Donegal-based Gaelic games club From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
St Michael's (CLG Naomh Mícheál) is a GAA club based in Creeslough/Dunfanaghy in County Donegal. Located in the north of the county, the club is affected by rural issues such as low population and emigration; despite this they play at the top level in the Donegal Senior Football Championship and opened a new clubhouse in 2010.[1] The club colours are red and white.[2]
The club plays at the Bridge in Dunfanaghy.[3][4]
The club has rivalries with Cloich Cheann Fhaola,[5] CLG Na nDúnaibh and Glenswilly.
The club does not have much of a history. Perhaps the most interesting fact about it is that 2014 European Ryder Cup captain Paul McGinley used to play for them.[6]
The club reached the final of 2004 All-Ireland Intermediate Club Football Championship.[7] reached the final of the 2011 Donegal Senior Football Championship, only to lose to Glenswilly. This was their first final appearance at senior level.[8][9]
They contributed six players to the Donegal county team that won the 2012 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship final at Croke Park, including Colm McFadden, who scored a goal in the final and ended the season as top scorer.
