History: Quigleys Point Swifts were founded in 1970 by Donal Murray. The team comprised of locals from the surrounding Iskaheen and Muff areas. Starting with one senior mens team they enjoyed great success in the local Inishowen League and later on in the FAI Junior Cup. In 1985 they then joined the Derry & District League (D&D). In successive seasons they won Division 4, 3, and 2, collecting the McAlinden Cup on the way. Two years later the team won the Division title and the coveted Bull Park Sevens against a team which contained senior league players. QPS made a clean sweep of trophies in Inishowen on 2 successive seasons winning the top cups, The Carthill cup, The McIvor cup and the League Championship. The club also won the League Championship on six out of seven seasons going undefeated on 2 of them. QPS won the Carn cup in two successive seasons. The Anti-Fire Ulster cup when they defeated a strong Letterkenny Rovers side 3-1 on St Patricks Day 1980 at Maginn Park. They were beaten Semi Finalists in the Buncranna open cup, defeated 2-1 by old rivals Fanad Utd.
