The senior footballers drew their Championship relegation play-off with St John’s on Saturday evening on a final scoreline of 0-13 each. We were behind for much of the game and yet led by one going into the final minute of added time. Paul Logan kicked 0-9 of DRP’s total, all from frees. It was far from a vintage team display but the lads showed commendable character to come from three points down with 11 minutes remaining - and earn a share of the spoils. Eoin Gaughan, Alan O'Dowd, Seán Power and John Harvey all contributed good scores from play at important stages. Keep an eye on our social media pages for confirmation of the date, time and venue for the replay.

Last Tuesday’s City mini league game against St Mary’s in Scarden marked the last game with the club for Will Bennis as his family moves to Singapore. Will joined the club at U10 and made terrific progress as a player in a relatively short time. His team-mates presented him with a commemorative club jersey to remind him of his days with club. We wish Will and the Bennis family every success with their ‘next step’. Rumour has it that Singapore Gaelic Lions GAA club officials already have the transfer papers ready to greet Will at International arrivals!
