Malin GAA

Malin GAA is a Gaelic Athletic Association club based in Malin, county Donegal.
Malin GAA Club, as it now stands, began in 1960 with representatives of all parts of the parish meeting together to form a club, on the understanding that the entire parish should be represented. During the early 60s, trial games were held throughout the parish and gradually a junior team emerged, comprising mainly of the Ward family, the McLaughlins ( Jimmy Micky), McCandless', O'Neills, Dohertys from Umgal and Cregga, Eamon Doherty(E) Culkeeny, the late Packie McGonagle and Shaun Noone with Joe Gallagher as captain.
The club played their games in Lagg field, beside the chapel, but soon saw the need for a bigger and more central park and so began extensive fund-raising activities to secure the present grounds which, after ten years of hard work, were officially opened on 25th May 1969 by Seamus O'Riain, president of the GAA. Since then the club has gone from strength to strength, producing a steady stream of young players who now compete with teams from all over Donegal.
