Jude McAtamney: Former Derry U20 player impresses for Giants in defeat by Jets
Former Derry Under-20s gaelic footballer Jude McAtamney kicked two field goals for New York Giants as they lost 10-6 to New York Jets in Saturday night’s pre-season game.
The 24-year-old was successful with his two field goal attempts, which were from 23 and 43 yards.
McAtamney also took kick-offs with regular kicker Graham Gano not featuring.
The Swatragh man is hoping to make the Giants practice squad ahead of the NFL season.
McAtamney, who won an Ulster Under-20s title with Derry, is competing with Scottish-born Gano for a roster spot.
He played two college seasons for Rutgers University who, like the Giants, are based in New Jersey.
