Then within 2 minutes Cremartin had turned the game on it’s head with two goals. This forced Drumhowan into action with Drumhowan scoring 5 unanswered points before Cremartin registered another. Mark Mc Cabe then kicked his third free of the half in injury time to leave the score at the break Drumhowan 0-9 Cremartin 2-4.
The second half opened brighly for Drumhowan with Mark Mc Cabe and Kevin Mooney scoring a brace of points before Cremartin replied with a point of their own. Almost immediately Aidan Duffy had the ball in the back of the Cremartin net to leave Drumhowan 5 up after ten minutes. Mark Mc Cabe kicked another two frees before Aidan Duffy got his second goal of the game to leave nine in it with the game going into it’s final quarter. Cremartin then got a goal back but Drumhowan playing their best football of the year were having none of it with Mark Mc Cabe and Kevin Mooney scoring points.

Gr8 Entertainment U11 Liam Stirrat Development League. Emyvale 0-22. Drumhowan 0-16 The U11s had an exciting game in Mc Keown Park on Saturday against a well drilled and skillful Emyvale side. Emyvale came flying out of the traps and blew us away in the first period running into a substantial lead before the team even woke up .However they really improved their performance in the second two periods and managed to put some excellent football , good foot passing and good score taking together. They played with far more determination and drive in the last 2 periods . However try as they may they couldn’t fully pull back the lead Emyvale had amassed in the first period. Next up is a home match against Inniskeen on Saturday 4th August..
