County Intermediate Champions
County intermediate hurling final
Cappamore 2/18 Feohanagh 2-12
On historic day for Cappamore GAA we won the intermediate hurling championship for the 1st time.Its great to add the intermediate championship to the senior and junior titles that the club had won over our long proud history.
Under ideal conditions and fitting with the weekend that it is we got off to a nightmare start with Feohanagh in complete control and we found our selves trailing by 1-08 to 3 points With .Eamon Gleeson at centre back and Adam Coleman at wing forward taking control and a great save by Tommy Ryan we fought our way back into the game.A few critical positional changes by Liam and Tony worked well and all our players benefited from it and from then played the traditional Cappamore championship will to win way.Bill Creamer Con Berkery Tommy O Donoghue Joe Lonergan and Bubbles all firing over great points and on the stroke of half time Bubbles hit the back of the net to some how leave us 1-09 to 1-08 ahead at the interval. Feohanagh were rattled at this stage and as the players headed to the dressing rooms u could see there was only going to be one winner.
Cappamore started the second half with the intend of completing the task ,kept up their impressive work rate ,picked off some fine scores with Joe Lonergan very sharp from frees.As u would expect in a final Feohanagh kept fighting and got a goal to put then back in front but great credit goes to our boys they never panicked kept moving the ball fast and taking their scores when the opportunities arose. The crucial 2nd half score came when Tommy O Donoghue got a super goal and from here on we were in total control.Coleman O Donoghue Berkery Murphy and Lonergan all firing over points from play in the second half to give us a comprehensive win.
