Explained simply
Edendork and Errigal Ciaran are Gaelic football clubs from County Tyrone, competing in the county’s top club championship. The competition decides Tyrone’s senior club champions, who then represent the county in the Ulster Club Championship.
Edendork had never won the Tyrone title in the club’s 94-year history. Niall Morgan and Darren McCurry are among the players central to the team, while Errigal Ciaran are another established Tyrone club.
The Ulster competition brings together champion clubs from across the province, so winning Tyrone’s title also gives Edendork a place in a wider regional contest. Clonduff, the champions of County Down, are their next opponents.
