Termon ladies spoiled the homecoming for Letterkenny Gaels who made history by playing their first Ladies game at park Na Gaels Letterkenny on Sunday morning.
The Gaels who had one other previous outing were, to find that Termon's second string were in no comprising mood and indeed Hugh Harkin and Adrian Brady's charges meant action from referee Gerard Mc Hugh's throw in.
The Letterkenny mentors Jim Farrell and Oisin Cannon were left contemplating what could have been after, after several Gaels scoring efforts were squandered, and
Termon took hold of the game. Jamie Leigh Murray who was a thorn in the Gaels side put in a very powerful performance assisted by Roisin Mc Kelvey. Larger Photos click here
