Collegeland O'Rahilly's Gaelic Athletic Association Club is located on the Armagh-Tyrone border just outside Charlemont and the Moy

The Club won the Armagh Junior championship in 2001, defeating Clady in Armagh.

Origins
The club in its present format was formed in 1949. It adopted the royal blue as its colour due to the prominence of Cavan football at the time. A driving force in the reformation of the club was Fr William McKnight after whom the current playing facility is named.

Notable Players

Players have traditionally been drawn from a small group of families such as the Donnelly's, McCormack's and McGeary's, including Leo McGeary who has represented Armagh and Minor player Thomas McGeary.

Collegeland participates in Naomh Eoin CLG, the joint underage team fielded along with Annaghmore and Clonmore clubs.^[1]
