Congratulations to the senior camogie girls, who are the Junior Champions for 2021. They defeated Crosserlough in Kingspan Breifne on a scoreline of 0-12 to 0-04. Team captain Helen Lynch thanked the team mentors David Mc Carney and Caroline Martin, and all the girls and supporters. Aine Corcoran received the player of the match award.

Under lights on a calm evening on the 3g the Drumgoon Camogie team put in a fantastic display of teamwork and skill to take the Junior Championship with an impressive win over Crosserlough 0.12 to 0.4. Both teams were up for the game from the throw in but Áine Corcoran opened the scoring for Drumgoon with a well taken point.  This was quickly followed by and excellent point from Ellen Maguire.  Crosserlough found their stride and scored a point from play.  Two points from a 45 and a free from Ciara Fitzpatrick left Drumgoon up 0.4 to 0.1 at the first water break.  The restart seen another point for Ciara from a free.  A point from play for Crosserlough followed by a couple of near misses for Drumgoon before Michelle Dolan scored 2 excellent points in as many minutes to leave the half time score 0.7 to 0.2.  The second half started fast and furious with a lot of tough tackling and exchanges.  Crosserlough pilled on the pressure, but the Drumgoon backline were solid and Rebecca Brady in goals made some excellent clearances.  Crosserlough pointed two frees but another excellent point from Michelle Dolan kept the momentum with the Drumgoon girls.   Crosserlough kept putting on the pressure but failed to hit the target.  Another point for Áine Corcoran put 6pts between the sides with eight minutes to go.  With time running out another super point from Áine brought great cheers from the Drumgoon supporters but she kept the best for last with an absolutely stunning point just before the final whistle, she totally deserved the Player of the Match award.   

This was a superb team display and all credit goes to every member who played their hearts out and to the team mangers Caroline Martin and David Carney.

Under 13 Boys are county champions
Drumgoon 9-23 Naomh Brid 1-05
Congratulations to the under 13 boys, who put on a display of teamwork and skill second to none on Saturday afternoon on the 3G in Breffni Park. Playing with a strong breeze the boys soon ran into an early lead as centre back Ciaran Clerkin drove the play forward finding Damien Hughes with pin point accuracy who shot over some brilliant scores. With a sound defence and Cameron O’ Reilly in great form in midfield, they piled on score after score and none better than when Cormac Clerkin shot over from the narrowest of angles. At the break, the boys led on a scoreline of 6-14 to 0-03. In the second half Naomh Brid, a combination of Drumalee and Redhills staged a comeback and scored a goal, but goals from the two joint captains, Ciaran and Damien soon broke their spirit. The boys thanked the team management of Martin Clerkin, Martin Hughes and Barry Crosson. The winning team was, Daniel O’ Reilly, Breen Clerkin, Breen Mc Donald, Rian Crosson, Brian Mc Dermott, Ciaran Clerkin (J. Capt.) 2-06, Cameron O’ Reilly 1-02, Damien Hughes(J.

All of the girls were in top form, as they deservedly led from start to finish. Winning the midfield battle they immediately went on the attack. Catherine Ahearne shot over a point, and in the next attack, a strong running Sarah Clarke, shot to the back of the net. The girls had 1-04 on the scoreboard before Laragh, got their first score. Laragh then got into the game and scored a goal and a point. Jordan Crowe was in scintillating form and she shot over 3 unanswered points to leave the scores 1-08 to 1-03 in Drumgoon favour at half time. With Aoife Mc Gorry and Cliona Farrell excelling in a well marshalled defence, Laragh found it difficult to break through. Drumgoon’s livewire captain Tess Mc Cann covered every blade of grass in Breffni Park, as she played a sweeper role and continually supported the attack. Their two star forwards, Catherine Ahearne and Jordan Crowe added a goal each, to leave the result in no doubt.
