[edit] History
St. Malachy's GAC was set up largely thanks to Paddy Graham from the townland of Tamnadace outside the village. The Graham Cup, a reserve competition for South Derry clubs is named in his honour.[1] Although having small numbers it is a credit to this small club for being able to compete in the senior league in Derry for so long. With a lot of young stars coming through will hopefully be able to fight against the odds and remain at the top table of Derry football.
