Corrinshego GFC has a strong and proud history as a facilitator of Gaelic games and of other social activities in the surrounding area. The club has drawn its players and members from a large catchment area, including the Chancellors Road, Altnaveigh, Ardcarne, Carnagat, Carnmore and more recently from the new developments of Laurel Hill, Springfarm Heights and Castlekeele.
Corrinshego was no different to other parts of rural Ireland and in the 1950s it was hit hard by emigration and the harsh realities of economic life. The football team duly folded but a vibrant social scene was kept alive and many current members met their future partners in the Nissan Hut.
The football team was revived in the early 1980s and its proudest day came on Sunday, August 8, 1982, when Corrinshego defeated Clonmore with a scoreline of 2-9 to 1-6 in a sunny Ballymacnab to lift the Junior County Football Championship for the first time.
Further honour was brought the club when current chairman Eamonn Fearon played corner back on the Armagh minor team that played in the 1992 All-Ireland final against Meath. Corrinshego provided players to represent the county at all levels: Liam Fegan at minor level, and Karl Kimmons and Gerald Reilly at minor, U21 and senior level.
