History

CLG Eoghan Rua were established in 1957. The club first major football success came in 1997 when they won the Derry Junior Club Football Championship, defeating Lissan in the final. In 2006 they won the Derry Intermediate Club final in 2006. The team went on to win the 2006 Ulster Intermediate Club Football Championship, with victory over Ballymacna of Armagh in the final (which was played in February 2007 due to delays). In the All-Ireland Club semi-final they beat Mayo champions Tourmakeady, before losing narrowly to Ardfert of Kerry in the All-Ireland Intermediate Club Football Championship final on 10 March 2007 in Croke Park.

In May 2006 Barry McGoldrick became the first Eoghan Rua player to play in the All-Ireland Senior Football Championship when he was part of the Derry team that defeated Tyrone in the first round of the Ulster Championship in Healy Park. His brother, Seán Leo McGoldrick made his debut for Derry in the 2007 McKenna Cup v Queen's University Belfast. Both have also played for Derry hurlers.

In 2007 they became champions of Derry ACFL Division 3, winning promotion Division 2 for the first time in their history.[1]

The current football manager is Sean McGoldrick.

Hurling

Previous to the founding of CLG Eoghan Rua, there had been a hurling club in Coleraine called Mitchel's and they had won the 1943 and 1945 Derry Senior Hurling Championships. Eoghan Rua entered a Senior Hurling team in 2002, having fielded underage teams for a few years before this.[2] 2006 saw the club win both the Derry Intermediate Hurling Championship and the Derry Junior Hurling Championship.

Camogie

A Senior Camogie team fielded for the first time in 2001/2?[2] The club won their first Derry Intermediate Camogie Championship in 2005 and again in 2007. They won the Derry Premier Championship in 2010 and the Ulster Senior B Championship in the same year. Current senior camogs Gráinne McGoldrick, Jane Carey, Méabh McGoldrick and Roma McDonald were on the Derry senior squad that contested the 2006 All-Ireland Junior Camogie Final. They were defeated by Dublin. The same four players were part of the Derry team that went one step further in 2007 and won the All-Ireland Junior Camogie Championship, defeating Clare in the final.

In 2010 the camogie teams won the Derry Premier League and Championship Double completing both campaigns unbeaten. They went on to win the Ulster Senior B Championship.

Eoghan Rua and Derry forward Gráinne McGoldrick received a camogie All Star in 2009.
