ARMAGH AND DONEGAL ARE CHAMPIONS

Massive congratulations are due to the U16’s from Armagh and Donegal who secured All Ireland U16 B and C titles this week.

 

First up were Donegal who met neighbours Leitrim on Tuesday evening. The Tir Chonnail girls dominated form start to finish winning the tie 6-22 to 4-5. First half goals from Orla Ward and Cayla McFadden saw Donegal take control and they led by 2-11 to 3-4 at the break. With Mia O Donnell (0-8), Eva Mc Namara (0-8) and Mc Fadden (2-2) in outstanding form, there was no stopping Donegal.

 

Armagh were in action on Wednesday night and like Donegal the Orchard side were outstanding from start to finish. The trio of Aoife Hagan, Cassie Henderson and Player of the Match Lily McBennett illuminated Glennon Brothers Pearse Park with a scintillating display of direct, pacey and stylish football ensuring the Orchard County retained their All-Ireland U-16 ‘B’ title at Galway’s expense with plenty to spare. Mc Bennet finished top scorer with a 2-7 contribution.
