[edit] GAA Club
Thomas Davis GFC, Corrinshego (Cumann Péil Gealach Tómais Ó Dabhais) was founded in 1982 by disaffected members of St. Patrick's GAC, Carrickcruppen and Crossmaglen Rangers. In 1982 they won the County Armagh Junior Championship but have won little since at senior level. Corrinshego's pool and darts teams, which operate out of the social club owned by the GAA club are much more successful. As are the under-age Gaelic football teams, although they neither have won anything over minor level.
