Drumragh minor girls continued their winning ways with a victory in Trillick on Tuesday evening, a game played in fine conditions, and well refereed by Luke Darcy of Tattyreagh.
Drumragh got into a blusterous start, accounting for 2-7 in the first half, leading 2-7 to 0-3 at the interval. First-half scorers were from Genevieve Norris, Rhianna Barrett, Caoimhe McCarron, Emma McCloskey and Aine O’Donnell. Aine’s point was a highlight. From a Lily O’Kane interception, the ball was carried upfield by Dana Coyle, who, in turn, fed Aine who coolly slotted the ball over the bar.
The Drumragh attack was grounded on excellent defensive work from the full-back line of Lily O’Kane, Fionnuala Clarke and Cara Kerlin, the presence of Mia Feeney at centre-half back, and the driving forces of wing backs Caitlin McCarron and Grace McCusker.
