Kildress Wolfe Tones are a Gaelic Athletic Association club from County Tyrone.
History
The first record of a football match that can be found was played on a June Sunday in 1904 in Gortreagh when a game was arranged to coincide with the formation of a Gaelic football team there. P.T. Devlin told of his memories of that day in a letter to "The Dungannon Observer" dated 8 May 1954.[1]
Kildress was named after Theobald Wolfe Tone.[2] Kildress's team is green, white and orange, the badge bears the symbol of the Beaghmore Stone Circles, a major landmark in Kildress.
Kildress currently play in the Division 2 of the Tyrone League.[3]
