By Shaun Casey IT’S been an exceptional few days for Edendork. From winning the Tyrone Senior Championship for the first time ever to nabbing a win in Ulster. The Red Hand representatives were too strong for Down’s Clonduff at Páirc Esler, Newry on Saturday evening, heading home with a five-point win and a spot in […]
By Niall Gartland PAUL Maxwell’s involvement with Edendork stretches back a full half-century. He’s witnessed the club win multiple intermediate titles, but nothing even remotely compares to the achievement of winning a first-ever Tyrone Senior Championship. The word ‘historic’ would hardly do it justice. The final whistle of last Friday evening’s replay sparked scenes of […]
By Niall Gartland NEIL Kilpatrick’s flight landed in Dublin Airport at 6.30am last Friday morning. Yep, the same day as the county final. Yet there wasn’t a hint of jet-lag in his performance 13 hours later under lights at Healy Park. Kilpatrick was superb. As usual, you could say. For those not in the know, Kilpatrick […]
By Shaun Casey SATURDAY is something a little different for everybody. Clonduff are back in Ulster for the first time in over a quarter of a century. Edendork have never been here before. The two clubs are more or less in the exact same boat says Clonduff joint captain Charlie Carr, who held aloft the […]
By Michael McMullan AFTER their fairytale end and winning their first ever Tyrone senior title, Edendork see Ulster as a huge opportunity. Manager Brian McGuckin also highlighted the input of Conleith Gilligan as they prepare for Saturday’s live televised preliminary round clash with Clonduff in Newry. The Tyrone champions had their recovery session on Monday […]
By Niall Gartland A FIVE-DAY turnaround leaves little time for a thorough review, but Errigal Ciaran joint-manager Enda McGinley is hopeful they can learn enough from the drawn encounter to get over the line in Friday night’s Senior Championship final replay Darren McCurry’s exquisite two-pointer deep into injury time rescued Edendork from defeat in their […]
By Niall Gartland EDENDORK’S Darren McCurry stepped up with an exquisite equaliser in the closing seconds of today’s Senior Championship final against Errigal Ciaran, but his clutch score was overshadowed, at least temporarily, by the surreal few moments that followed. It looked like McCurry’s two-pointer hadn’t been awarded (the word ‘breach’ was bandied about) and accordingly, the […]
By Niall Gartland Punch the word Edendork into the sat nav and there it is. A splash of urban land between Dungannon and Coalisland. Blink and you could easily miss it. Darren McCurry’s family home is quite literally a kick of the ball away from Arthur Mallon Park, Edendork’s club grounds. Or as Adrian Kilpatrick, father of Conn […]
By Niall Gartland PETER Harte was in his element. Guile, finesse, precision kick-passing – and what about that magnificent two-pointer as Errigal Ciaran made their move in the first half of Sunday’s Tyrone Senior Championship semi-final showdown against Loughmacrory. The Errigal Ciaran captain is the first to acknowledge he’s in the twilight of his playing […]
By Alan Rodgers ALL the permutations surrounding relegation or deciding the National League final pairing will only be secondary to the fact that this latest clash of Tyrone against Armagh carries massive significance for both counties. Two wins on the trot mean that the Red Hands enter this round seven game in buoyant mood. Victory […]
