Intermediate Championship
We had a good win in the championship on Sunday afternoon last over Ardagh Moydow in Michael Fay Park. The full-time score was 2-15 to 1-9. We got off to the perfect start when a high ball went in on top of Seán Whelan who broke the ball to the oncoming Conor Keenan, who was outstanding, to palm to the net. Jamie Nertney followed this up with a converted free for a foul on Pauric Gill and more scores came from Gill, Nertney, Cian Cassidy, Conor Keenan, Aaron Quinn and an excellent left footed effort from Seán Whelan. Just before the short whistle Cian Cassidy worked his way round the defence after a terrific long ball from Paddy Collum and was hauled down for a penalty, which Collum dispatched. The half time score was 2-8 to 0-4. Ardagh Moydow came back into the game in the second half when they converted a penalty but Jamie Nertney responded, converting some excellent frees for fouls on Dean Cosgrave, Aaron Quinn and Conor Keenan as well as firing over a wonderful effort from play off his left. The remaining scores came from Gill and Keenan as Gaels maintained a commanding lead throughout. Team and scorers were as follows: Paddy Collum (1-0, pen), Paul McGee, Cian Brady, Darren Reilly, Dean Cosgrave, JP Farley, Aaron Quinn (0-1), Seán Whelan, Mark Breslin, David Collum, Conor Keenan (1-3), Kaelum Gill, Jamie Nertney (0-6, 5f), Cian Cassidy (0-1), Pauric Gill (0-2). Subs: Mark Hughes, Martin Cassidy, Ryan Crowe. It was great to see all the lads out afterwards celebrating Cian Brady’s 21st!
