Thomas MacDonagh's GFC

The team was formed in 2007 to allow junior and intermediate footballers in the division to compete at senior level, and represents nine North division football clubs - Lorrha-Dorrha GAA, Shannon Rovers GAA, Borrisokane GAA, Knockshegowna GAA, Kildangan GAA, Kilruane MacDonaghs GAA, Toomevara GAA, Moneygall GAA and Inane Rovers. They won all four North Tipperary Senior Football Championship titles between 2007 and 2010; there was no final in 2011 as Father John Kenyon's GAA did not participate in the North competition.{{citation needed|date=September 2021}}
