The GAA team in Downpatrick, County Down is named RGU Downpatrick. The RGU stands for Russell Gaelic Union. The club is named after Thomas Russell who was executed in Downpatrick Gaol for his part in the 1803 rebellion. He was born in Dromahane, County Cork in 1767.

Yeah I was just listing the ones in Ireland. There are a range of other Shamrocks and Harps if you extend globally.

Must be a load of Mitchels about the place but considering Johns stance on slavery I can't see many more clubs naming themselves after him! bricktop (Down) - Posts: 2503 - 20/12/2019 09:53:02 2255666 Link 0 |

Actually not that many in Ireland. I count 9, but there might be more. Castlebar Mitchels John Mitchell's (Louth) John Mitchel's (Antrim) John Mitchel's (Waterford) John Mitchel's (Kerry) John Mitchel's Ballygalget John Mitchel's Newry Magheracloone Mitchells Tralee Mitchels arcadia (Longford) - Posts: 221 - 21/12/2019 00:22:49 2255734 Link 0 |

There are many more than that. Fr Caseys (Abbeyfeale), Fr Sheehys (Clogheen, Fr O'Neills (Cork) and Fr Murphys (London), come to mind as well as Gerald Griffins and Staker Wallaces, of 1798 fame, both in Limerick. In Galway, Tommie Larkins has the unusual distinction of being named after two unrelated men of the same name. The first Tommie Larkin was a native of the Parish, who died in prison, where he was incarcerated for his involvement in the Land War and a Priest who did Trojan work for the club in the 1930s. Geraldine O' Hanrahans in Wexford, Liam Mellows in Galway and Michel Glaveys in Roscommon also come to mind. I am sure there sure many more.

Kerins O'Rahilly and Austin Stacks, both in Tralee and Michael Breanacths in Galway can also be added to the list.
