Derry League
On Sunday evening, 22nd June, the seniors play Eoghan Rua of Coleraine in Pairc Cormac. As always, this will be a tough encounter and the Eglish girls will have to battle extremely hard if they want to come away with a win.
U14
Congratulations to the U14 who won the championship on Monday night in the Moy in front of a large crowd of supporters! They were up against a strong Dungannon side, and the hot sunny evening made playing conditions even more difficult. The Eglish girls put in a huge effort all over the pitch, from Michele McGready putting on a terrific display at full back, Catherine Muldoon and Casey Gallagher combining well in midfield and Francine Farley and Regan Fay tirelessly attacking up front, resulting in a win of 5-04 ; 3-03.
Congratulations also to Catherine Muldoon who was deservedly awarded player of the match and received a new Tyrone quarter zip training top!
