History
The Dundela Football Club was formed in 1895 from employees of a local dairy owned by the Agnew family and members of a local harriers’ club. Its greatest-ever achievement came in April 1955, when it defeated the mighty Glenavon by three goals to nil at Windsor Park, Belfast in the final of the Irish Cup. Dundela’s darkest hour occurred on August 25, 1995, when team captain, Michael Goddard died during a game at Stangmore Park, home of Dungannon Swifts, after being struck on the chest with the ball. The club’s latest success was a Steel & Sons Cup win in December 2007.
