Founded in 1888 as Clady Healy’s and were represented at the 1st Armagh Co.Board meeting 24th March 1889 by A.J. Vallely, Cladymilltown. A long break accurred until Kevin Barry’s GFC 1930-1940. the Shamrocks 1945-1950 and then came Sean Souths GFC 1957.

In 1969 the committee of Seán Sabhat G.F.C. Clady made enquiries about purchasing a new field. Pat Loughran was approached about a football field. He agreed to sell this field known as ‘’Connolly’s Big Meadow’’ for the same price as he purchased it, which was 6 ½ acres at £700.
In 1972, Tommy McArdle (Snr) and Vincent Lamph approached Jim Mallaghan about a field containing half an acre situated at the corner of the ‘’Big Meadow’’. This deal was sealed that year for the sum of £500, and the club now had a field to call their own.
In 1976, the first match took place in April, with Silverbridge the visitors. No more major work took place until 1986 with the erection of wire around the playing area. The following year work commenced on the changing rooms and entrance walls. Since then, floodlights have then been put up.
The official opening and blessing was took place on October 1st, 1989.
