Teams up to Under-12s play in South Derry league and championships, and those from U-14 upwards compete in All-Derry competitions.

Gaelic games had been played on the western shores of Lough Neagh for decades before the founding of the club.

This effectively split the parish in two, making it very difficult for the Ballymaguigan-based players to travel to the pitch and a separate club, St Trea's GFC, was set up in Ballymaguigan in 1944.

With the emergence of the extremely successful Bellaghy side of the late 1950s and early 1960s, it was 1966 before Newbridge added another Senior Championship, and won the competition again in 1967 and 1970.

The club won Division 2 of the All-County League in 2008, and returned to competing at Senior level in 2009.
