Senior Camogie
Last Wednesday, the seniors played Leitrim in Garvaghey in the second game of the Ulster League. Another tough game with both sides being strongly matched but unfortunately our girls came up just two points short, final score 3-06 ; 3-04.
On Friday, the girls eventually got off to winning ways in the Derry league when they beat Ballinascreen 3-05- ; 0-09. Another physical game with Eglish, the home side, very much deserving of the win.
No senior games this week. Training continues on Wednesday and Friday at 6.15pm. Again, all minors are encouraged to attend.
Post Primary
The quarter final of the championship takes place next Monday, 6th May in Edendork against Edendork, time to be confirmed. Let’s hope the girls can continue their winning ways. Please come out to support the senior camogs of the future.
U14
The U14 league got underway last Friday night in Dungannon. The game was played in very cold and windy conditions and Dungannon lead at half time after finding the net three times. Eglish had it all to do in the second half playing against the wind and the girls stepped up and brought the game to Dungannon, taking excellent points against the breeze. However, the home side proved too strong and the game finished 6-01- ; 2-05.
