Submitted by editor on Wed, 09/11/2011 - 10:22am DkIT senior footballers crashed out of the league on Monday (7th of November) after an unfortunate 1 point defeat to Letterkenny IT. With 2 and a half hour trip to O’Donnell Park in Letterkenny, the lads were sent home bitterly disappointed after such a close game. The loss ends this semester’s competitive term which has been a disappointing one for the team. But with a very good performance none the less they can look forward to the Trench Cup in February.
