Division 4: Our second team lost out to a strong Mullinalaghta side on Sunday. Dromard battled hard throughout and put together some good attacking moves. Peter Mimnagh scored an excellent goal in the second half to narrow the margin but Mullinalaghta finished strongly and extended their advantage towards the finish. A special mention for John Donohoe who made a welcome return to action for Dromard after a nine-year absence and played very solidly at corner back.
