John Mitchel's Hurling and Camogie Club is a Gaelic Athletic Association club based in Birmingham, England, and is the oldest club in the Warwickshire GAA. It has been long one of the leading Warwickshire clubs in hurling, competing in the county Senior Championship, and in camogie, competing at Junior level. There is an associated Gaelic football club. The club is named after John Mitchel, the 19th-century Irish revolutionary. == History == John Mitchel's Hurling Club was formed in 1933, around the same time as the Warwickshire County Board. In fact, the club supplied pitches and playing kit to the county, which is how the Warwickshire hurlers came to have a white strip. In the early years the club had such great Gaels as Paddy Ryan from Pallasgreen, County Limerick and Mick Ryan from County Laois at the helm. In the 1940s, the club was dominant in all competitions. Then in the 1960s, John Mitchel's built what was arguably their best-ever team - they reached their peak in 1971 winning the Warwickshire championship and getting through to the Championship of Britain final. Here they faced the mighty Brian Boru's in New Eltham. This Brians team featured no fewer than ten London senior players who had played in the Munster championship, including Johnny Barrett, Timmy Sheehan, Roger Cashin, Paddy McGrath, Patsy O'Neill, Pat McDermott, Martin Connolly and Tom Connolly. The Mitchels had many stars of their own with many fine hurlers such as Billy Collins, Jimmy Moynihan, Paddy Grimes, Liam Dalton and Ritchie Walsh. They beat the Brians in a highly competitive match. 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「John Mitchel's Hurling Club」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
