[edit] History

Sallins is one of eight clubs which shares the distinction of playing the first matches under Gaelic rules on February 15 1885. On February 14 1885 the Leinster Leader advertised that "Football - next Sunday for the first time for a few years a match of football will be played under GAA rules in Naas. Sallins v Naas". In mid 1888 it was announced that Sallins Robert Emmets were being renamed Sallins John Mandevilles. RIC records from 1890 show that Sallins John Mandevilles had 45 members with officers listed as Thomas Daly, Thomas Coughlan and Thomas Moran. Myles Murray attended the 1889 convention. The club was revived in 1894 and by Phil Purcell in 1901.

In 1946 they won the Niall Smullen cup! They beat Timahoe by 3-15 to 0-1

[edit] Gaelic Football

Sallins were one of the strongest clubs in the 1890s, reaching the county semi-finals in 1891, 1892 and 1895 and eventually the county final of 1896. Unfortunately it was the most one-sided of all time, they lost 7-9 to 0-3 to Maynooth. Sallins-based butcher, James Maguire played in the 1935 All Ireland final. Sallins won the Junior Championship in 1967 and Intermediate Championship in 1968 to re-enter senior football. Denis Dalton and Eamonn O'Donoghue played with Kildare in the 1970s.

Niall Smullen is their best ever player serving from (March 2003-April 2003)a living legend.

[edit] Camogie

There were two camogie clubs in Sallins in the 1930s, St Anne’s and St Bernadette’s - Bernadette’s were commonly known as the Wasps because they had Black and Amber striped blouses. St. Anne’s wore pink blouses.'
