Division 1: Colmcille 2-6 Dromard 1-7.  Our senior team suffered a narrow two-point defeat to Colmcille on Sunday in McGee Park. In a game played in difficult weather conditions, two early goals for Colmiclle proved to be the difference between the sides. A well-taken Cian Mimnagh goal brought Dromard into the game after the early setbacks as they trailed by a goal at the break 2-3 to 1-3. In the second half, Dromard stayed in contention with pointed frees from Cian Mimnagh but were unable to close the gap on their opponents as Colmcille held on to claim the two points. A speedy recovery to David Pettit who picked up an injury during the game.
