Coach Mark Coulter said: “Women’s sport is often overlooked in relation to funding, we are delighted to receive this generous donation from Power NI, which will be put to good use to purchase new training equipment for the upcoming season. Hopefully the new kit will help us win more silverware for the club.”

Oonagh added: “It’s so important for companies in NI to support clubs and organisations. Helping Hands is a brilliant initiative which really gives clubs extra help during tough economic times.”
