St. Michael,s GAA.
The Parish of
Doe has being playing Gaelic Football for more than 60 years. the first
club was formed in 1938.
The club was
re-formed in 1952 and the then curate Fr. James Deeney in Creeslough
was it's first President It took many years before they purchased their
own pitch 'Parc Naomh Micheal ' in Dunfanaghy. And the official opening
in 1984 proved great excitement and entertainment with a friendly match
between Donegal v Armagh.
The Minor
Board was formed in 1994 starting a new era for St. Michael's
1995 was an eventful
year. With the start of the Parish League St. Michael's provided opportunities
for all aspiring young Gaelic Footballers in the Parish to compete with
each other for 12 consecutive weeks, in the season when football would
not normally be played.
This proved to
be a great platform for discovering new talent and developing skills,
techniques and confidence and an overall improvement in the club, of
interest, support, enthusiasm and sportsmanship. In a small community
like ours, we have come from obscurity to compete with the best in the
County and each year we are producing new and more talented Gaelic Footballers
who have gained the respect and admiration of all.
