Glin GAA
Glin GAA (Irish: An Gleann CLG) is a Gaelic Athletic Association club based in Glin, County Limerick, Ireland. Glin GAA club was founded in 1898 under the name of Glin Emmetts, in commemoration of Robert Emmett who played a major role in the 1798 rebellion a century earlier. The club's rivals include Fr. Caseys, Newcastle West and as of 2009, Mountcollins.[citation needed]
Records show that football and hurling had been played previously (possibly under the team name of a Thomas Davis) but these games were quite rough and unorganised.[citation needed] Glin reached the county final of 1903 but lost to a Commercials side.[citation needed]
After many years in decline,[citation needed] the arrival of Father Patrick Lyons as curate to the parish in 1926 heralded a revival of fortunes for Glin.[citation needed] This began with the club winning the Junior and Senior Football championships of 1926.[citation needed] The club went on to win seven county football championships between 1926 and 1934.[citation needed] Glin contributed many players to the inter-county scene at this stage, including Johnny Kelly, Seamus Duggan, Thomas Culhane, Thomas Mulvihill, Mick Dillane and Patrick Conway.[citation needed]
In 1957, a combination of Glin and Ballyhahill (under the title of Glin Rangers) won the County Junior Championship. The following year in 1958, Glin won the Junior Championship again, this time on their own.[citation needed] In 1984, Glin won the County Junior Championship again.[citation needed]
1990 was a successful year for Glin as regards hurling. Despite hurling having an almost non-existent profile, Glin won an U16 county title, defeating South Liberties in the final.[citation needed]
In 1998, it celebrated its centenary with a contest between Kerry, (the then reigning All- Ireland Champions) and Sligo.[citation needed]
In 2007, the club was relegated from Intermediate to Junior A grade after a poor season.[citation needed] The following year, the team won the Junior A West Limerick Championship but were knocked out the county semi-final stage.[citation needed] They contested the 2008 West Limerick final against Mountcollins, with the sides finishing level at 1-12 apiece aet. The replay on 17 October 2008 finished in a one-point win for Mountcollins 0-12 to 0-11. The team were still able to participate in the county championship and, on 28 October 2008, defeated Ballygran in Newcastle West by 5 points.[citation needed] The county junior A football final was played on Sunday 15 November 2008, and ended in a draw. The replay was set for Páirc na Gael on Friday night, 20 November 2008. The result after extra time was Mountcollins 0-12, Glin 0-11.[citation needed]
In 2011, Glin had championship victories over Drom-Broadford, Castlemahon and Father Casey's. However the year ended with defeat to Seán Finn's in the County Final and Feohanagh-Castlemahon in the County League Final.[citation needed] In 2012, Glin's championship challenge came to a conclusion when they went down by two points in the county semi-final to Cappamore, the eventual winners.[citation needed]
