Platinum Tanks RFL League Division 2 Round 2 Last Saturday the 26th of March Drumhowan reserves made the journey to Tyholland where they took on the locals. It was a definitely a case of two halves as Drumhowan led by 7 points at half time with the score at 3-3 to 1-2 despite playing against a strong wind. Ciaran Deery scored two goals for the second week in a row with Club secretary Paul Mc Guirk securing the third. The points were scored by Dermot Mooney and the midfield pairing of JP O Neill and Dean Mooney with Dean’s score a noteworthy one 40 metres out from the outside of the boot.
The home side came into the game a lot more in the 2nd half exerting a whole lot of pressure and restricted Drumhowan to two pointed frees by Mark Mc Cabe.
