It
gives me great pleasure to welcome you to the website of Sarsfields Gaa
club. The Sarsfields Gaa club represents the parish of New Inn/Bullaun
The aim of this Website is to facilitate communication between the club
and its members as well as all other interested parties.
The Sarsfields GAA Club represents the
parish of New Inn / Bullaun in East Galway. Founded in 1966 the club has
6 Galway senior and Connacht club titles and has the distinction of being
the first club to capture back to back All-Ireland club titles in 1993
and 1994.
The
club's achievements are quite remarkable given its small population base.
Presently, we field 4 adult teams: senior, intermediate, junior A and
junior C. The success of the club is based on a vibrant under age structure
with many of our senior players managing and coaching their young charges.
Finance is a big constraint, and we thank our main
sponsor, Joe McGrath of Joe McGrath Construction. The hard working club
finance committee organise an annual race night as well as our weekly
club lotto. If you wish to play lotto with us this website offers you
an opportunity to do so. A recent addition to the club is the Sarsfields
Supporters Club, which runs a successful Golf Am Am in Loughrea Golf Club
during the first week of July.
In 2003 the launch of our club history “For
the pride of the parish” took place. The book is compiled by David
McGann and was launched by RTE Commentator Micheal O’ Muircheartaigh.
This hugely impressive history does credit to all of Sarsfields achievements
over the years. It was a source of great pride to us all when it scooped
the coveted “McNamee Award” for the best club history in 2003,
further testament to this excellent production- a must read for all GAA
followers.
I
hope you enjoy browsing through our website and if you wish to contact
us on any matter feel free to email us at info@sarsfields-gaa.com.
The
club officers are indebted to local man Cathal McGuinness for creating
and updating this website.
Yours
in Sport
