Woods inspires Donaghmoyne

Majella Woods played a captain’s part for All-Ireland champions Donaghmoyne last Saturday as Monaghan’s finest retained their Tesco Homegrown Ulster ladies SFC title.

Woods scored 1-3 in the first-half as Donaghmoyne led 1-5 to 1-2 against Donegal opponents Termon at half-time in the replayed decider at Tyrone venue Trillick.

In the second-half, Eileen McElroy, Cathriona McConnell and Amanda Casey added goals as Donaghmoyne ran riot to claim a 4-14 to 1-4 win.

Geraldine McLaughlin netted Termon’s goal in the first half, after Donaghmoyne opened up a 1-2 to 0-0 lead. Donaghmoyne now march on to the All-Ireland series, where they will face the Banner Ladies from Clare.

Meanwhile, Mayo star Cora Staunton was on fire as Carnacon claimed an eighth successive Connacht title. Staunton scored all but two of her side’s points as Carnacon beat Galway opponents Kilkerrin-Clonberne 0-19 to 0-11.
