Adult Football
There was no senior action at the weekend, on account of the Ulster Football Championship game between Cavan and Tyrone. As that game ended level there has been a change to the League fixture this coming weekend. We now play Galbally at home. Games are at the regular times of 2.15pm and 3.45pm on Sunday in Fr Connolly Park.
The Under 21 team have played two games in the past week. On Saturday evening they recorded a one point win over Brackaville. Result Eglish 3-16 Brackaville 3-15. This was followed up by victory of the same margin over Beragh. Result Beragh 0-19 Eglish 4-08. Next up are Kildress on 2nd July in Fr Connolly Park.
Youth Football
The under 14 boys travelled to Drumragh on Thursday past for their Championship final against Strabane. Unfortunately they lost out to what was a much physically stronger Strabane team. However heads can be held high as this was a very gritty performance, with everyone performing to their full potential. And for the width of the crossbar, on several occasions, the result may have been very different. Result Eglish 1-12 Strabane 4-09.
Under 14 Championship Final Team
Under 16 Training continues on Saturdays at 12.30pm, and has now commenced on Mondays and Wednesdays at 7.00pm. Competitions due to start after July Holidays.

Under 12 Go Games continue on Wednesday evening as the boys travel to Carrickmore.
Under 6, 8 & 10 Football continues on Thursday evening at 6.15pm in Fr Connolly Park, with the Under 10s having a blitz this Saturday. Well done to the lads that took part in tournaments on Saturday, with one team coming home as divisional winners in Carryduff and Under 12’s losing out in quarterfinals in Aghaloo.
This year the club will be running our own “An Eaglais Le Chéile” Summer Camp. This will take place from 4th-7th July. Commencing daily at 10:00am in Fr Connolly Park. Along with the regular football coaching we will be introducing the children to all the games in the association. This combined with other Cultural, Environmental and Heritage aspects should help make this a camp to with a difference. Boys and Girls can register at the Training this Thursday evening.

Finally Commiserations to the Under 14 Camogie girls. Losing out in the Final of the All-Ireland Feile in Tipperary. Having finished top of their group on Saturday morning they progressed to the Quarterfinals on Saturday afternoon and semi on Saturday evening. They went down to a very strong Cillard side on Sunday morning on a score-line of Eglish 2-04 Cillard 2-07. Cillard had only conceded two points in the competition prior to the final. Things are looking good for Camogie in Eglish.
