Ciaran Mullan had to be carried off with a serious looking knee injury as Drumsurn were held to a draw by in-form Faughanvale.

Faughanvale got off to a flying start when the inform Simon Green curled over from distance. Drumsurn were not behind for long as Paul Butcher fired over a classy point on the angle.
