Tommy Larkin's Gaelic Athletic Club is a Gaelic Athletic Association club located in the Ballinakill and Woodford areas of County Galway, Ireland which competes in the Galway Senior Hurling Championship.
However despite the efforts of many tireless workers the club struggled to compete in the late seventies and eighties due in the most part to emigration.
In 1990 the club was relegated to the intermediate ranks, this prompted a renewed commitment to coaching at underage level.
In 1886, during a week-long eviction at a premise known as Saunder's Fort in Woodford, Tom stood up to an RIC constable who was roughly treating a young girl and struck him.
Tom was subsequently arrested and imprisoned in the overcrowded Kilkenny Gaol where he died of reported neglect in 1887 aged 23.
