Background
History
Glenullin won the 1927 North Derry Championship, but were disqualified from the All-County Championship final after their final with Ballinderry was abandoned due to fighting. A team from Drumsurn took their place in the re-played final, but were beaten by Ballinderry in the decider. There were a few stop-starts over the next 13 years before Drumsurn ceased to function as a club in 1940, after players moved to other clubs since Drumsurn did not enter the 1940 championship. In 1947 John Eddie Mullan from Drumsurn won a National Football League medal with Derry.
