Wednesday saw our senior men's team journey up to Greenford to take on St Brendan's in the intermediate league. With both teams safe from relegation and neither having a prospect of getting promotion, the game was an opportunity to for prepare for the upcoming championship campaign.

The Harps started brightly and were first to get off the mark with a well worked point from Tim Russell.  However Brendan's started to assert their dominance on the game and the lads found themselves to be three points down in the first quarter of the game. To the lad's credit, the blues rallied towards the end of the half and managed to pull the score back to just one point between the teams going into the break with the scores at 0-07 to 0-06.

The second half continued in a similar fashion to the first with both teams trading early points. However as the old cliché goes, "goals win matches" and Brendan's cutting edge in attack proved to be the difference between the teams.

Again to the Harps credit, they battled back after each goal and had they been more clinical in front of goal they could have rescued something from the game.

Nonetheless, it was a solid performance from the lads and gives them a good platform to build on for the upcoming championship game against St Claret's on Sunday at 2:00pm in Greenford.

Training continues for the lads and we are always on the lookout for more prospective players.  For more information please contact Enda on 07522 723765.
