Our Intermediate footballers bowed out of this year's championsip in glory as they scored a 3-7 to 0-12 win over last years Junior Champions, Mountcollins last Sunday evening in Newcastle West. Aaron Costelloe converted two second half penalties to secure the victory but unfortunately, Mungret eased past us into the quarter finals because despite finishing level on points and with a better score difference, Mungret beat us in the head to head. The earlier narrow losses to Cappamore and Mungret cost us dearly. It was great to see Eoin Hogan making a return to football last Sunday evening after a very length lay off.
