Cappagh Ladies did their parish proud last night in a thrilling encounter against Dromore at Greencastle.
The match itself was end to end stuff; with both teams slow to start, the first half picked up pace and finished all square. The second half was a tense affair, after conceding two goals the Cappagh girls fought back to draw the scoreline with a high pressure free in the dying seconds of the half. Both teams and management agreed to extra time and played the tie out to a conclusion.
The crowd that filled the stand witnessed both teams trade scores during the first 10 minutes of extra time which again finished with both teams level pegging.
Injuries crept into both teams during the second half of extra time, and as the final whistle drew ever closer St Dympnas intermediate experience saw them edge to victory by a mere 2 points (2-11 to 0-15).
The club would like to take the opportunity to congratulate the entire squad and management for all their commitment and dedication.

The Club would like to take the opportunity to thank evreyone who took the time to come along to the recent LIVE TO PLAY event. The event was well attended by every section of our our club (young & old), the local community and beyond.
Live to Play aims to raise awareness of Road Safety and sets about to educate members on how best to stay safe on the roads. The programme will be delivered in partnership with the County board and in particular the programme will focus on young people as it is they who are most likely to be involved in a traffic collision.
A range of GAA profile personalities have lent their support to the campaign, and will act as role models in poster and web-based promotion. These posters will be available to Clubs and schools later in the year and the images are also carried in the Ulster Championship match programme. It is hoped that the Road Safety messages carried by well know players and managers from across the GAA family will have a direct impact on young people.
The newly commissioned ‘seat-belt’ Ulster jersey is worn by all the players involved in this campaign, strongly reinforcing a Road Safety message through the design of the Black and Amber of our Province. The Live to Play Section of the Ulster GAA website will grow in the coming months to carry important education, from Public Authorities and GAA alike. The web pages will also promote the good work going on at Club and County level on this matter, such as the recent Killyclogher event.
Indeed, perhaps the greatest impact of this campaign is the delivery of the programme at Club level. Education workshops delivered by a range of Road Safety educators which will take place directly with Club members. These have being piloted in Tyrone and Fermanagh in the spring and will roll out across Ulster in the coming year. It is hoped that this education will lead to us all taking greater care on the roads and doing our bit to reducing number of accidents. GAA members can show their support of the campaign by displaying the Live to Play air fresheners and car stickers which will be available as part of the programme.
The full impact of Live to Play may never be known but if even one life is saved by the campaign it will truly be worth it. Please join with the programme by getting involved in any future events in our Club, County and play your part.
Special thanks must be given to The Ulster Council, especially Alieen Tohill & Cuthbert Donnelly, our own County Board & Mickey Harte, the PSNI and the Fire Service NI.
FINAL ORDERS MUST BE PLACED BY TOMORROW, FRIDAY APRIL 30th, NO LATER THAN 5PM. CALL EMMA 077 3909 2351!!!
