Croghan Drumlion U15 five a side footballers took part in this indoor competition on Saturday 16th February 2008.
Captain Shane O' Dowd, one of the county's most decorated players in this event, led his team out against a very strong side from Taughmaconnel. Shane holds 2 county medals, 1 Connaught and 1 All Ireland in this competition. The sides were level 2-2 at half time thanks to a magical strike from Mike Murtagh followed by a goal from defender Daniel Marron. Taughmaconnel used their physical strength to advantage in the second half to run out winners on the scoreline of 3-2. Keeper John McDermott made some excellent saves, Shane O'Dowd and Daniel Marron played their hearts out in defence.
Matthew Mulvey was excellent in defence and should prove a real force in next years event. Michael Murtagh and Darren Conlon tried their very best up front against a much stronger opposition.
Great credit to the team and management of Paul Beirne's and Luke O' Dowd for participating so strongly.
