C.L.G. Naomh Mícheál is a GAA club based in Creeslough/Dunfanaghy in County Donegal. Located in the north of the county, the club is affected by rural issues such as low population and emigration; despite this they play at the top level in the Donegal Senior Football Championship and recently opened a new clubhouse.[1] The club colours are red and white.[2]

The club plays at the Bridge in Dunfanaghy.[3][4]

History

The club does not have much of a history. Perhaps the most interesting fact about it is that 2014 European Ryder Cup captain Paul McGinley used to play for them.[5]

The club reached the final of the 2011 Donegal Senior Football Championship, only to lose to Glenswilly. This was their first final appearance at senior level.[6][7]

They contributed six players to the Donegal team that won the 2012 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship Final at Croke Park, including Colm McFadden who scored a goal in the final and ended the season as top scorer.
