Underage teams up to U-12's play in South Derry league and championships, from U-14 upwards teams compete in All-Derry competitions.

History

St. Malachy's GAC was set up largely thanks to Paddy Graham from the townland of Tamnadace outside the village. The Graham Cup, a reserve competition for South Derry clubs is named in his honour.

With a lot of young stars coming through will hopefully be able to fight against the odds and remain at the top table of Derry football.
