Join local historian Liam Ó Donnchú as he takes us through an illustrated talk on the major milestones in the Thurles Sarsfields story, from winning the first ever all-Ireland in 1887 through to recent times.

This talk will be given in conjunction with the recent refurbishment of the famous Tipperary All-Ireland winning captains mural on the clubhouse wall, completed by local artist David McElgunn.

The club are celebrating the addition of Ronan Maher following Tipperary's success in recent weeks, bringing the total list of successful captains to 9 individuals on a total of 11 occasions as follows:

Jim Stapleton (1887)
Tom Semple (1906)
Tom Semple (1908)
John J. Callanan (1930)
Jim Lanigan (1937)
John Maher (1945)
Tony Wall (1958)
Jimmy Doyle (1962)
Mick Murphy (1964)
Jimmy Doyle (1965)
Ronan Maher (2025)

Liam is well placed to discuss this topic as the author of a number of outstanding books related to the topic including the following:
- Thurles Sarsfields GAA story Volume 1 - 1884-1959
- Thurles Sarsfields GAA story Volume 2 - 1960-2019
- Tom Semple and the Thurles Blues

The event will be free of charge and open to the public, held primarily indoors in the clubhouse meeting room/bar area before moving out to the adjoining refurbished and updated captains wall to finish.
