Intermediate Championship
Well done to Fintan and the lads who came away from Colmcille with a hard fought two-point win over Sean Connolly’s 1-11 to 0-12. We trailed by a point at half time 0-6 to 0-5 which could have been more were it not for a wonderful save by Paddy Collum on Dessie Reynolds, coupled with some good defending by both lines. Martin Cassidy got the opening score after he jinxed his way around a few defenders and the same player later converted a free for a foul on Pauric Gill. Gill and Cassidy combined to set up Conor Keenan for a well struck point and Keenan fired over another from distance. Paddy Collum converted a ‘45’ to ease some pressure from further up the pitch. We fell further behind on the resumption but with David Collum and Liam Lynch winning ball at midfield we started to get back into the game and Pauric Gill ran through for a point for our first score of the half and then the lively Cian Cassidy struck the leveller. The crucial score of the game came midway through the second half when the hard-working Emmet Noonan burst his way through after receiving the ball from Philip Kane, and he found man of the match Conor Keenan at the edge of the square who made no mistake. Keenan extended our lead to 4 soon after but back came the Connolly’s to draw the match before the Cassidy lads kicked on two winning scores. The next outing is Sunday, August 21st at 1.30pm in The Laurels against Legan Sarsfields. The team and scorers were as follows: Paddy Collum (0-1, ‘45’), Paul McGee, Cian Brady, JP Farley, Mark Hughes, Gary Connell, Emmet Noonan, David Collum, Liam Lynch, Sean Whelan, Conor Keenan (1-3), Pauric Gill (0-1), Podge Gill, Martin Cassidy (0-4,2f). Subs used: Philip Kane, Cian Cassidy (0-2)
Junior Championship
Our Junior C team earned a 2-7 to 0-13 draw against Cashel last Thursday. Declan Donnelly fisted a great goal to the back of the net with the last play of the game. Brendan McCann had earlier slotted a wonderful goal to get us back into the match. It was great to welcome back Padraig O’Neill to the maroon and gold after a long number of years away The team and scorers were as follows: Graham Lee, Anthony McKeon, Derek McKeon, James O’Neill, Gerard McKenna (0-2), Declan Donnelly (1-0), David McKenna, Gearoid Nertney (0-1), Ciaran Cooney, Darren Cawley (0-1), Mike Mulleady, Tyrone Crowe (0-1,1f), David Taylor, Paul Donnelly (0-1), Gabriel Higgins (0-1). Subs: Luca O’Reilly, Brendan McCann (1-0), Darren Smith, Padraig O’Neill, Gareth Donnelly. The next match is tomorrow Thursday, August 11th against Kenagh in McGann Park.

Intermediate Championship
We got the Intermediate championship campaign off to a winning start last Saturday in difficult greasy conditions in the splendid Dunbeggan grounds against Ardagh/Moydow on a scoreline of 2-18 to 2-12. We got off to a flying start with 4 points in quick succession but Ardagh came back with three on the trot to leave just one in it but two further points left it 0-6 to 0-3 in our favour before Ardagh struck for a goal to level proceedings. Pauric Gill quickly re-established a lead which we did not lose from there and then Liam Lynch slapped a goal after a wonderful pass from captain Emmet Noonan to put some breathing space between the sides. Half time score was 1-11 to 1-6. The second half started sluggishly and we were punished with the concession of an unfortunate goal when a ball spun to an unmarked player after Noonan made an excellent block, but the team rallied and made victory secure after a well-placed Martin Cassidy goal in the 53rd minute. There should have been more goals as Gill and the two Cassidys all hit the crossbar in that intervening period but nonetheless the team held on for the win so well done lads. The next outing is this Friday, August 5th at 8pm in Fr. McGee Park against Sean Connolly’s. The team and scorers were as follows: Paddy Collum, Paul McGee, Cian Brady, JP Farley, Mark Hughes (0-1), Gary Connell, Emmet Noonan, David Collum, Liam Lynch (1-0), Sean Whelan, Conor Keenan (0-3), Pauric Gill (0-6), Jamie Nertney (0-1), Podge Gill, Martin Cassidy (1-5,3f). Subs used: Philip Kane (0-1), Cian Cassidy (0-1), Aiden Gray
