The club had 3 players on the U15 Tyrone Development Squad - Stephen Harper, Cathal McShane and Ryan Devine.

2004- This year proved to be a historic year for the Gaels of Leckpatrick. The club's U14 footballers brought an All-Ireland title to the club as they lifted the Division 6 All-Ireland Feile crown. This supplemented the Grade 3 County Championship that they had lifted just a few weeks earlier. The one downside of the football year in Tyrone was the death in early Spring of Cormac McAnallen.

2003- Always to be remembered as the year the 'Sam Maguire' finally came to Tyrone. Leckpatrick proudly had Declan McCrossan among the squad that made history.

2002- Declan McCrossan and the Tyrone team lift a Senior County title for the first time ever as the National League Trophy comes to Tyrone. The Senior side ended up being relegated to Junior football at the end of the season. This was down to the restructuring that was going on in the League as the club actually finished in 12th spot.
