By Niall Gartland AFTER 16 years ‘slogging it out’, defensive stalwart Ciaran Quinn was a very happy man after Errigal Ciaran’s Ulster Championship success at the Athletic Grounds. Sunday was surely the pinnacle of the 34-year-old’s career, and he stepped up to the plate with a stellar personal display, even driving forward in the second-half […]
LAST week I felt Errigal Ciaran had a chance but my main concern was that if Kilcoo shut the two Cannavan brothers down where would Errigal get there scores from. About five minutes into the game last Sunday, I knew that this game was there for the taking for Errigal if they could create a […]
A RATHER hoarse sounding Darragh McAnenly was still perfectly able to put it all into words following Sunday’s dramatic Ulster Championship Final triumph over Kilcoo. The long-standing Errigal Ciaran goalkeeper recently pocketed his third Tyrone Senior Championship medal, a superb accomplishment in itself, but what’s rare is beautiful and McAnenly was absolutely elated as he was congratulated by […]

By Alan Rodgers At around lunchtime on Sunday afternoon, the cavalcade of vehicles moving out from the parish of Errigal Kerrogue will include one man who has a lifetime of involvement in Gaelic Games.

It’s Ulster SFC final time and Niall Gartland takes a look at the players who have top-scored in this year’s competition. 1. Ruairi Canavan 0-16 (8f, 45) IT will be a major surprise if Errigal Ciaran forward Ruairi Canavan doesn’t finish as top scorer in this year’s Ulster Championship, though obviously that’s not his main […]
Ulster Club SFC final Kilcoo v Errigal Ciaran Sunday, BOX-IT Athletic Grounds, 3.30pm By Michael McMullan THERE were beaming lights from both Kilcoo and Errigal Ciaran as they booked their spot for Sunday’s showdown. Kilcoo banged five goals past a Scotstown team who edged the Magpies on their way to last year’s final. Advertisement For […]
By Niall Gartland PLAYER, chairman, manager – and now supporter. Mickey Harte was among the Errigal Ciaran contingent who ambled down to the Páirc Esler sod following their side’s victory over Clann Éireann in the Ulster Senior Championship semi-final. And understandably, they were in no major rush to head back to the car park. Harte’s seen […]
By Shaun Casey WHILE Darragh and Ruairi Canavan are the headline-grabbers in the Errigal Ciaran team and shared 0-11 of the side’s 0-14 tally in the semi-final victory over Clann Éireann, Kilcoo manager Karl Lacey insists the Tyrone champs aren’t just a two-man band. Kilcoo are aiming to collect their first Ulster title since 2021 […]
THWACK – it was the sort of challenge that would normally prompt nothing more than a few bruises, but in Niall Kelly’s case there was an exponentially worse outcome. Sustained during a league match in the height of last summer, the Errigal Ciaran footballer was rushed off to the Royal Victoria Hospital where he would […]
