History
Entrance gates at Sallins GAA grounds.
In 2009 & 2010 Sallins Minors won the B championship
Hurling
Sallins also has a separate hurling club. While juvenile hurling is part of the main Sallins GAA club, their men’s team has been set up as a separate club due to a conflict of interest for some footballers.
After a break of over 30 years, Sallins started juvenile hurling in 2002 and fielded an adult team in 2003 and has been competing ever since.
The current hurling side play in the Junior League and Championship. In 2009, the hurlers made both league and championship semi finals.
