Eurotech JFL  Last Sunday the 14th of September we took on Toome in the battle for 4th place in the League. It ended in a draw  1- 9 apiece so with 3 games left in the league  for both  teams, Toome have definitely the upper hand now, being two points ahead in the league standings. It all started so differently and after 20 minutes we led by 1 -5  to 0-1 and could have been ahead by more. In the 12 minute of the 2nd half Toome scored a somewhat fortunate goal to level the game. Both sides traded points until the 23rd minute of the half when a Kevin Mooney free levelled matters. The remaining minutes remained scoreless and Drumhowan were left to regret missed opportunities throughout the game.  Scorers  Aidan Duffy 1- 0 Enda Duffy 0 - 2 (1,45 &1F)  Kevin Mooney 0 - 2 (2F) Kieran Mooney 0 - 2 (2F) Patrick Mulligan 0 - 2, Kieran Mc Elroy 0 - 1,  The next and final game before the Championship Final will be against Scotstown away this Saturday evening  at 4pm.
