ireland.〔(Cullaville page ) on Armagh GAA website〕 The club plays Gaelic football in the Armagh Senior Championship. The club has two playing fields. The main field is just south of the village, close to the Fane bridge, which marks the border with County Monaghan. A sister club competes in camogie. ==History== The present club is the successor to one of the earliest GAA clubs in Ireland, Culloville William O'Brien's, founded in 1888,〔 and named after the then-imprisoned agrarian agitator and Member of Parliament. In 1910 a club named Culloville Sons of O'Connell was formed,〔 named after the 19th-century Irish political leader Daniel O'Connell. The present name, Cullaville (or Culloville) Blues, was registered in 1916, when the blue and white colours were adopted in place of the previous green and black.〔 In 1918, political divisions in the district disrupted both the Blues and nearby Crossmaglen Rangers GAC, leading to the creation of Crossmaglen Plunketts, supported by republicans, and Clonalig Dillons, supported by Redmondites.〔(Newry Memoirs ) feature on GAA〕 At various times other clubs or teams operated in or around Cullaville, including the Corlis Mitchels, Creggan Red Hands, the Crievekiernan Harps and Mobane,〔 all long defunct. 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「Cullaville Blues GAC」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
