Monaghan Electrical IFL  – the Senior League is now back running and we had two heavy defeats in the past week. Last Wednesday 15th April Cremartin were the visitors to Páirc Mhic Eoin. At half time there were three points in it with Drumhowan’s 4 points coming from the boot of Colm Lambe, 3 from placed balls. Things got worse and halfway into the 2nd half Drumhowan had fallen 8 points behind when a Kevin Mooney goal brought hope with 11 minutes left followed by another Colm Lambe  free. However this hope was short lived with Cremartin scoring a  goal in the 51st minute before adding 3 further points to leave the full time score Drumhowan 1 – 7 Cremartin 1 – 17 Scorers were  Com Lambe 0-6 (5 Frees) Kevin Mooney 1-0 Niall Mooney 0- 1

On Sunday we ventured to the south  of the county to take on Carrick Emmetts.  This time the game was effectively over at half time with Carrick scoring 3 first half goals to leave the half time score Drumhowan 0 -4 Carrick 3 – 6.  The next Drumhowan point came half way through the half with Aiden Quinn finishing off Drumhowan’s  scores  with a goal in the 22nd minute. The game finished with the score Drumhowan 1 – 6 Carrick 3 -13. Team and Scorers were Enda Duffy, Conor Duffy, Liam Mc Guirk, Barry Mc Guirk, Paddy Mulligan 0-1, Darren Duffy, Ciarán Duffy, Anthony Mulligan, John Paul O’ Neill, Niall Mooney 0-1, Colm Lambe 0-3(3f), Kieran Mooney 0-1 , Aiden Quinn1-0, Aidan Duffy,  David Millar, Rónán Duffy fand James Mc Elearney.
