Club Notes 29/5/2012
Sympathy is extended to all the Finnegan family on the tragic death of Lilly. Her family’s influence can certainly be felt in the club. A son Gerry, chairman, a granddaughter Megan PRO, grandsons Patrick and Damien up to recently and perhaps in the future members of the senior panel and finally great grandson Tristan who is just starting out on his Drumhowan career at the U8s. Her popularity could be seen with the huge crowds who were at Doohamlet where she was laid to rest on Sunday. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a hanam.
Senior and Junior Bs – After a quiet week things are now back with a bang. The Junior Bs hope to continue their recent good run. They played Killeevan on Wednesday in Drumhowan.

Finally the Bs are out on Sunday at 2 in Magheracloone in the semi-final of the O’Duffy Cup. All support will be welcome in what hopefully will be the 1st of many semi-finals of the year
U-16 St Pats 3-21 Seans 3-5. The under 16 side had a high scoring win in Threemilehouse last week. Although the margin of victory was comfortable at the end it was only in the last ten minutes that we pulled away. This competition now goes on hold until after the exams.

Best wishes to the team and management in this competition and we would appeal to our supporters to come out in numbers to support the team. Their first game was against Eire Og on Monday night last which resulted in a good win. After the 1st third the game was pretty tight but the team pulled away a little in the 2nd third. Final Score was Drumhowan 3 – 12 Eire Og 1 – 5
