By Niall Gartland THE Paul McGirr Ulster U-16 Championship is making a welcome return this winter and the draw has been made for the upcoming semi-finals. Tyrone Champions Errigal Ciaran will take on Fermanagh-based Kinawley on Saturday, December 9 while Armagh champions Dromintee, Aidan O’Rourke forming part of their management team, take on Carryduff the […]
By Shaun Casey JUST a few months ago heading towards the end of the summer, Nicky McCafferty took his Bredagh ladies down to take on Errigal Ciaran, who would go on to defend their Tyrone title, in a challenge game. Fast-forward to Sunday afternoon (Dunmoyle, 2pm) and it’s Errigal Ciaran that stand in Bredagh’s way of […]
ERRIGAL Ciaran Ladies have home advantage again in the Ulster Club Championship this Sunday (2pm) as they try and lift the gloom around Dunmoyle following the men’s county final loss last weekend. A place in the senior final is up for grabs when Darren Swift’s Errigal, off the back of an excellent home win over […]
Trillick upset the applecart last weekend, meaning at the Tyrone Senior Football Championship remains the hardest club championship in the land to retain. Heading into that game, all the talk was about Errigal Ciaran and how they would do back-to-back in Tyrone this year, something that hasn’t been done in close to 20 years. Great […]
2022 Dromore’s semi-final exit DROMORE emerged triumphant in the 2021 championship and deservedly so as they lay waste to Coalisland in a relatively one-sided Tyrone SFC final.

By Niall Gartland LIAM Gray has been so central to everything good about Trillick for years now that it’s easy to forget that he’s still only in his early twenties.

By Niall Gartland IT’S the showpiece occasion in Tyrone club football. Thousands of expectant supporters descend on O’Neill’s Healy Park to witness a full-blooded contest between two fine teams going hell for leather for the senior championship title. Defending champions Errigal Ciaran are set to line out on county final day for the second year running, […]
By Niall Gartland ERRIGAL Ciaran joint-captain Meabh Corrigan (pictured) is hoping to end her wait for a second senior championship medal when they come up against rivals St Macartan’s in Saturday’s final at O’Neill’s Healy Park. Corrigan was only 15 years old when she pocketed her first medal at this level when Errigal edged St […]
By Niall Gartland PRECEDENT suggests reigning champions Errigal Ciaran are on to a hiding to nothing in Tyrone but they’ll be quietly confident they can buck the trend by retaining the coveted O’Neill Cup. No team has successfully retained the title since Carrickmore did the back-to-back in 2004 and 2005. Some have come close – […]
By Niall Gartland LINING out in the red and white of Tyrone is an achievement in itself, but it’s a results business and Joe Oguz was relieved to come out on the winning side of a competitive tussle against Armagh last Saturday evening. He was granted his first championship start at senior inter-county level against […]
