Saint Patrick's Gaelic Football Club (Irish: Naomh Pádraig, Coilleach Eanach) is a Gaelic Athletic Association club in southern County Armagh, Northern Ireland. It is part of the Armagh GAA, and is based in the townland and village of Cullyhanna.[1]
The club plays Gaelic football in the Armagh Senior Championship, and the Senior and Junior All-County Leagues. It also fields Ladies' Gaelic football and camogie teams.
History
Having reached its first Armagh Intermediate Football Championship final in 1971, the club moved for a time into the Senior ranks, reaching the semi-final in 1974. In 1979 St Patrick's won the IFC, defeating Mullaghbawn by 0-7 to 0-5. The same clubs met again in the 1988 IFC final, St Pat's winning by 2-9 to 1-5. Twenty years later St Pat's again won the IFC, defeating Cullaville by 13 points to 5.[2]
The club acquired a 7-acre site on the Tullynavall Road, outside Cullyhanna, for £15,500 in the 1980s. A new pitch opened in 1986.[3] A social club has since been erected on the site, using voluntary labour.
