Tir Conaill Harps GFC Glasgow
The Tír Conaill Harps club was formed in 1994 following an amicable break away from the Pearse Harps club by the underage football section, who left to form the club, at a meeting in the Govanhill Neighbourhood Centre, in Glasgow's south side. Tir Conaill is the Irish for land of Connell, an ancient name for the area now mostly known as County Donegal in the north west of Ireland. This reflects the long tradition of people from there settling in the area. A number of members and players have family links to the county.
