‘I’m a Celeb’ -Night

After all the hard work of the previous three months of fundraising, the moment of truth came on Friday night last for the 24 ‘I’m a celeb’ contestants. In front of an audience of over 600 people in the Tullamore Court Hotel the 24 contestants were eventually whittled down to two contestants after a series of ‘eating’ competitions and challenges. With Pio Spillane just getting the edge in the eating challenge, to be crowned ‘The King of the Jungle’.  The night proved to be a fantastic night’s entertainment for all who attended and ran into the early hours with the assistance of ‘Rock on Paddy’. The club would like to sincerely thank all the Contestants for their time and effort they put into the fundraising over the past three months, the sponsors for money donated, the main sponsor Leamore Construction Ltd. and to the people of the community both far and wide that support all the events over the past couple of months and all those who came out and support the contestants on Friday night last. A full tally of the money raised will be announced in the coming weeks when all funds are in.

Senior ‘B’ Hurling Championship

Drumcullen 0-16

Lusmagh 0-14

Trailing 0-8 to 0-7 at the break, Drumcullen put in a decent second half performance to edge this game played in lovely conditions in Kinnitty on Saturday evening. This game could have gone either way and Lusmagh will probably rue some missed chances while Drumcullen used limited possession to good effect. In the course of the game Drumcullen were awarded a meagre two frees in the opposition half in the entire game. While there might be a case on some refereeing decisions, it also reflects a dearth of possession won in that area over the hour. On the other hand Drumcullen conceded many needless frees and were fortunate that some were not converted. It is unusual to single out any individual player for mention, on this occasion Ray Gath must be applauded for an outstanding contribution, not only in his five points from play from midfield but also his work-rate in both defence and attack. Drumcullen have collected full points from their two games and players and management must take credit for this situation heading into the long summer break. Team: E. Gath, D. Mahon, D. Guinan, D. Maher, J. Cashin, P. Guinan, C. Guinan, K. Fleury, R. Gath (0-5), S. Hanrahan (0-1), D. Gath,(0-1), Colm Gath (0-3), M. Kennedy, Conor Gath (0-5), D. Spain (0-1). Subs used: H. Ryan, J. Murray
