A confident Glasdrumman U-16 squad travelled to Drumgath on Tuesday night having won their last game.  Both teams started well with the two teams exchanging points in the first moments of the match.  Glasdrumman gained the upper-hand during the second quarter with good scores been taken from Paul Grant, Stefan McGuinness and Connarie Harrison to leave the half time score Glasdrumman 0-7 Drumgath 0-2

In the second period, further scores from Connaire Harrison and a great goal from Paul McCaffrey saw Glasdrumman put some distance between the teams.  Stefan McGuinness scored another point after good work from the defence, especially the half-back line of James McDowell, Ryan Doran and Gavin McCracken.  The ever-improving Dale Grant played his best football yet for the club playing in the full-back line alongside Christopher Cassidy and Jamie Carroll.  The team played well as a unit, but will have to up their game further for the away fixture against Glenn next Tuesday, 7pm.

 Man of the match: Gavin McCracken

Training continues this week, Saturday 5pm, all players expected to attend.

 Glasdrumman: Shane Harrison, Dale Grant, Christopher Cassidy, Jamie Carroll, James McDowell, Ryan Doran, Gavin McCracken, Paul Grant, Martin McGrath, Stefan McGuinness, Connaire Harrison (Cpt), Colm Grant, Paul McCaffrey, Mark Doran.  Subs: Connor Stevenson, Nathan McCracken, Daniel Rooney.
