Darragh Cross GAC / Naomh Mochai Crois Dharach

Purpose & activities

We seek to enrich the lives of our members, families and the community we serve through lifelong participation and the promotion of individual development and wellbeing. Our vision is that everybody has the opportunity to be welcomed to take part in our games and culture.

The club has formal coaching links with schools in Darragh Cross, Saintfield Academy, Millennium Integrated, Crossgar and Killyleagh. We promote Gaelic games and Irish culture with a focus on the principles of respect and inclusiveness.

We currently participate in Gaelic football, camogie and G4MO (Gaelic for Mothers and Others). We also represent the club culturally with scór na nOg and scór sinsear.

The club has circa 400 members mainly from the Saintfield and Carrickmannon parish and provides opportunities for participation in Gaelic games for all; from children of primary school age through to our senior men and women’s teams. The club is at the heart of the community and has excellent partnerships in place with all in the local parish, schools and many other community organisations.
