Tyholland in this very entertaining and at times exciting intermediate football championship final that was played in difficult conditions in Clontibret yesterday afternoon. At the end of a close first half during which the sides were level on seven occasions Truagh edged in front in stoppage time with a point from a free by Daniel McKenna to leave the half-time score Truagh 0-8 Tyholland 0-7. Truagh put in a good start to the second-half and by the seventh minute they had extended their lead to three points with the best Tyholland could achieve thereafter was getting it back to a two points margin three times with Truagh always able to respond any time Tyholland threatened and they closed the game out with a point by Paudie McKenna to leave three in it at the finish.
