Corrinshego GFC has a strong and proud history as a facilitator of Gaelic games and social activities in the surrounding area.

The name Corrinshego is derived from the Irish œcor, meaning a bend or twist, and œfuinseog, meaning Ash tree. It translates: ‘the Ash tree at the bend’.

The club has drawn its players and members from a large catchment area, including the Chancellors Road, Altnaveigh, Ardcarne, Carnagat,

Carnmore and more recently from the new developments of Laurel Hill, Springfarm Heights and Castlekeele.
Corrinshego GFC can trace its history back to the beginning of the last century, and is one of the oldest clubs in the Newry area.

In the early days, the senior football team was dominated by a few families. The Quinn family fielded six players, including Peter Quinn who represented Armagh in the 1930s as a senior football player. Camogie was also very strong in the club during this era.
Corrinshego was no different to other parts of rural Ireland and in the 1950s it was hit hard by emigration and the harsh realities of economic life. The football team duly folded but a vibrant social scene was kept alive and many current members met their future partners in the Nissan Hut.
The football team was revived in the early 1980s and its proudest day came on Sunday, August 8, 1982, when Corrinshego defeated Clonmore 2-9 to 1-6 in Ballymacnab to lift the Junior County Football Championship for the first time.

Some involved in that panel are still with the club including secretary Frank Harvey and treasurer Gerry Reilly.
The club has worked hard to develop a strong youth structure at the club.
Thomas Davis GFC is able to compete at under 8’s, 10’s, 12’s, 14,s, 16’s, minor and hopefully, in 2009, U-21 level.

At U-10 level Thomas Davis were narrowly beaten in their league final and at U-12 the club won both championship and league honours.

The U-14’s also won their Championship this year in what was a very successful season

A number of the clubs underage players have been involved in the South Armagh Development Squad.

Danny Cinnamond (captain), David Markey and Nathan Morley have made great strides with Markey lining out for Armagh Minors at full back.

Markey is following a Thomas Davis tradition of underage county representation.

Eamonn Fearon played corner back on the Armagh minor team that lost to Meath in the 1992 All-Ireland final.

Liam Fegan has also played at minor level while and Karl Kimmons and Gerald Reilly have featured at minor, U-21 and senior level.
