Intermediate Championship
The championship got off to a disappointing start on Friday evening last when we were defeated by Killashee 2-10 to 1-11. The team raced into a 0-6 to 0-1 lead after 15 minutes but it was all Killashee after that, and they kicked 1-7 without reply to lead 1-8 to 0-6 at the break. The second half was a different game and Gaels immediately responded with a Pauric Gill goal after a neat one-two with Conor Keenan. With Sean Whelan in great form in midfield Gaels eventually went two points clear, before conceding a sloppy goal with ten to go. Gaels kept trying for the equaliser and one last effort dropped short from which Killashee countered for the insurance point. The next outing is Sunday week against Ballymore. Team and scorers were as follows: Paddy Collum, Cian Brady, JP Farley, Paul McGee, Dean Cosgrave, Darren Reilly, Kaelum Gill, Sean Whelan, Mark Breslin, Jamie Nertney (0-2), Fergal Reilly, Conor Keenan (0-2), Martin Cassidy (0-3, 1f), Pauric Gill (1-2), Cian Cassidy (0-2). Subs: Mark Hughes, Aaron Quinn, Cathal Quinn. The Division 5 team received the points from Mostrim on Wednesday evening last.

Patsy Reilly Cup
On Sunday afternoon last we were defeated in the league semi-final by Sean Connollys, 2-14 to 1-9. Gaels started brightly with a couple of excellent scores from Sean Whelan, after a neat Cian Cassidy pass and a Conor Keenan score before Cian Brady had to retire with a nasty head injury. His replacement Aaron Quinn made an immediate impact as he powered through for a fine point after being placed by Pauric Gill to leave scores 0-3 apiece midway through the first half. It was all Connollys after this however and they led 0-9 to 0-3 at the break. We got ourselves back into the match when Paddy Collum converted a penalty after Gill was brought down and the latter then missed a goal chance to level proceedings. Keenan fired over a couple more excellent points to keep Gaels in contention but the concession of two goals in the space of a minute with ten minutes left saw Connollys hold an unassailable lead. Cassidy rounded off the Gaels scoring from frees for fouls on himself and Gill. We wish Cian Brady a speedy recovery from the head injury he sustained in the early stages of the game.Team and scorers were as follows: Paddy Collum (1-0, pen), Sean McKenna, Cian Brady, Paul McGee, Dean Cosgrave, Darren Reilly, JP Farley, Mark Hughes, Sean Whelan (0-1), Caelum McGee, Ryan Crowe, Tom McGee, Cian Cassidy (0-3, 2f), Pauric Gill (0-1), Conor Keenan (0-3). Subs: Aaron Quinn (0-1), Kevin Whelan, Kevin Whitney, Orrin Greene.
