Eoghan Rua clinch historic senior championship title

Eoghan Rua LGFA club from west Sligo made history on Saturday afternoon by winning their first-ever Sligo LGFA Connacht Gold senior football championship title.

They scored a 1-11 to 0-7 win over defending champions St Nathy's, who were bidding to win a seventh consecutive senior title.

The teams had finished level last weekend at Markievicz Park (0-9 to 1-6) but in this replay Eoghan Rua clearly held the upper hand.

The west Sligo girls led by 1-3 to 0-2 at half-time thanks to Fiona Feeney's goal.

And they pulled clear after the restart with Keeva Flynn (0-6) instrumental in a series of fine points to edge Eoghan Rua towards a history-making Saturday.

Flynn was subsequently named Player of the Match.

This win comes just weeks after Eoghan Rua won a first-ever Sligo LGFA minor 'A' football championship title.
