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 […]
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 […]
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 SCOTSTOWN aren’t expecting last year’s Ulster Championship triumph over Kilcoo to count for much when the two sides face off once again on Saturday night, according to their captain Damien McArdle. In dramatic circumstances, the Monaghan champions edged out Kilcoo in Newry by the minimum of margins on their way to reaching the Ulster final. […]
By Shaun Casey KILCOO are no stranger to the big occasion and after coming through a massive challenge in Cavan’s Crosserlough the last day, manager Karl Lacey hopes that will stand to his side ahead of their semi-final showdown against Scotstown. It’s a repeat of their clash 12 months ago, when the Monaghan kingpins edged […]
LAST weekend we found out who this year’s semi-final pairings are in the Ulster Club Championship. We have some very interesting clashes to look forward to but first let’s look back at the action last weekend. Down champions Kilcoo did just about enough to get the win on Saturday evening and although they didn’t shoot […]
By Shaun Casey AFTER a four-week break following their county final victory over Burren, Ceilum Doherty and Kilcoo have recharged the batteries and are ready to go once again ahead of the Ulster Championship campaign. The Magpies have been the dominant force in the Mourne County for a fair while now and continued that trend […]
By Niall Gartland CARRICKMORE native Ryan Daly has enjoyed an immensely successful first season in charge of Cavan club Crosserlough, who have earned themselves a crack at Kilcoo in Saturday’s Ulster Senior Club Championship quarter-final at Páirc Esler in Newry. Ryan is a dyed-in-the-wool Carrickmore man and led the club to a Tyrone Senior Championship appearance […]
