Gaoth Dobhair GAA

Gaoth Dobhair GAA is a Gaelic Athletic Association club based in the parish of ??????? in northwest County Donegal, Ireland. Their home ground is at Machaire Gathlán, and they are currently the most successful club in the Donegal Senior Football Championship.^[1]

History

The first records of Gaelic football being played in Gaoth Dobhair date back to 1918. Up until the late 1920s, there was no official club, but two teams in the parish. (One consisting of players from the east of Derrybeg church, and the other comprising players from the west of the church.) Cumann Lúthchleas Gael Ghaoth Dobhair would later be founded in 1931.^[2]
