Monaghan Electrical IFL  Last Sunday the 14th of June Drumhowan took on the west Monaghan boys Clones.  A win would be crucial for both sides. Clones had the upper hand in the 1st half with James Mealiff being the chief tormentor scoring a goal in the 13th minute.Clones also had a goal disallowed for a square ball infringement. At half time the score was Drumhowan  0-7 Clones 1-8. Drumhowan started the second half brightly scoring two points. Then in the 8th minute 1st half substitute Owen Quinn scored a goal to put Drumhowan ahead for the 1st time in the game. The game ebbed and flowed for the remainder of half with Owen Quinn also getting a goal allowed for a square ball infringement. Then in the 27th minute second half sub Michael Atkinson scored  his 2nd point  to put Drumhowan in the lead by the slenderest of margins a lead they held onto through the  four minutes of injury time. The full time score finished  Drumhowan 1-13 Clones 1-12. Another 2 valuable points gained.

Under 10   Drumhowan 3.16 Carrickmacross 2.19 . We had Carrick as opposition at our Sports day on Sunday last. After a thrilling encounter over almost 50 minutes the sides could not be seperated and the game ended in a draw. This was an excellent game played at blistering pace throughout with some brilliant scores, high fielding and whole hearted tackling. Well done to both sides and thanks to Carrick for travelling. After the game both teams recieved medals and we can look foward to a return game in Emmett Park later in the Summer.

Under 8 – This group had a very busy weekend with games on both Saturday and Sunday. We had games on Saturday at the Go Games Blitz in Cloghan against Clontibret, Scotstown, Latton and Carrickmacross. Then on Sunday at the Sports Day we had games against neighbours Aughnamullen and Doohamlet. All clubs had 2 teams meaning all children got playing in front of the large crowd present. Again there was some great football played and well done to all the teams. After the games all children received medals and a well earned drink to cool down. Thanks to all who helped, our coaches and to the four referees who kept control on proceedings. There is a good selection of photographs of the games on the Drumhowan facebook page.
