What can we say about last Saturday’s minor ‘B’ championship final in Collooney? Two fine teams produced an epic hour of football. It was a contest that could have swung either way. In the end, opponents St Mary’s got their by a single point, on a final scoreline of 4-11 to 3-13, but the DRP lads can hold their heads high. Well done to all the players and the hard-working management team led by Des Henry.
