Eurotech Junior Football League – Drumhowan 2-13 Aghabog 4-8
Drumhowan took on Aghabog away in Round 10 of the Eurotech Junior Football League last Saturday the 16th of June. Drumhowan started brightly with a goal from Aidan Duffy. However Aghabog responded quickly with a goal of their own. Further points from Aidan Duffy and Kieran Mooney left 2 points in it after 15 minutes. Drumhowan then had their best period of the game scoring 1-5 to Aghabog’s solitary point with another goal coming from Aidan Duffy. This left the half time score Drumhowan 2-8 Aghabog 1-3..Aghabog opened the 3rd quarter well scoring 1-3 before Ciaran Duffy got one point back. With 5 minutes left Aghabog scored a goal to leave only a point in it. Drumhowan then kicked 2 points to leave a goal in it going into the last minute. However Aghabog finished strongly with 1-1 to take the lead for the first time and try as they may Drumhowan couldn’t score to equalise. This therefore means Drumhowan must beat Rockcorry (this game took place last night Wednesday the 20th of June) and Oram to secure a place in the Cup section of the league. Team: Enda Duffy, Darren Duffy, Owen Quinn, Mickey Atkinson, Aiden Quinn, David Millar, Niall Mooney, Kieran Mc Elroy, Anthony Mulligan, Kevin Mooney, Liam Mc Guirk, Ciaran Duffy, Mark Mc Cabe, Aidan Duffy, Kieran Mooney Subs – Paddy Mulligan for Mickey Atkinson, Niall Duffy for Anthony Mulligan (BC)
Platinum Tanks RFL Division 2 A – Drumhowan 1-12 Ballybay 5-12 Last Wednesday 13th June Drumhowan took on fellow parishioners Ballybay in Pearse Park. In the opening quarter Ballybay raced into an early lead but Drumhowan fought back in the 2nd quarter to leave the half time score Drumhowan 0-6 to 0-8 . Ballybay opened the 2nd half brightly scoring a goal and a few points but Drumhowan replied with a goal of their own from Kieran Mooney to leave not much in. However two quick goals mid way during the half finished the game as a contest. Then on the stroke of full time another goal from Ballybay left 4 goals in a game that was much closer than the full time scoreline would suggest.
