Match Reports
Out Intermediate footballers closed out their League campaign this week with 2 matches, first up was a home game against a strong Galbally side who were top of the table coming into this game and who we have met on a number of occasions over the last few years in championship. This was a fine performance from our lads who showed huge improvement from previous games and took the game to Galbally for the full 60 Mins. While we ended in defeat, great pride and learnings were taken from the game which ended on a score line of 3-07 to 1-08.
Then on Saturday we welcomed Pallasgreen to Crecora and started out very strong with 1-03 to no score on the board after 15 mins. Pallasgreen then took control of the game putting up the next 9 scores without reply – we rallied well in the closing stages but could not bridge the gap. Great credit to the 16 players who togged out, especially the dual players who played their 3rd full game in the space of 7 days. The game finished on a scoreline of 1-07 to 2-11.
Our focus now turns to championship with our first game at the end of June. Best wishes to Richard on a speedy recovery from a knee injury. Squad for the 2 games as follows – Shane O’Connell, Darach Scelly, Rory Hannon, Paddy Gardner, Tim Moloney, Francis McAuliffe, Evan Moloney, Cormac Flana-gan, Con Kirby, Cathal Monaghan, Ciaran Cusack, Donnacha Connolly, Sam Riordan, Mike McCor-mack, Richard Murphy, Eoghan Quinn, Conor Kirby, Colm Cassidy, David Macken, Damien Kearney. Thanks also to the coaches and selectors and our physio!.
