Sarsfields is a Gaelic Athletic Association club based in Newbridge in County Kildare, Ireland. The club name is linked to Patrick Sarsfield's castle in the area and the club's colours are green with a white sash. Sarsfields has won 25 Kildare Senior Football Championships, more than any other club in the competition.

Football

The club was founded in 1897.^[1] Originally known as "Roseberry" or "Roseberry Sarsfields", and with its headquarters in the Roseberry area, it was registered as "Sons of Sarsfield Gaelic Football Club". A green jersey, with a white sash, were the chosen club colours.

Roseberry Sarsfields won its first championship title in 1904, beating Naas in a delayed final which was played in January 1905.^[2] Sarsfields combined with Clane to represent Kildare in the 1905 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship, and went on to win the 1905 final. Sarsfields would dominate Kildare football for the coming decade, with only a Monasterevin intervention in 1911 preventing the club winning nine titles in a row. The club subsequently won championships in 1945 and 1947 and also a "three-in-a-row" between 1950 and 1952.

Sarsfields waited thirty years for their next championship win when the 1982 team defeated St. Lawrences. Four years later, in 1986, Sarsfields won both minor and senior titles.

The club also won the All Ireland sevens in 1983 and 1984. In 1983, they defeated Scotstown of Monaghan in the final on a score line of 1-21 to 2-15. In the all-Kildare final of 1984, Sarsfields defeated Johnstown Bridge, winning by 4-15 to 2-8.

Sarfields also won in 1993 and the 1993 minor and under 21 titles were also secured.^{[citation needed]} The Dermot Burke Cup was retained in 1994 and, while a three-in-a-row seemed a possibility, Ballyteague won the title in 1995.^{[citation needed]}

In 1999, another championship was won. Sarsfields reached its first Leinster final, but lost to Dublin's Na Fianna. The club's twentieth title was captured in 2001. While Na Fianna of Dublin defeated the club in the Leinster semi-final, they used six substitutes, one more than allowed. Though the penalty was forfeiture of the game, Sarsfields offered to replay it. In a close game, Sarsfields were beaten in extra time with the last kick of the game.^{[citation needed]}

2005 saw the club win the minor and senior championships. Sarsfields reached their second Leinster Final, losing out to Kilmacud Crokes.^{[citation needed]}

In 2006, the seniors ended up in a championship relegation battle with Maynooth. In 2007, the Minor and U21 championships were captured. Between 2008 and 2009, three consecutive Junior league finals were contested, and two wins recorded. The Junior championship was won in 2009, allowing Sarsfields to compete at Intermediate level, for the first time in more than 20 years, from 2010.^{[citation needed]}

The senior footballers contested but lost out in the 2010 county final. However the senior B team won the championship for the third year in a row. In addition, the junior C team captured the championship for the second year in a row.^{[citation needed]}

In 2012, a senior championship football title was won against Carbury. In addition, the senior team captured the league title and won the Aldridge cup.^{[citation needed]}

Hurling

After a number of years without a hurling team Sarsfields re-entered the junior league in 2007 and in June 2007 were crowned League champions after defeating Athy by 5–8 to 2–6. Sarsfields Hurling were 2009 Junior League and Championship double winners and now compete at Intermediate level.

Ladies football

Sarsfields were Kildare junior champions in 2003 and intermediate champions in 2004. They also won the Leinster Intermediate Championship in 2004. They beat Moorefield in the minor Championship in 2008. The club's Ladies football team again won the intermediate championship in 2014 and the first ever senior title in 2015.^{[citation needed]}

The club subsequently won championships in 1945 and 1947 and also a "three-in-a-row" between 1950 and 1952.
-Nine Sarsfields players played on the Kildare team that reached the All Ireland final in 1903, Jack and Mick Fitzgeralds, Jim and Mick Murray, Jack Gorman, Matt Donnelly, Jem Scott, Mick Kennedy and Frank ‘Joyce” Conlan. A nephew of the team captain Jack Murray was Mick Geraghty who featured in the emergence of the new Sarsfields club that won five titles in seven years after 1945, including a three-in-a-row 1950-2.
-For the next decade Sarsfields dominated Kildare football, only a Monasterevin intervention in 1911 prevented the Sash winning nine titles in a row.
+Sarsfields waited thirty years for their next championship win when the 1982 team defeated St. Lawrences. Four years later, in 1986, Sarsfields won both minor and senior titles.
-The next golden era was the 1945 – 1952 period, winning championships in 1945, 1947 and culminating in a three in a row 1950 – 1952. Remarkably, considering the quality of teams from Carbury, Raheens, Clane and indeed Sarsfields over the years no club has managed to win three in succession since that time.
-Sarsfields had to wait thirty years for their next championship win when a team, including Dermot Earley, John Courtney, Ray O Sullivan and Shay Fahy (later an All Ireland winner with Cork) and John Crofton defeated St. Lawrences. Sean O Sullivan, current manager, featured at wingback. Four years later in 1986 Sarsfields won both minor and senior titles.
-The Sash also won the All Ireland sevens in 1983 and 1984. In 1983, the team which included Kildare manager, John Crofton, Steve Kinneavy, John Courtney, Mick Walsh, Bernie Geraghty, Christy Sweeney, Des Bergin, Shay Fahy and Joe Murphy defeated Scotstown, Monaghan in the final on a score line of 1-21 to 2-15 in extra time. In the all Kildare final of 1984 the Sash accounted for Johnstown Bridge, winning on a score line of 4-15 to 2-8. Sean O Sullivan, manager of Sarsfields 2005 county championship winning team, played in that game.

-The nineties saw the emergence of the phenomenally talented Niall Buckley and in 1993 with the experienced John Crofton, recently installed as county senior football manager, as captain, a young Sarfields team were champions again. To crown a fantastic year the minor and under twenty -one titles were also annexed. David Earley, Enda Freaney and John Whelan played in all three finals. The Dermot Burke Cup was retained in 1994 and the three in a row seemed a real possibility. Ballyteague, however, ended that dream in 1995.

-In 1999 Sarsfields youth policy produced the goods again. With the emergence of such talents as Dermot Earley (junior) and Padraig Brennan (scorer of 10 points in the 1996 minor final),another championship was won despite the loss of Niall Buckley to suspension. The club reached its first Leinster final only to lose to Dublin’s Na Fianna.
-Sarsfields twentieth title was captured in 2001 when neighbours, Moorefield were defeated. Na Fianna from Dublin defeated the Sash in the Leinster semi-final but used six substitutes, one more than allowed. The penalty was forfeiture of the game but Sarsfields offered to replay it. In a thrilling game, with Dermot Earley outstanding, Sarsfields were beaten in extra time with literally the last kick of the game.

-was another outstanding year for the Sash, winning the minor and senior championships. Sarsfields reached their second Leinster Final, narrowly losing out to Kilmacud Crokes. Gary White and Alan Smith, emulated the 1993 minor trio of Whelan, Earley and Freaney by playing on both teams. However, the minors were denied their opportunity of sharing the county final day with the seniors as Laurences, finalist in minor and senior finals were granted their request of postponing the minor game to allow their minors play with the senior team. To cap a great year the senior B team were also county championships beating Kilcock in a thrilling final .2006 was a poor year by Sarsfields present day standards when the seniors ended up in a championship relegation with Maynooth having failed to Qualify out of the groups stages of the championship for the first time since the group format was introduced. 2007 was a much better year when the Minor and U21 championships were captured. The seniors won the league beating Carbury after extra time. However the big prize eluded us after our archrivals Moorefield beat Sarsfields in the Senior final. The Junior C team won the championship to conclude a good year for the sash.
-Recent years has seen a revival of hurling in the club. Three consecutive junior league finals were contested between 2007 and 2009 with two wins recorded. After a series of near misses, the Junior championship was annexed in 2009, allowing Sarsfields to compete in Intermediate ranks for the first time in over 20 years in 2010.
