Wins in Division 3 and 6

It was a good week results-wise for our men’s first and second teams.

On Thursday evening, our seconds opened their All-County Football League Division 6 campaign with an 8-14 to 0-13 win at home to Tyrrellspass.

Then, on Sunday morning, our intermediates made it three wins from five in Division 3 when they survived a late scare to overcome Maryland by 2-18 to 2-15 at a sun-splashed MJS Builds St James’s Park.

A brace of Darragh Coffey goals, including one on the stroke of half-time, helped us to a 2-9 to 0-9 interval lead. We dominated the third quarter to extend our advantage to 2-17 to 0-11 thanks to a flurry of scores from Padraig Carton, Niall Carey, Ray Kennedy, Mark Wrafter, Conor Delaney and Darragh Coffey.

But two quickfire Maryland goals - the first coming from a 20-metre free - after we were reduced to 14 players for the last 10 minutes made for a nervy finish. Our next outing is away to Bunbrosna on the weekend after next.
