Aughnasheelin into provincial last eight

October 24, 2008
Aughnasheelin 0-11 St Molaise Gaels 0-6 After winning their first intermediate championship title a fortnight ago, Aughnasheelin are into the quarter-finals of the Connacht Intermediate Club Championships with their five-point win over St Molaise Gaels last Sunday at Markievicz Park. Liam Higgins' side worked tirelessly to hold a 0-7 to 0-2 advantage over the Sligo champions break, with scores from Damien Gilheaney, Niall Murray, Gavin Sammon and Fergal Early forging the five-point lead. It was the Leitrim champions who drew first blood after the restart through a Cathal Egan score, but a pair of scores from Martin Feeney kept the hosts in touch. An interception and point from Alan Carway had the gap cut down to three soon after, but Aughnasheelin took a grip on the game from there with a brace each from substitute Brendan Mulvey and Fergal Early pointing the Leitrim outfit into the quarter-finals of the province.
