Dermot 'Dee' McBride (Irish: Diarmuid Mac Giolla Bhríde; born 26 June 1988) and grew up in Straw (outside Draperstown). As a child Dermot did not show much interest in the GAA, and spent most of his time competing in Irish Dancing competitions and singing in his local choir. Shortly after, he took up Gaelic football for his local club Ballinascreen GAC where he excelled. In 2005 he was a member of the Ballinascreen Derry Minor Championship winning team, and the following year was made captain. Dermot made his club senior debut at the age of 19, and in his first full season he shared the much coveted title of 'senior player of the year' with his infamous elder brother Michael 'Haribo' McBride.
