Last Friday St Mullins played the first round of the intermediate football championship against Fighting Cocks in Eire Og. St Mullins started well by opening the scoring with a Walter Coady point but faded for the next twenty minutes where Fighting Cocks played good running football and notched up 1-4. St Mullins came alive again and after some good work down the right wing, Sean Gahan broke into the box and won a penalty. This was well finished by Willie Foley who also added a point from a free before half time. Fighting Cocks added two more points to lead at the break 1-6 to 1-2. St Mullins began the second half well with a point each from Walter Coady and Seamus Murphy before Michael Kehoe scored an excellent goal. This left St Mullins a point up but Fighting Cocks responded with three more points. Declan Murphy and Michael Kehoe added a point each to leave the game level but victory was not to be ours on the day as Fighting Cocks finished very strong winning on a final scoreline 1-12 to 2-6. Team: Cian Doyle, Thomas Coady, John Kennedy, John Murphy, Darren Whelan, Paul Kehoe, Paul Murphy, John Murphy, Tom Doyle, Seamus Murphy 0-1, Declan Murphy 0-1, Sean Gahan, Michael Kehoe1-1, Walter Coady 0-2, Willie Foley 1-1(0-1 free, 1-0 pen).

St Mullins played some good football in this game but like the previous few league games seemed to collapse as victory came within their grasp. Fixtures for the coming week.
