October 15, 2026
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 […]
