Intermediate League- Drumhowan lost their league game on Saturday last to Currin in what can only be described as a poor performance. Final score was 2-16 to 7 points, scorers included C. Lambe, M. Atkinson, N. Mooney and D. Millar. There is plenty of room for improvement in our next game away to Truagh on Saturday evening at 7.15.
Minors – St Pats opened their division 2 campaign with a narrow 2 point win in a high scoring game at home to Cremartin on a scoreline of 3-12 to 3-10. This was a good game of football with the result in doubt right up to the end. Next up is a game against Seans on Tuesday next at 7.15 in Threemilehouse.
Under 16 – St Pats 16 squad also open their Division 1 campaign with an impressive victory over Monaghan Harps on a score of 4-12 to 0-8. This was a good start to the league against an understrength Harps side on the night. Next up is Seans at home in Ballybay this evening followed by another home game next Thursday 18th v Clontibret.
Under 12- play Cremartin in the Spring league away on Friday evening at 6.30pm. Please note change of date.

Guinness World Record Attempt- Drumhowan along with other clubs and organisations are attempting to break the Guinness World Record for the largest 3 legged race on Saturday May 4th at 11.30am and we need as many people as possible to take part on the day. At a recent committee meeting we decided to be a part of this record breaking attempt and promote this event. The race will take place on participating club grounds throughout the country on Saturday 4th May at 11:30am . All we have to do is get juvenile players, their friends, senior players, club members and indeed anyone within the community that wants to take part in the event to sell five lines at €3.00 each and the club raises money and at the end of the day you will be part of a World Record. It will be a Guinness Book of Records event and when successful, we will break an official Guinness World Record and there will be a Certificate for every participant confirming that they have broken a World Record. So please get selling and see you on the day to take part.
