Dromintee still in the mix for a return to St Paul’s

By Michael McMullan

DROMINTEE will put their Armagh and Ulster titles on the line when they cross paths in the Armagh final.

They were semi-final winners over Silverbridge last weekend.

It’s a competition that had been delayed due to the unresolved saga following the quarter-final between Silverbridge and Carrickcruppen.

The draw for the  Ulster campaign also took place last weekend.

There are some mouthwatering ties as the top minor teams in Ulster begin their quest to lift the prestigious Jimmy McConville Trophy on New Year’s Day.
