Drumragh U14 girls produced another good performance to beat Drumquin at Clanabogan Park on Thursday evening.
Roisin Gormley got Drumragh off to the perfect start with an early goal following move that involved Dearbhaille McLaughlin, Dana Coyle and Aoibhinn Dolan. Eabha Coyle quickly doubled Drumragh’s lead with goal number two. Eabha did well to win Caitlin McCarron’s ball in, then raced along the endline before confidently firing to the back of the net.
Drumquin were a threat going forward too. Lily Keys in the Drumragh goal made a fantastic save to deny them a goal, while Roise McDevitt, Anna Clarke and Fionnuala Barrett each made some timely interceptions.
Shauna Murray and Eireann Boyle set up Roisin Gormley for a nice score while Caitlin McCarron added a great goal.
