Lisgoold GAA Club is a gaelic football, hurling and ladies football club based in the village of Lisgoold, County Cork, Ireland. The club draws its support from Leamlara, Ballincurrig, Peafield and Lisgoold itself. The club fields teams in Cork GAA and Imokilly GAA divisional competitions. ==History== The club was founded in 1887. From initial beginnings in the barrack field in Ballincurrig, through to the club's modern location in Pairc Lios gCúl in Lisgoold village, it has played a part in the promotion of Ireland's national games in the parish. In 1887, the club played in the first ever Cork Senior Football final, losing to Lees 0-4 to 0-1.〔 Afterwards it vied in competition with Midleton GAA Club, continuously challenging for senior honours. By the early 1900s however the club had a decline in fortunes as due to mainly economic reasons, a lot of people in the Lisgoold parish moved to the parishes of Ballinacurra and Aghada.〔 However the club survived and eventually the first adult title was claimed by the club as Captain Dan Joe McCarthy led the 1952 hurlers to the East Cork 'B' title against Watergrasshill. Further success for the club followed when their own Willie Moore played for the Cork senior hurling team. During his time with the Cork team, he won one All-Ireland winners' medal vs Wexford and one Munster winners' medal vs Tipperary. He won these two medals in the 1954 season. In the decades that followed the 1950s, they captured their first football title in 1961 followed with another in 1964. The 1970s saw hurling titles gained in 1971 and 1977. The 1971 team lost out on the 'B' championship double as they lost to Youghal in the 1971 'B' football final. The club nearly made the 1981 East Cork 'A' hurling final but lost out to the eventual runners-up Dungourney in the semi-final. In 1983 they lost to St.Catherines in the earlier rounds of the East Cork 'A' hurling Championship. The 'Saints' who would go on to win the 1983 Cork Junior A hurling title that season, but Lisgoold had the consolation of winning the 1983 'B' Football championship later on in the year.〔 The club went into a slow decline, but come the 1990s the club flourished when it established its Juvenile section in 1991. In May of that year the club saw its Under 12's capture the club's first juvenile title after defeating Cobh in the U-12 football final. The year 1994 was a notable year for the club, as the junior hurlers won the club's first adult county title winning the Cork Junior B Hurling Final beating Buttevant. This coupled with winning their fourth East Cork Junior 'B' hurling title a month later beating Sarsfields. The official opening took place of Pairc Lios gCúl seven months later when it was officially open by then GAA President Jack Boothman. Following this, the club grew further, with several Juvenile and Adult titles coming to the club. This included, the club's first underage county title which was a Cork county minor hurling league title in 2003, a Cork County U-16 hurling Championship in 2007, their second Cork Junior B hurling title in 2008, a first Under-21 title (after losing six finals) with victory coming against Cobh in the 2009 East Cork Final, an All-Ireland hurling sevens title and an East Cork Division One football title which were both captured in 2014. The latter was the first time the club collected an 'A' grade title.〔 Also the club has seen several of its players representing the club at Cork level in both codes, see Notable players. For the 2016 season, the first adult team will be competing at Junior A level hurling and Football in the Imokilly (East Cork) division. 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「Lisgoold GAA」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
