WE have had another extremely busy week, both on and off the playing fields. Let’s start away from the pitch as the news came through this week that all of the rules trialled earlier in the inter-provincial series will carry forward for all grades for 2025. If we are honest, we all thought that the […]
WHAT I watched last weekend reminded me of when I was younger growing up when I used to watch Peter Canavan playing for his club Errigal Ciaran in the Ulster Club Championship. Thinking back to those days I remember wondering how on earth this small fella was able to do what he did. Muddy pitches, […]
By Alan Rodgers PETER Harte was a young boy watching from the stands when Errigal Ciaran last reigned supreme in Ulster. Now, after more than a decade representing the club with distinction, he is preparing to play what all hope will be a pivotal role as they prepare for their first provincial decider in 22 […]
By Shaun Casey WHILE the Clann Éireann ladies carried home their second consecutive Ulster title last Sunday, it’s all about the men this weekend and they are keen to follow in the ladies footsteps, says boss Ruairi Lavery. The huge obstacle of Tyrone champions Errigal Ciaran stand between Clann Éireann and a first-ever appearance in an […]
By Niall Gartland TOMMY Canavan hopes that the youth of Errigal Ciaran will be suitably inspired by their footballing heroes’ memorable journey into the deep end of the prestigious Ulster Senior Club Championship.

By Niall Gartland ANTRIM standard-bearers Cargin have cause to believe they can upset the odds against Errigal Ciaran in Sunday’s quarter-final showdown at Corrigan Park in Belfast. They’ve mopped up eight of the last ten senior championship titles in Antrim and have flexed their muscles in the provincial arena as well, in recent times giving […]
By Barry O’Donnell ERRIGAL Ciaran midfielder Joe Oguz believes that the ‘trust’ ingrained within the squad enables them to ride out rocky periods in games and emerge on the other side as winners. Often times during this protracted championship run, the Dunmoyle boys have appeared to be creaking and that was definitely the case in […]
JUST as I was about to finish this week’s piece the earth-shattering news broke that Micheal Murphy has returned to the Donegal camp. Rumours had been floating about for a number of weeks and I have to admit when I saw him on TV during the interprovincials last month, I noticed he has trimmed down a […]
By Ryan Ferry ST EUNAN’S manager Barry Meehan believes that his team is battle-hardened after the Donegal Senior Club Championship, and he’s hoping that will help them make a real imprint in Ulster this season. The Letterkenny club are out on their own at the top of the Donegal SFC roll of honour but they […]
By Niall Gartland ERRIGAL Ciaran are back at the summit of Tyrone Club Football for the second time in three years following last Friday night’s victory over a gallant Trillick side. It was a superb performance from Enda McGinley and Stevie Quinn’s team – and a significant slice of redemption having lost out to Trillick […]
