Under 10– This group had a busy week with two outings. First up was Monaghan Harps Community games team on Thursday evening last. After a pulsating game the town side emerged victors by 1 point on a scoreline of Monaghan Harps 5-9 Drumhowan 3-14. This was a real high end game with some excellent scores and displays by both sides. Drumhowan had the upper hand in the first half but a three goal burst in as many minutes put Harps in the driving seat in the middle of the second half. Well done to both teams, our ref Patrick Duffy and best of luck to Monaghan Harps in the Community Games competition.
