Eurotech Junior Football League – Drumhowan 1-14 Oram 0-7 Drumhowan Seniors finished off their league campaign last Friday the 30th of June with a 10 point win over Oram The first half proved a tight affair with Oram every bit as good as Drumhowan with scores pretty even. Drumhowan opened the scoring with a Kieran Mooney point followed by one from Mark Mc Cabe. Oram replied with the next three before new father Kieran Mc Elroy got the first of his two. However Oram had their most productive spell of the game and and after 20 minutes were 0-5 to 0-3 ahead. Two points from frees by Mark Mc Cabe brought it all level before the decisive score of the game came on the 25 minute when Aidan Duffy scored a goal from a Ciaran Duffy pass. Michael Atkinson and Mark Mc Cabe would then score again to leave the half time score Drumhowan 1-7 Oram 0-6
The 2nd half proved to be less exciting than the first with Oram only registering 1 point in the whole half that in the 9th minute. while Drumhowan registered 7 points the highlight of these being 3 long range points from Ciarán Duffy. Barry Mc Guirk fresh from his southern hemisphere break also got on the score sheet in the 20th minute before points from Michael Atkinson and Kieran Mc Elroy finished off the scoring to leave 10 points in it at the end.
