Ulster University Magee claim historic first Division 3 Camogie league crown
Manager Reece Armstrong hails squad’s accuracy and character following 5-18 to 4-07 final triumph in Dromintee.
Ulster University Magee (UUM) Senior Camogie team has made history after defeating University College Dublin (UCD) 5-18 to 4-07 to win the Electric Ireland Third Level Camogie Division 3 League Final.
Played at Dromintee GAC, the emphatic 14-point triumph, marks the first time UU Magee has lifted the Division 3 League title, bringing historic silverware back to the Derry campus following a clinical attacking display.
Speaking after the final whistle, UU Magee Manager Reece Armstrong praised both his squad's accuracy on the pitch and their character as a group: "I'm very happy with the result. It took us a few minutes to get a goal in, but we fired the ball over the bar and put the ball under the bar when needed.
“We didn't put too many balls wide, which really showed in the final score.
"I'm very, very happy and delighted with the group of players we have - and more importantly, the group of people we have in the squad today.
“We still have a few girls to return to the panel, so we are looking forward to welcoming them back and building on this momentum as we prepare for the championship.
UU Magee Camogie Chairperson Hannah Mullen highlighted the dedication behind the scenes that made the breakthrough victory possible.
She said: "The girls have put in a massive shift over the last couple of weeks. It is really, really good to see all the hard work that goes on both on the pitch and behind the scenes get its return on the pitch."
