While the club reached a number of championship semi-finals prior to 1936, it wasn't until the 1936 Cork Senior Hurling Championship before the club contested their first final. They lost out to Glen Rovers that year. 1940 would be the next time they would make final, again losing out to Glen Rovers. Another final loss this time to St. Finbarr's in the 1947 Cork Senior Hurling Championship followed.[citation needed]
During the 1950s, Sarsfields won the Cork Senior Hurling Championship twice, beating Glen Rovers in the 1951 final, and UCC in the 1957 competition.[3][1] They also made the final in 1953.[citation needed]
Sarsfields have been in four finals since, 1989 and 1997, where they lost and 2008 when they beat Bride Rovers by 1 point. In 2010, they defeated Glen Rovers by 2 points to win their fourth county title.[4] Additional titles followed in 2012 and 2014.[1]
