GAA Club

Corrinshego GFC can trace its history back to the beginning of the last century, and is one of the oldest clubs in the Newry area. In the early days, the senior football team was dominated by a few families. The Quinn family fielded six players, including Peter Quinn who represented Armagh in the 1930s as a senior football player. Camogie was also very strong in the club during this era.
The football club was revived in the early 1980s and its proudest day came on Sunday, August 8, 1982, when Corrinshego defeated Clonmore with a scoreline of 2-9 to 1-6 in a sunny Ballymacnab to lift the Junior County Football Championship for the first time. Some involved in that panel are still with the club: Treasurer Frank Harvey and Development officer Gerry O’Reilly.
Further honour was brought the club when current chairman Eamonn Fearon played corner back on the Armagh minor team that played in the 1992 All-Ireland final against Meath. Corrinshego has provided players to represent the county at all levels: Liam Fegan at minor level, and Karl Kimmins and Gerald O’Reilly at minor, U21 and senior level.
Although success at senior level has eluded Corrinshego, in recent years great strides have been made at underage level. League and Championship titles have been won at U10, U12, U14 & U16 level.
