There seems to be a fair few towns and villages in the North that don't have GAA clubs. What clubs to people from these places play for? Here's a list of some I've identified. If you moved to one of these places who would you play for? Maybe there are clubs and I've never heard of them.
Copy and paste the list and put a club against the town, if there is one.
Are there any other large towns/ villages without clubs?

Where the feck is Brownlow? - you mean that wee area around Beirut/Legahory in Craigavon? If so Eire Og and St Paul's would only be a mile or two away though I couldn't see to many of the natives having an interest in the GAA.

Annsborough - Has Annsborough not got a team. If they have folded then Aughlisnafin or Castlewellan would be the local teams.
Annalong - Glassdrumon sp?
Ballynahinch - St John's or Teconnaught
Bangor - St Pauls
Comber
Donaghadee
Dromore - Dromara???

Bacon

Down
Annborough - Annsborough folded a few years ago. Castlewellan or Aughlisnafin
Annalong  - Longstone or Glassdrumman
Ballynahinch - Drumaness I reckon although I know lads who play for Carryduff
Bangor - St Pauls
Comber- Darragh Cross maybe?
Donaghadee - Ballycran or St Pauls?
Dromore - Banbridge, Dromara or Ballela
Hillsborough - St Michaels or Dromara
Kilkeel - An Riocht

Giliford and Scarva are actually in Co Down, not Armagh. Tullylish would serve Gilford and Aghaderg/Ballyvarley Scarva

Johnnycool - Ballygowan, Crossgar and Saintfield are all covered by Darragh Cross. I would have thought that your lot would claim the peninsula villages?

Brownlow, Gilford, Tandragee and Scarva are strickly loyalist/Unionist Areas!  Should any GAA personel live close to these areas I would think that they would get a lot of abuse.  As for Loughall although a Prtestant Village I no of at least two Catholics living on the out skirts of loughall who play for the Grange. while others play for B'Heagan Annaghmore and Clonmore

Portstewart are Coleraine Eoghain Ruadh really. Their pitch is in the Port and all there players are from there.  Surprised people were questioning whether Maghera, Toombridge or Draperstown had clubs.  As mentioned theres Cargin, Glen, and for Draperstown you'd have the likes of Ballinascreen and Desertmartin clubs
