Drumragh U14 girls beat Coalisland in the league on Tuesday evening
Drumragh U14 girls enjoyed a fantastic win away to Coalisland on Tuesday evening, playing some brilliant football throughout the game.
It was a great team performance from Drumragh, with everyone playing their part.
Drumragh were on the attack from the off with Eva McGale, Roisin Gormley and Lottie Gallagher posing a threat up front.
Dana Coyle opened the scoring with a goal after Lily Keys had won the ball back in the full-forward line. Drumragh had to withstand a number of Coalisland attacks with Niamh Colton, Roise McDevitt and Hollie Sloan getting in some timely interceptions.
Drumragh scored goal number two when Caitlin McCarron applied the finish after Keira McGuigan and Roisin Gormley had been involved in the build-up. Eabha Coyle caught the kick-out that followed, drove through the home defence and fired to the top corner of the net for a brilliant goal, stretching out Drumragh’s lead.
Coalisland scored a point but Drurmagh responded well with Caitlin McCarron getting in for her second goal. Roisin Gormley added a great point from play after another swift counter-attack while Dana Coyle showed good determination to go past a couple of defenders and kick the ball over the bar.
The home side had chances but Drumragh defended superbly with Dearbhaille McLaughlin, Fionnuala Barrett and Anna Clarke exerting pressure on the Coalisland attackers. A brave block from full-back Niamh Colton also stopped a certain goal for Coalisland.
Coalisland were awarded a penalty as the clock ticked towards half-time. However, Drumragh goalkeeper Chloe McGale produced an incredible save to keep the ball out with Roise McDevitt completing the clearance.
That galvanised Drumragh and they ended the half strongly with Roisin Gormley adding a goal.

Roisin Gormley started the second half as she ended the first with another great goal after Eabha Coyle, Lily Keys and Olivia Montague had combined to set her up.
Coalisland found the target with a good point but Drumragh continued to put the pressure on. From the next attack, the ball went from Hollie Sloan to Chloe McSwiggan to Keira McGuigan to Jennifer Barrett, and Jennifer showed great composure to kick the ball over the bar with a few Coalisland defenders closing in.
The home side scored a goal despite some excellent defending from Fionnuala Barrett and Dearbhaille McLaughlin.
Dana Coyle then added a point after she ran onto Mia McGale’s pop pass. Coalisland were on target twice but Drumragh finished the game on the front foot with Roisin Gormley hitting a goal and Caitlin McCarron tagging on a point after good play from Eabha Coyle.
