Tyrone Intermediate Championship Preliminary Round

Aghyaran St Davogs 0-6

Moy Tir Na Nog 0-14

Emma Conroy’s seven points helped ease Moy into the quarter finals of the intermediate championship. Although well beaten on the night Aghyaran did have chances though but failed to capitalise on them.

Moy impressed all over the park with Caoimhe Magee, Emer Currie and Charlotte Mackin outstanding Fr their team. Aoibhinn Mc Hugh was the pick of the Aghyaran side but a red card for full forward Tara Mc Hugh in the second half made things even more challenging for the north Tyrone side.

Moy settled quickly and points in the opening ten minutes from Conroy (0-3) and  Emer Currie put them in control but two cracking runs from Mc Hugh opened up the Moy defence as she sent over two points.

Moy goalkeeper O’Hanlon denied Tara Mc Hugh with a fine stop while Currie added points and Conroy was also on target. The East Tyrone side led 8-3 at the break as Sasha Byrne came off the bench to score Aghyaran’s third point and add impetus to their attack despite not being 100% fit.

Another Mc Hugh goal opportunity was stopped by O’Hanlon on the restart as Moy continued to boss proceedings withLucy Mc Alary and Conroy adding points. Byrne pulled a point back for Aghyaran while Mc Hugh carried the ball well and there were some quality passages of play from Laura Maguire as they battled to stay in the contest but it was a case of too little too late and Moy can now look forward to a clash with Omagh in the next round.

Tattyreagh St Patricks 0-5

Castlederg St Eugene’s 2-8
