Dregish Pearse Óg (Irish: Deargais Phiarais Óig) is a Gaelic Athletic Association club. The club is based in the townland of Dregish between Drumquin and Castlederg in County Tyrone, Northern Ireland.
The club concentrates on Gaelic football. Dregish fields its own team for blitzes at Under 10 and Under 8 levels.
The senior team in 2017 will compete in Division 3 of the Tyrone All-County Football League and will play in the Tyrone Junior Football Championship. The club which is named after the Irish Revolutionary Padraig Pearse, draws in players from the Rural areas of the Parish of Ardstraw West.
Despite having one of the smallest population bases in the county, the club has a proud history of competing, and often finishing above many clubs from neighbouring towns and villages in Division 3. However, with no youth teams coming through this becomes harder, many of the local youth players from areas which traditionally formed the heartland of Dregish's base have sought to play for rival clubs, out of necessity. It is unclear how this will effect the club in the coming years.
