History
[edit]Formation of the club
[edit]The club was formed in 1975 under the name Naomh Eoghan Caisleán na Deirge C.L.G and has been in continuous existence ever since.
1975 - 2005
[edit]For the most part of the club's existence they have played their adult football at Junior level. However they were promoted to Intermediate football in 1980 and remained at that level until 1983. They were again successful at gaining promotion in 1989 and stayed in the Intermediate grade until 1993. In 2001 they won their first adult title when their Reserve team annexed the Junior Reserve Championship, beating Newtownstewart at Drumquin.
2006 - 2017
[edit]The senior team competed in Division 3 of the Tyrone All-County Football League and in the Tyrone Junior Football Championship up until they gained promotion in 2016 by finishing top of the League, just a single point above Tattyreagh, after a victory over Glenelly (1-14 to 1–8) on the final day of the season. Unfortunately the club found life in Division 2 difficult, finishing second from bottom with only 8 League points after only 3 league wins and 2 draws.
