[2] Gaelic football has been played in Doire Mhic Cais from the very inception of the GAA and the Wolfe Tone club came into existence in 1911.

The early teams competed in the South West Antrim League up until 1920, when the fight for independence had a negative impact on the Association across the country.

In 1967, the Tones once again reached the County Senior Final, but lost again, but that year saw the club go undefeated through the All-County League.

Bill went on to become the first Tones man to play for Armagh in an All-Ireland senior final in 1953, accompanied by panel member Seán Quinn, but it was the men from the Kingdom who got the upper hand that day.

It took a Tones man to bring the first All-Star award to the Orchard County, with Paddy Moriarty winning his first in 1972 and claiming a second in 1977 for his exploits in Armagh's run to the All-Ireland final.

The two county clubs rival each other, Wolfe Tone GAC and Sarsfields GAA.. Apart from the victory of a Tones-led selection in the 1943 Armagh Senior Football Championship final, defeating Crossmaglen, the club's highest point in sporting terms came in 1964, when the Tones lost by three points to Mullaghbawn in the SFC final.
