All the latest News from Ulster Ulster champions Armagh’s unbeaten league run came to an end yesterday as they were beaten by Laois 2-5 to 1-4. The Orchard girls just never got going and trailed at the break 0-2 to 1-2. Maria O Donnell scored a second half goal but it was much too little too late. All in all it was a pretty bad performance lacking in the usual high workrate. Monaghan on the other hand managed to secure their first points of the league with an excellent 0-11 to 0-10 win over Kildare. The foundation for this win was the introduction of substitutes Slainey Murray and Majella Woods. The pair gave the Farney girls a lot more power upfront and the duo didn’t let their manager down, scoring three points between them and setting up almost all of the other second half scores. Monaghan battled hard and eventually took the lead mid way through the second half and while Kildare did finish strong Monaghan held on for the narrowest of wins. Donegal remain pointless after losing to Galway 2-11 to 1-6. A Karen Guterie goal early in the second half did put the Tir Chonnail girls ahead however goals from Sarah Cosgrove and Phil Fitzpatrick helped Galway maintain their top of the table position. Cavan maintained their unbeaten run in Division 3. The Breffni girls hammered Offaly 4-22 to 2-7. Grainne Smith finished top scorer with 1-6 while the other Breffni goals came from Bronagh Sherdian, Una Cusack and Brid Boylan. Edel Gallagher was the toast of Antrim yesterday. The St. Galls forward ran riot, scoring 3-3 as the Saffrons beat Derry 3-10 to 1-3. The result will give Antrim loads of confidence ahead of the championship meeting of the same two teams later in the season And finally the Tyrone v Kerry game was postponed yesterday owing to the death of Nora Connolly, Augher. Nora was the mother of former Tyrone manager Aidan Connolly and the mother in law of the Tyrone Honourary President Mary Connolly. The thoughts and prayers of all involved in ladies football in the province are with Aidan and Mary at this time. Share this Article 0 0
