Mc Elvaney’s Waste & Recycling Intermediate Championship Round 2:

Sun drenched Corduff was the venue last Sunday afternoon for the third round of the Intermediate Championship which was played in ideal conditions. Corduff entered this match coming off a good win over Blackhill in the first round and a draw the previous weekend in Currin. However for the second consecutive week it took a last gasp score deep in injury time to draw level with Cremartin. The first quarter was a nip and tuck affair with good defending by Corduff at one end while scores from Feargal Hanratty, Gavin Mc Enaney and Jason Hand put the sides level at 0-4 each by the first water break. Cremartin’s marksmen, in particular Paddy McNally proved to be a thorn in Corduff’s side holding the hosts scoreless between the first water break and half time as Cremartin took control going ahead on a scoreline of 0-8 to 0-4 at the interval. The second half continued in the same fashion with Cremartin ahead by 4 at the 2nd water break 0-9 to 0-5. It looked as if the game was slipping away from Corduff when a spirited final quarter performance led by captain Pádraic Keenan brought them right back into contention. Having emptied the bench Corduff narrowed the margin as Gavin,Feargal,Jason and substitute Brendan McNally reduced the difference to a point. The final score of the match by Brendan levelled matters on 0-11 each deep in injury time. Based on that result Corduff maintain the top of the table position with one match left which is this Saturday away to Éire. We wish the team, Brendan and his backroom team good luck on Saturday in Smithborough. Throw-in at 4pm.
