Club Notes
Departure
The cameras were out early in Dromahair last Friday to prepare for the teams departure to Dublin. Katherine Lynch and the camera’s visited local businesses, Drumlease National School and Dromahair Playschool. Thanks to Mr. O’Farrell, all the staff and students in Drumlease National School for all their hard work preparing banners flags and songs. Thanks also to Teresa, Paula and Caroline who had Dromahair Playschool decked out in the Dromahair colours and all the students wearing their red and white. After all the visits it was time to prepare for departure. Katherine and the team were paraded down Main Street as far as their bus by a huge crowd. Thanks to Joe Fowley for providing the lorry. After all the excitement the team departed for Dublin at 3pm.
The Match
After an epic match on Saturday we progressed to the next round with a one point victory after two periods of extra time. Everyone that was at the game witnessed a great game between two evenly matched sides. Everyone in our club and area should be very proud of the way our team played, on a few occasions they looked like they had missed their chance but they would dig deeper and get straight back into the game. Well done to the entire panel on a great performance.
Ladies
The Ladies team played Cuala on Saturday morning unfortunately they were not successful. The club would like to thank the ladies for all the great support they have given our team over the weekend. Special thanks to the ladies Manager Doctor Ballintine who also helped out with our injured players during the Celebrity Bainisteoir match.
