Swatragh fields Gaelic football and hurling teams at U8, U10, U12, U14, U16, Minor, Reserve, Thirds and Senior levels.

[citation needed] In 1946 John McCormack proposed the idea of forming a Gaelic football club in Swatragh.

Other founder members included Patsy Collins, Jim McMullan, John Eddie Friel and James McGurk.

They choose to name the club after Michael Davitt, because he had given Irish Land League speeches in Swatragh in the late 19th century.

They lost out to Kevin Lynch's of Dungiven in 2008 and to Robert Emmet's Slaughtneil in 2015 but secured the club's only (male) Senior title to date when they defeated St Mary's Banagher in the 2012 decider in Celtic Park.
