Gerry’s Prepared Veg U14 Championship Finals – last Saturday the 16th of July Drumhowan played host to 3 U14 championship finals. Thanks to everyone who helped out on the day whether in the shop, serving tea or stewarding. It was all greatly appreciated. In the first game our own Patrick Duffy took charge of the Division 5 final between the B teams of the Harps and Donaghmoyne. Then in the Division 3 final between Cremartin and Aughnamullen there was perhaps an unique situation with the 3 game officials all from the Drumhowan club. Josh Sherry was the man in the middle while the 2 linesmen were David Hurson and Patrick Duffy. The club is deeply thankful to the 3 lads who referee on behalf of the club.
