Any News – it’s that time of year when news on the ground gets a little quiet so if any of you have any info please pass it along to me Noel by text on 0861931933 or email at pro.drumhowan,monaghan@gaa.ie Try to do this before 10pm Monday evening because after that time it cannot be guaranteed for inclusion and I wouldn’t want to upset any of you!
