Intermediate Championship
Well done to the team and management on a hard-fought 1-7 to 0-9 win over Cashel last Friday. Gaels led 1-4 to 0-3 at half-time with the goal coming from a fortuitous dropping shot from Conor Keenan. Cashel led early on but Gaels equalised with a free from Jamie Nertney for a foul on Pauric Gill after great work from Cian Cassidy to keep the ball in play. Keenan and Gill fired over points before Nertney struck another free for a foul on Gill and then Keenan got the all-important score. Gaels were unlucky not to score a goal at the start when Sean Whelan’s palmed effort from a Gill centre was very harshly adjudged to have been in the square. The start of the second half was dominated by Cashel and we failed to register a point until midway through the half when Conor Keenan was fouled and Nertney converted the free. Cashel brought the game back level in the closing stages and the very accurate Nertney came to the rescue with two late converted frees for fouls on Gill. The team and scorers were as follows: Paddy Collum, Paul McGee, Darren Reilly, Aaron Quinn, Mark Hughes, JP Farley, Dean Cosgrave, Mark Breslin, Sean Whelan, David Collum, Conor Keenan (0-1), Jamie Nertney (0-5, 4f), Cian Cassidy, Martin Cassidy, Pauric Gill (0-1). Subs: Cathal Quinn, Kaelum Gill. The championship resumes tomorrow Thursday when we play Ballymahon at 8pm in Newtownforbes. Best of luck to the team and management
