THE girls at Dungannon United Under-12’s have shown that their club’s success at underage level extends beyond the boys.

The County Tyrone-based girls’ performances earned them the Dale Farm Team of the Month award for June.

Following recent NIBFA cup successes for the boys at Dungannon, the girls lifted the Under-12 Dale Farm Cup last month.  United showed their quality, defeating strong Belfast opposition on their way to the cup.

The Dale Farm Player of the Month for June was awarded to Emma McMaster.  The Lisburn Ladies U-12 captain led by example for her side and put in some exceptional performances throughout the month.

Sara Booth, Women’s Football Coordinator at the Irish FA was quick to sing the praises of the Lisburn youngster. “Emma has an excellent attitude to the game and has lots of potential.

"It’s great to see young girls, like Emma, enjoying their football and playing to such a high level.  Yet again we would like to thank Dale Farm for their continued support to women’s football in Northern Ireland.”
