Replying To veterngaa:  "Well Scotstowns management team consists of Diarmuid Scullion( all Ireland minor winning coach and former Westmeath coach and now Cavan coach ), Donal Morgan ( former Co player and many co medals), Fergus Caulfield (nothing to be said ) and Kevin O'Brien ( former corofin manager)

You reckon they wouldn't get them going ?"
Not sure what you mean by "Get them going"?Winning titles? Point was,regardless of who takes over if there aren't enough players of required standard and mentality at their disposal it doesn't matter who is managing/coaching. Coaches and managers know that too. Only time a coach from a higher level moves to a Junior team is when they are taking a team that is a near certainty to win something ie relegated or have come very close the previous year.

Excellent entertainment in the Intermediate final this evening. Killanny were in truth outclassed all game, but through sheer doggedness they were still in the mix coming down the stretch. They really needed a second half goal to rattle Carrickmacross, but the Emmets defence stood up when needed.
Carrick themselves missed a glut of chances midway through the second half which should have killed the game. It took a breakaway goal to do just that. Maguire, Lynch and young Carolan were very good for Carrick, so too McMenamin. OHanlon had a good enough game without being outstanding, he did nail a crucial momentum- swinging score late on. On the Killanny side, Eddie Walsh hit a few scores without cutting loose, while Dean Connolly was much quieter than expected. Ronan Grimes not starting was a big blow for Killanny. Their big physical players will be disappointed to have come off second best around the middle.
The scenes near the end were poor form, 4 or 5 red cards shown, proper order given the incidents. It ended amicably all the same.
