Intermediate Championship 

We had a good hard-fought win over Ballymore last Sunday in the championship. The final score was 2-7 to 1-6. We led at half-time 1-4 to 0-1, with the goal coming from Cian Cassidy just before the whistle. Paddy Collum had earlier brilliantly saved a penalty. Ballymore came back in the second half and reduced the margin to a point with time running out. Pauric Gill finished to the net after Cian Cassidy cut through and squared the ball and the same players combined for a point shortly after to secure a very important win. Team and scorers: Paddy Collum, Paul McGee, Darren Reilly, Aaron Quinn, Kaelum Gill, JP Farley, Dean Cosgrave, Mark Breslin, Sean Whelan, Jamie Nertney (0-1), Cathal Quinn (0-1), Mark Hughes, Cian Cassidy (1-3), Pauric Gill (1-0), Conor Keenan (0-2). Subs: Cian Brady, David Collum. The next round is this Sunday against Ardagh Moydow in Michael Fay Park at 4pm. Best of luck to the team and management.  

Junior B Championship 

The Junior B championship got underway last Friday evening in Monaduff against Granard. Unfortunately, we were beaten 2-9 to 1-7. Team and scorers: Cody Lee, Sean McKenna, Declan Donnelly, David McKenna, Tom McGee (0-1), Darren Farley, Caelum McGee, Jim Rogers (0-1), Kevin Whitney, Christopher Crowe (0-3, 1f), Rokas Stoskus, Orrin Greene (0-1), Sean Hourican (0-1), James McCann, Jack Nertney (1-0).
