Carryduff GAC
Carryduff GAC (Irish: CLG Cheathrú Aodha Dhuibh) is a Gaelic Athletic Association club based in the town of Carryduff in County Down, Northern Ireland. The club fields approximately 50 teams from Under 6s to Senior in men and ladies’ football, hurling, camogie, rounders, and handball. Carryduff GAC has around 1,500 members, making it one the biggest clubs in Ulster.
In 1971, a group of parents in the southern suburbs of Belfast came together to form a schoolboys Gaelic football team. The club was formed a year later, in 1972, and entered a team in the East Down Junior Football League. The team won all 24 of their league games and secured the club's first trophy. They also reached the final of the Down Junior Championship, where they lost to Newry Shamrocks II.
In 1975, Carryduff won the East Down League Shield and they retained the shield in 1976.
In 1977, the Intermediate League Title was won by Carryduff. In 1980, Carryduff claimed the All-County League Division III title.
In addition to the football teams, the club is also involved in Scór, with the Carryduff Ballad Group winning the All-Ireland title in 1983. Handball was also introduced in 1985. In 1986, Carryduff's senior footballers won Division 3 and the Junior Championship.
In the 1990s, four of the club's players, Greg Blaney, Neil Collins, Mark McCartan and John Kelly, featured in the Down senior football team.
After almost 30 years without a permanent home, Páirc Aodha Dhuibh was opened in 2001. The following year, in 2002, the first ladies football team was formed. Hurling was introduced in 2003, and a clubhouse was opened in 2004.
In 2006, the Ladies footballers win their first League & Intermediate Championship Double. In 2011, the minor hurlers won the minor championship. In 2015, the minor Ladies team won their first Minor County title in football.
