Our Intermediate team lost to St. Josephs 5-15 (30) to 3-10 (19) in the 9th Round of the Division 2 League on Saturday 25th June. In what was an up and down game of peaks and troughs the Barrs started brightly with a goal from Máirtín Murphy.  The Joes replied with 1-3 of their own befrore the Finbarrs fought back with some scores of their own.  Half time score:  Naomh Fionnbarra 1-4(7) St. Josephs 1-5(8).  The Joes launched out of the blocks in the second half and scored 2-4 without reply to take a commanding 12 point lead.  Back came the Togher men and scored 1-6 without reply, the goal a daisy cutter from Pádraic Murphy.  Some of the point scoring was excellent as the Barrs had the Dromiskin men under severe pressure with only 2 points betweekn the teams.  The Joes managed to relieve the onslaught with a goal on the counter attack and picked off some easy socres to coast to victory.  The Finbarrs grabbed a consolation goal from a Bernard Osborne penalty with the last kick of the game.  Full time score: Naomh Fionnbarra 3-10(19) St. Josephs 5-15(30).  Hard luck lads.
