Junior Football League

Round three of the League, and Drumhowan were the visitors to Threemilehouse on Sunday afternoon last. This was to be a rough and tumble affair with no love lost between the two teams. Every score was hard fought for and the game was certainly value for money for the supporters. Although Drumhowan were a point to the good at end of the first half we had battled well, played hard and Murt Cleere had saved a penalty. The second half proved our metal and slowly the wheels turned and scores became more frequent. The referees whistle was hardly even wetted in the second period when Niall Kearns took the Seans level. From here the team grew in stature and points from Mark Keogh , James McAleer , And a brace from Adam O Driscoll pushed the momentum in the home teams favour. The Old Dog and new tricks adage could not be applied to Damien Larkin as he was up to his old tricks having been introduced as a sub with fifteen minutes remaining. Within his first three strides of entering the field of play the ball was over the bar. From here there was no return and the home team closed out the win with four points to spare , 0-12 to 0-8. A good solid performance in general and plenty to be pleased about, three wins from three games is not to be sneezed at.

We wish Martin Kieran a speedy recovery having sustained a broken ankle in the previous league game.
