History

Founded in 1966,[3] Naomh Malachi is located in the townland of Courtbane, part of Hackballscross, in an area of north Louth just a short distance from the border with County Armagh. In 2002, the club reached the Senior grade of Louth football for the first time when they won the county Intermediate Championship, defeating Geraldines in the final by 3–08 to 2–08.[4]

The club also had a successful Ladies' Gaelic football team, which from its inception in the 1990s went on to win several Senior Championship titles.[5] [6] [7]
