History

The club was first founded in 1910 as Ruairi Ógs, and matches were played on a pitch known as "The Waterside" in Tullynure. The club officially became St. Michael's in 1962 when it was affiliated to the South Derry Board. In 1977, the club laid a new playing field. Work on a new pavilion commenced in 1986 and was officially opened in August 1990 by GAA President-elect Peter Quinn.

St Michael's reached the Derry Junior Football Championship on seven occasions. In 1987, they were defeated by Dungiven Thirds, in 1990 by Foreglen, in 1997 by Eoghan Rua and 2006 by Drum. The club's Junior successes came in 1998 when they beat Seán Dolans, in 2007 when they beat Drum, and in 2008 when they beat Glack.

In September 2007, another new pavilion was unveiled in Lissan. Like 17 years beforehand it was officially opened by Peter Quinn. The main feature of the afternoon was a challenge match between Ballinderry and St Gall's.

Club crest
