History edit
Drumragh Sarsfields GAC was formed in 1972 after the amalgamation of Tattysallagh St Eugenes and Tattyreagh St Patricks at a time when neither club was particularly pleased with its performance. In later years Tattyreagh St Patricks went back to their own club. St Eugenes, founded in the late 1890s was one of the oldest clubs locally, and won the County Junior Championship in 1942.
