I'm interested in collating how many clubs in Ireland are named after Republican figures, particularly those from the 1916 and 1798 rebellions. Feel free to add your own county.

Armagh folk may want to correct me, or add more...

Fantastic name for a club.

10km apart according to Google map. Misinformed previously obviously.
Sarsfields used be referred to Bullaun - New Inn. Just curious what club Aughrim aligned to.

Thomas Davis - Corringshego
Michael Davitt - Ballyhegan

Had thought Davitt was more of a political figure with the Land League.
