Sarsfields Galway is a GAA club consisting of the parish of Bullaun, New Inn and Woodlawn in East County Galway, Ireland. Winners of two All-Ireland Senior Club Hurling Championship's.〔1992–93 All-Ireland Senior Club Hurling Championship〕〔1993–94 All-Ireland Senior Club Hurling Championship〕 The club was founded in 1966 and is almost exclusively concerned with the game of hurling. Sarsfields Galway has the distinction of being the first club to capture defend their All-Ireland Club title. In 1993 Sarsfield's defeated opponents Kilmallock, County Limerick, Ireland in their first All-Ireland club final. The following year in 1994, Sarsfield's retain their club title with a victory over opponents Toomevara, County Tipperary being the first ever hurling club to ever defend the All-Ireland Club title won the previous year. ==History== Prior to 1966, two clubs St. Killians (of New Inn), and Bullaun existed in the parish. During 1966 a ruling known as "The Parish Rule" allowed only one club per parish, which forced the decision to amalgamate the two clubs together, thus Sarsfields Galway was affiliated in 1966. The reason for choosing the name Sarsfields is not precisely known, however the name is linked to Patrick Sarsfield where verbal history tells that Sarsfield and his Irish Jacobite army passed through the parish while retreating from the Battle of Aughrim in 1691. The name "Sarsfields" is almost certainly influenced by Thurles Sarsfields who were kingpins of Tipperary, Ireland hurling at that time. 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「Sarsfields GAA (County Galway)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
