Leader Cup Quarter Final: The senior team were defeated by Colmcille in the quarter-final of the Leader Cup played in wet and windy conditions on Sunday last. Given the long gap since the team's last fixture, preparations for this game were not ideal and a hungrier Colmcille team ran out deserving winners. Dromard lined out as follows: Damien Sheridan, Paul McGee, Niall Vance, David Petit, Pauric Martin, Peter Masterson, James Mimnagh, Diarmuid Masterson, Bernard Sheridan, Emmet Masterson, Francis McGee, James Martin, Cian Mimnagh, Gary Maguire, John Sheridan. Subs: Peter Mimnagh, Martin McGee, Sean McNerney, Michael Reilly, Peter Reynolds. This draws the curtain on the senior team's season. Thanks to the supporters who turned out in wet conditions on Sunday and during the year and to the panel and management for their dedication over a long season.
