Background
History
Gaelic games had been played on the western shores of Lough Neagh for decades before the founding of the club. Seán O'Leary's GAC Newbridge was established in 1925 and covered the Newbridge and Ballymaguigan areas, both in Ardtrea North parish. The U.S. Army built Toome airfield during the Second World War. This effectively split the parish in two, making it difficult for the Ballymaguigan-based players to travel to the pitch and a separate club, St Trea's GFC, was set up in Ballymaguigan in 1944.
