CAMOGIE | Rampant Eglish Claim Ulster Title
Sunday 06.12.2015
Eglish camogie club banished the demons of Ulster finals past with an emphatic win against Watty Graham’s Glen of Derry in the AIB Ulster Intermediate championship final on Sunday at The Loup.
It was a cold, calm evening when both teams took to the field. Eglish opened the scoring within thirty seconds when Susan Conlon picked out captain Ciara Donnelly who took the first point. Aisling Jordan added another point for the Tyrone side following a frenzied attack in front of goal.
Glen replied with a free shortly after, before Donnelly and Kelley Fay extended their side’s lead. Eglish were totally dominant all over the park resulting in points for Maria Jordan, Shauna Jordan and Ciara Donnelly. Susan Conlon landed the game’s first goal after seventeen minutes. Leanne Donnelly collected her first point of the game followed by a fine passage of play that found Ciara Donnelly who slotted Eglish’s second goal. Glen added a point of their own resulting in the half time scoreboard reading Eglish 2-9 Glen 0-4.
The second half began with Eglish extending their lead when Ciara Donnelly added three points inside the first eight minutes. Glen had a glimmer of hope when they added a goal and a point of their own. Eglish introduced Niamh McNulty who was duly rewarded with a quick goal. Leanne Donnelly added two further goals as the scores just kept coming for Eglish. A series of wides from Eglish and a last gasp goal for Glen ended a very one sided final.
