Drumhowan 5-14 Magheracloone 2-7
Drumhowan secured the U13 Division 2 Double in St. Victors Park, Toome when they overcame a determined Magheracloone side who really put it up to the mid Monaghan side in the first half. Drumhowan opened the scoring with two points from Tom Doherty one from play and another from a placed ball. Magheracloone replied with a point from Shane Mc Mahon . Drumhowan then hit three points without reply but the south Monaghan side hit 2-2 within a 5 minute spell the goals coming from Joe Burns and Michael Carroll to go three points ahead with ten minutes left in the half. That was as good as it got for Magheracloone as Jason Clarke hit 1-2 with the points coming from frees to leave Drumhowan just ahead 1-8 to 2-3 at half time.
Drumhowan started in whirlwind fashion at the beginning of the second half scoring 1-3 in the first few minutes . Magheracloone then put the Geraldines under severe pressure but all they got from it due to great defending was a free from captain Patrick Doogan before Jason Clarke hit another point. Magheracloone were on top during the half way point of the half but despite a lot of possession only hit two points. Drumhowan then took over in the last five minutes of the game with three goals coming from Killian Mc Adam, sub Evan Treanor and captain Jonathan Lavelle. Half back Conor Curran then kicked a point two minutes into injury time to close the scoring with Drumhowan winning on a 5-14 to 2-7 scoreline and so secure a Division 2 Double for the first time in the club’s history
