Senior Football
The Seniors and Reserves travelled to Greencastle at the weekend and both recorded encouraging wins. A strong second half display from the Reserves saw them secure a five point win on a scoreline of Eglish 2-14 to Greencastle 1-12. The Seniors had a nice lead at half time, going in at the break 2-07 to 0-7, aided by goals from Peter McCann, Conor McCann and points from Emmet McKenna, Conall McNulty and Eugene Daly. Eglish’s good form continued in the second half with points coming from the boot of Peter McCann, Johnny Jordan and Ciaran Colton. Greencastle managed to score a goal towards the end but it was damage limitation. Final Score Eglish 2-15 Greencastle 1-10.
