On Sunday last at Fr McGee Park we booked our place in the Leader Cup final with a one point win over neighbours Dromard.It
was an entertaining game with both teams sharing the
lead in the first half and Colmcille racing into a strong lead in the
second, only for Dromard to claw back to within a point at the finish.
In the end we deservedly held out for the win and have now reached a
fourth Leader Cup final this decade. Hopefully we can finish the year
with a victory against Abbeylara who defeated Clonguish in the other
semi-final.

Anthony Gormley, Francis Kavanagh, Podge Murtagh, Kevin Farrell, Declan C Reilly,
