The stag depicted on the crest represents the legend that Saint Muireach O'Heaney (a local Saint) followed a stag to the site where he founded his church, the present day ruins of Banagher Old Church. The mythical beast to the right is a peiste, which St. Muireach is said to have banished into a deep pool in Banagher Glen known as Lig na Peiste (pit of the serpent). The mountains at the top of the crest are the Sperrins, which surround Banagher. The current manager for football is Eamon Lynch.
