It was an absolutely fantastic and historic weekend for all members of Drumragh. From the launch at Clanabogan through to our arrival at Croke Park, The Great Todds Leap Solo Run provided many unforgettable memories – such as meeting Gaddafi in Ardee. A huge thanks and well done to everyone involved but especially to Gerry McGurgan and his organising committee. Also to Benny O’Hanlon, Todds Leap and the Harte and McAreavey families. Good luck to the reserves who play Fintona in the Championship away on Monday at 7pm. Both the seniors and reserves play Brackaville away in the League on Saturday. The reserves play at 4pm and the seniors start at 5.30pm. Youth training resumes on Saturday at Clanabogan at 10.30am to 12noon.
