Platinum Tanks RFL Division 2A  –  Last Friday the 4th of May Sean Mc Dermotts were the visitors to Pairc Mhic Eoin for Round 5 of the League.  In a game that  ebbed and flowed both teams kept close to each other throughout the game. Colm Lambe opened the scoring for Drumhowan  followed by a free from Mark Mc Cabe to leave the score 0-2 after 15 minutes. Further points from Colm Lambe and Niall Duffy left the score at half time Sean Mc Dermotts 0-5 Drumhowan 0-4.   The 2nd half continued as per the first half and at the end of the third quarter  it was still stalemate after the three quarter mark with both teams level at 0-8 each.  Points were exchanged once again  with Colm Lambe putting Drumhowan a point ahead with 5 minutes left. At this stage Drumhowan spurned a number of chances to put the game beyond reach. Seans then went down the field to level matters in the 30th minute.
