Drumree 0-15  Dunboyne 2-20

Drumree put in a spirited and determined performance against a strong Dunboyne side in this hard-fought encounter. The final scoreline of 0-15 to 2-20 doesn’t do justice to the fight, skill, and resilience shown by the away team, who pushed their opponents to the limit.

From the opening whistle, Drumree took the fight to Dunboyne, matching them stride for stride in open play. Kevin Bawle was immense throughout, working tirelessly across the pitch, winning crucial ball, and driving his team forward. His leadership and composure was evident as Drumree kept Dunboyne on their toes, racing into a four-point lead by the 14th minute. However, a well-taken Dunboyne goal just before the half-time whistle shifted momentum slightly, leaving the score at 0-9 to 1-8 in Dunboyne’s favour at the break.

Sean Kennedy put in a tireless shift, working hard to protect his goal and ensure Drumree remained competitive. Cathal McCormack was a constant thorn in Dunboyne’s side. His sharp movement and scoring accuracy kept Drumree in the hunt, ensuring the scoreboard kept ticking over.

While Dunboyne managed to find the net twice, it was Drumree’s relentless effort and refusal to give in that defined the game. Even as their opponents stretched their lead late on, the men in red and white battled for every ball, showing heart, determination, and a never-say-die attitude.

In the end, the goals proved to be the difference, but Drumree can take huge positives from this performance. Their work rate, hunger, and quality were clear throughout, and if they continue to perform at this level, they will be a force to be reckoned with as the season progresses.
