FIXTURES: Intermediate Premier. Friday the 15th of August. Dromin/Athlacca Vs Croom in Kilbreedy at 8pm
RESULTS: Junior B. Dromin/Athlacca 3-9 Camogue Rovers 1-8.
Friday the 8th Dromin/Athlacca travelled to Bruff to take on Camogue rovers.
There is always a rivalry between these two clubs, so this game was sure to be an exciting one.
The ref was Donal Browne. Once the ball was thrown in straight away both teams knew this wasn’t going to be a relaxed game. Donal Walsh got the first point of the game after a tough battle, but this was quietened quickly by the Camogue side with a point to keep the teams level.
Both teams trying to settle the nerves for this important game and it was the blue and white side to settle first with points by Killian Liston, Richard Ryan and Joe power. The Dromin/Athlacca side taking the lead after 15 minutes. This was going to be a tight game. No sooner had the Dromin/Athlacca side settled into the game, Camogue Rovers took the lead by putting the ball into the back of the net.
The half time score was Dromin/Athlacca 4 points, Camogue Rovers 1-6.
Straight away in the second half Mike Mead steels 2 points for the Dromin/Athlacca Side. This time it proved to be the team in blue and white that were taking control of the game with a goal by Donal Walsh. Camogue Rovers were struggling to keep up with this young side as Joe Power ran rings around his marker. The Camogue side weren’t giving up just yet as they kept keeping their points to stay in the game but it was Donal Walsh again to dampen their spirits with another goal.
Peter McMahon and Kevin McManus dominating at midfield winning every puck out that was given to them. This young pair would pose a threat for any team they are to come up against. The game was truly put to an end with Donal Walsh pulling off a hat-trick. Kieran Shortt just adding that last sting to the score with a point.
The Game ended Dromin/Athlacca 3-9, Camogue Rovers 1-8

Arts & Crafts: This parish has been known to have some of the finest craft’s men and women. These crafts go back generations with the likes of Jack Burns making headstones and fancy stonework over 20 years ago to Eileen Douhig making some of the finest patch work quilts in this time period. These are trades in themselves and have been passed down from generation to generation only to become lost in this century. This week we are acknowledging people who are working in Timber and Stone.
Wood Carving: Congratulations to Gerard O’Connor Dromin, on starting his new business “O’Connor Walking Sticks”, all sticks are handcrafted using natural materials in his workshop which is based at Shearin’s Cross, Dromin.

Different types of stone can be used most common are limestone, sandstone of which both have different colours, there are of course different types of walling such as random rubble, dry stonework, cut stone or coursed work. With over twenty five years experience in stonework, from working on national monuments,house fronts, entrances, fireplaces and occasionally one off projects, stonework is of course very cost effective, with little or no maintenance after.
