2020 Football Season

Public health measures (including a lockdown and social distancing) were introduced in March 2020 in order to combat the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result the Derry GAA competitions were delayed and/or cancelled.

2020 Championship Football

Derry GAA pitches were closed between March 2020 and June 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In response, the Derry Competitions Control Committee restructured the championships. The senior championship began with the sixteen senior teams playing in four groups of four (in 2019 the championship format was straight knockout). All sixteen teams progressed to the first knockout round with the group winners playing the fourth-placed teams and the second-placed teams playing the third-placed teams. The quarter-finals were determined by an open draw designed to avoid any repeat of the earlier group matches (if possible) and the semi-finals by an open draw.

The remaining Derry championships were restructured to an initial group structure followed by a knockout phase.

Pitches

Bellaghy's main pitch, Páirc Seán de Brún, is named after their former club chairman Seán Brown who was attacked and abducted by a Loyalist Volunteer Force (LVF) gang on the evening of 12 May 1997 as he locked the main gate of the GAA grounds on the Ballyscullion Road. Less than an hour later the body of the father-of-six was found lying beside his burnt-out car just off the Moneynick Road near Randalstown, County Antrim. He had been shot six times.[4][5] On 19 January 2004 the Police Ombudsman for Northern Ireland published a report that was highly critical of the police investigation into Brown's killing.[6]

The club also have two full-sized pitches and dressing rooms at Drumanee, just outside the village.
