History
On 19 October 2009, Sarsfields captured their 30th Tipperary Senior Hurling Championship, defeating neighbours Drom ’n Inch at Semple Stadium by 0-14 to 0-5.[2] They went on to play Newtownshandrum in the Munster hurling championship quarter-final on 1 November 2009, losing by 1-15 to 0-19 points.[3] On 31 October 2010, Sarsfields captured their 31st Tipperary Senior Hurling Championship after a 1-16 to 1-7 win against Clonoulty-Rossmore.[4] They subsequently contested the Munster Club hurling final only to suffer heartbreaking defeat, losing to De La Salle of Waterford. Led by hurler of the year 2010 Lar Corbett, Thurles Sars' looked to be the superior side throughout much of the game but substandard shooting on the day ultimately cost them and resulted in the side losing by the narrowest of margins at Cork on a scoreline of 0-9 to 0-8.
On 25 November 2012, Thurles won their first ever Munster GAA Senior Club Hurling Championship after a 1-21 to 1-16 victory over De La Salle in the final at Páirc Uí Chaoimh.[5][6][7]
