If one of the motivating factors for the formation of Errigal Ciaran was the precocious talent of Peter Canavan, then it can be argued that the glue that bonded the club together owed a lot to an intense rivalry with their neighbours, Carrickmore.

When the Errigal Accord eventually arrived in 1990 with the strands of St Ciaran’s Ballygawley and Glencull interwoven, they took just three years to win their first Tyrone Championship, following it up a couple of months later with an Ulster Club title.
