'', the score is uncertain, but Castlefin won by three points. The following year the final between Ard an Rátha and Ballybofey was played in Glenties. From its foundation up until the late 1970s, the club was usually referred to as Glenties (''Na Gleanntaí''), although through an amalgamation with the Fintown GAA club, it has since been referred to as ''Naomh Conaill''. Following this initial final appearance, the remainder of the 1920s did not yield any further documented success. However, there is a suggestion that the club won a Junior Football Championship (JFC) title in 1928. The early 1930s saw the club having further county final defeats at the new under-18 (minor) grade, losing to Letterkenny in the Donegal Minor Football Championship (MFC) final; then, in the first documented JFC final in 1932, to Erin's Hope (Stranorlar) by a point. However, success followed the next year in the JFC final against Tamhnach na Mhullaigh, with the final score Na Gleanntai 0–2, Tamhnach na Mhullaigh 0–1. As well as these MFC and JFC finals, the club also contested the 1938 and 1939 MFC finals, losing the former to St Eunan's by 2–2 to 1–3, but winning the latter, its first Donegal MFC title, by a scoreline of 2–2 to Ballyshannon's 0–2."The Donegal Democrat" book of Donegal GAA Facts. Compiled by An tATH Seán Ó Gallchóir. (1989)

1940–1959

At the start of the 1940s the club continued to feature in county finals. In 1941, it contested both the SFC and MFC finals, winning neither. The Donegal SFC final was lost by the narrowest of margins to

(played in Dungloe); Gaoth Dobhair was a prominent club in Donegal football at the time, contesting seven SFC finals in the 1940s, and losing only once. This was the club's first championship meeting with Gaoth Dobhair; the club would play Gaoth Dobhair nine more times in the championship during the twentieth century (1941–1979), losing all ten games. The chance to contest another SFC final came the following year, in a game that was played in Ardara. Again, though, Glenties lost, and Ballyshannon received the cup. A few of the club's players from this period wore the green and gold of the Donegal county team in the

. In 1945, the club won a second MFC title, defeating Gaoth Dobhair in the final by a scoreline of 0–9 to 1–5. The club reached the MFC final in 1947, but lost to a St Eunan's team that was on its second leg of a three-in-a-row victory. As the 1940s ended, the club reached a sixth county decider, this time at the junior grade, but was unsuccessful. The 1950s were a lean period for the club, with no titles won. In 1957, St Rian's Camogie Club was formed in Glenties. It lost to Glenfin in its first game and later lost the Junior Championship semi-final to Castlefin.

1960–1970

The 1960s saw a second peak in the club's history, with ten finals contested across the decade. Following a final defeat in 1958, 1961 gave the club another chance to win the under-16 title, but defeat to Bundoran followed. The next year the club made up for that defeat to Bundoran by beating them to the 1962 MFC title, by a scoreline of 2–3 to 0–1. The club qualified for the 1963 MFC final also, but was unable to defend its title successfully, and Ballyshannon took it. That year also saw the club contest the JFC final; however, Convoy won the cup. The following year brought victory over Castlefin in the JFC final, by a scoreline of 1–9 to 0–3. Also, a first Division 2 League title was secured in the 1963–64 season. In 1964, the club won the Devine Cup, a competition hosted annually by Aghyaran St Davogs's GFC. Building on the successes at minor and junior grades, the club qualified for its fourth appearance in the SFC decider in 1965. In a very close-run final, the game ended as a draw: Na Gleantaí 0–10, St Joseph's 1–7 (St Joseph's was an amalgamated team, consisting of

Also playing for the club in the 1965 final was Josie Mac Ceallabhuí, grandfather of Jeaic Mac Ceallabhuí. Following 1965, the club had to wait until 1968 to contest another county final. Repeat visits to under-16 and minor finals came in the following years. The club won its first under-16 title in 1968. But, the next year, the club's bid to retain the title ended with a final defeat to Droim Barr. In the same year the club reached the MFC final, as part of a joint team with neighbouring club (and local rival) Ard an Rátha; the amalgamated team won by eight points. This team then successfully defended the title in 1970, by defeating Buncrana.

1971–1989

The club's strong underage teams were again prominent in the early seventies. 1971 saw two finals contested by Na Gleanntaí, with mixed success. The under-16 team won the club's second county title at that grade, comprehensively defeating Urris. The second final of 1971 was at the under-21 grade (the first year this grade was played), but Gaoth Dobhair secured the title with a two-point victory. 1972 saw the club contest the Democrat Cup Final (Division 1 League) for the first time, but St Joseph's won that title. Underage teams came to the fore again in 1973 as the club reached the under-14 and under-16 finals, but neither title was won. A first football title for the club at senior level came in 1974, with the club winning the Donegal Senior

; Naomh Conaill was, however, unsuccessful at the All-Ireland Comórtas Peile na Gaeltachta in that year. In that same year, the club made a second appearance in the under-21 final; however, Cill Chartha won. The club made its first appearance in an under-12 final in 1976, but Ballyshannon won the title with a one-point victory. A wait of eight years followed until the club's next county final appearance, this time at the under-14 grade. A strong St Eunan's team was victorious in Ballybofey (as had happened in 1973). At this time the club's senior (first team) was playing in the

After a long wait from 1974 onwards, the club started to see some success in the late 1980s. A second Division 2 League title was secured in the 1988 campaign, with a Division 3 Shield following the next year. The mid-1980s saw the creation of 'B' Championships at under-12 and under-14 grades, and these new competitions gave the club new opportunities to develop its underage teams following a fallow period. In the second year of the U-14B Championship (1988), Naomh Conaill won the trophy, beating

The team was composed of Shauna Ward, Eileen Rafferty, Tara Connaghan, Helena Bonner, Brenda Mc Elhinney, and mentored by Jim Rafferty.The Book of Donegal GAA Facts. An tATH Seán Ó Gallchóir (2007). The mid-1990s marked the start of an upturn in the club's fortunes, initially at underage level. By 1995 the "B" championships had been renamed A2 championships; Naomh Conaill secured both the Minor A2 and the U-12 A2 Championships at the expense of Cill Chartha and Glenfin, after a replay (the first game had ended 2–9 to 3–6), respectively. Naomh Conaill had mixed fortunes in 1997, losing the U-14 A2 Championship to Downings, but winning the U-13 A2 at the expense of Gaeil Fhánada. The club won its first Division 1 Shield title in 1995, and more significantly, success in the Senior Donegal Gaeltacht Championship was gained in the following year. A long-awaited return to success in the premier championship grades was fulfilled in 1998, when the club secured a first U-12 Championship, beating near neighbours Ard an Rátha. This was followed by a

was manager. Building on the underage success of the late-1990s, the club experienced continued good fortunes, winning the under-12 A2 and óg-spórt county titles in successive years. In both 2000 and 2001, the club contested finals at Minor A2, under-14 (2000) and under-16 (2001), failing on each occasion. 2002 saw Naomh Conaill contest its second Democrat Cup final; the club won this cup for the first time, at the expense of St Eunan's. The following year saw the club win its first Minor League (A1) title, but a first appearance in the Senior Reserve Championship final ended in defeat to Gaoth Dobhair. However, the same year, the club won its first MFC as a single club since 1962. 2004 saw the club retain the MFC, the first time a top grade football championship was held for more than one year (excluding combined teams). Then, in 2005, came Naomh Conaill's finest hour; winning a first SFC title, at the fifth time of asking. The club's first appearance in the Ulster Senior Club Football Championship ended at

The club won a second installment of an under-21 three-in-a-row in 2007, as was a second Minor A1 league title. Naomh Conaill was unable to overcome the challenge of Four Masters in the MFC. St Eunan's were the victors in the under-16 decider. More records were broken the following year with a third U-21 Championship in three years. A sixth appearance in the SFC final in 2009, ended in defeat to St Eunan's. Apart from this, 2009 featured under-12 and MFC titles, and final defeats in the under-21 (thus denying the club a four-in-a-row string of victories), Minor league and division 5 county final.
