Enda Muldoon (born 11 September 1977)
From
Muldoon was a versatile player who could play anywhere in the forward line or in midfield. Described by Joe Brolly as "the greatest ever natural talent to have played with Derry",[4] his repertoire of skills include his catching ability, scoring prowess, confidence on the ball, positional awareness and in particular his great passing capabilities.
Despite often playing in the half-forward line or midfield, Muldoon has consistently been a high scorer for Derry. He finished the 2001 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship with 2–10 (16) and the 2004 Championship with 3–24 (33). He finished the 2006 campaign with 1-07 (10) from two matches. His tally of 12 Championship goals is one of the highest ever in Ulster football history.[5]

Derry lost at the semi-final stage of the 2001 Ulster Championship, but nonetheless reached the All-Ireland semi-final through the qualifiers, where they once again faced Galway. Derry again lost to Galway, despite a goal scored by Muldoon.[20] Muldoon scored 2–10 (16) in that year's Championship. Muldoon was named Derry captain for the 2003 season.[21]
In 2004 Muldoon and
Muldoon had an injury called patellar tendinitis in both his knees.[25] In December 2004, he underwent surgery on one of his knees.[26] The operation was successful and he resumed training in April 2005.[27] Muldoon started the 2006 Ulster Championship campaign very brightly scoring 1–03 (6) in the first round of the Ulster Championship against defending All-Ireland Champions Tyrone[28] and 0–04 against Donegal. However Muldoon, with a previously exemplary disciplinary record at all levels,[29] was red-carded late in that game. Some commentators called for Muldoon's red card to be rescinded after television replays showed he was reacting to "extreme provocation" from Donegal full back Paddy Campbell, who had punched Muldoon in the groin.[30][31] Muldoon however received a four-week suspension and missed Derry's next two games against Kildare and Longford. Longford produced a shock victory to knock Derry out of the 2006 Championship.[32] He finished the 2006 campaign with 1-07 (10) from two matches.
Muldoon put in some impressive performances in Derry's run to the 2007 All-Ireland quarter-final, where they lost out to

Ballinderry defended the Derry Championship in 2002,[57] but lost in the semi-final stage of the Ulster Club Championship to Errigal Ciarán.[58] Muldoon won the Ulster Tennent's Monthly Merit Award for October 2002 for his performance against Mayobridge in the Ulster Club quarter-final.[34][59] His performance in that game was described as a "masterful display", scoring vital points and was the "defensive anchor in a tense final quarter".[60] Muldoon also helped New York club Westmeath reach the semi-final of the New York Senior Football Championship in 2002, but they were defeated by the Kerry club.[61]
Muldoon was runner-up for the third time in the Derry Championship in 2003, losing to local rivals
Coleraine defeated Ballinderry in the 2010 Derry Championship final, but Muldoon won his sixth county medal in 2011 with victory over Kilrea in the final. The Shamroks also won the 2010 and 2011 Ulster League titles. He has also won eight Derry Senior League medals with the club (1995, 1996, 1997, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2010).
