The club was formed in 1965, when St Mary's Park and St Joseph's Banagher amalgamated. The club have won the Derry Senior Hurling Championship on three occasions and have been runners up three time in the Derry Senior Football Championship. ==History== Up until 1965, St. Mary's Park and St. Joseph's Banagher were the two teams in the area.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= History of the Club ) 〕 Fr. McNally went about reviving Gaelic football in the area by creating a new team to cover both Feeny and Park. The name was chosen as a compromise between the two old clubs and the maroon and white colours were chosen in recognition of the Galway team who were All-Ireland Champions at the time.〔 The stag depicted on the crest represents the legend that Saint Muireach O'Heaney (a local Saint) followed a stag to the site where he founded his church, the present day ruins of Banagher Old Church.〔 The mythical beast to the right is a "peiste", which St. Muireach is said to have banished into a deep pool in Banagher Glen known as “Lig na Peiste” (pit of the serpent). The mountains at the top of the crest are the Sperrins, which surround Banagher. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Banagher GAC」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
