In 1993 Errigal appointed Tyrone’s All Ireland U.21 winning manager Danny Ball, along with Doonan Gallagher and local man Mickey Mullin. Few could have thought they would steer the team to the Pinnacle of Tyrone and Ulster Football. In 1993 they opened their campaign against Trillick with Eamon McCaffrey top scoring with 10 points. In the quarter final Eoin Gormley’s personal haul of 2-03 got them over the line against Ardboe. Next up was a semi- final with Omagh and another narrow victory with Eamon McCaffrey scoring 7 of the 13 points. 4th September 1993 was the moment in Edendork that galvanised this great team.
