The intermediate football championship got underway last weekend, and our men were in action against neighbours Castleconnor in Easkey in an all west division affair. We have not met each other for a considerable number of years in the championship, however in the last three games we have played against each other in the league and Benson Cup, we have managed to win two.

Having defeated Castleconnor four weeks ago in the league, we had a number of players back since then, including Declan Cawley and Bryan Jacob. Electing to play with the breeze, we settled well and went into a three points to one lead after fifteen minutes, Shane Hargadon and Brian Coleman on target early on. Declan Cawley also got his first championship point of the year in the opening period. However, Castleconnor were coping well and once they got their first goal after 18 minutes, they found their stride, and tagged on 1-4 before the interval, including a soft goal, to give them a 2-6 to 0-4 lead at the break.

In what was a very poor second half from both sides, Castleconnor added five points to their tally, while we could only manage a solitary point from a Shane Hargadon free. Despite this, we created three excellent goal opportunites, but two of these were scrambled off the line by a resolute Castleconnor rearguard. This was the only considerable action of the second half, and the when Malachy Maher blew the final whistle the scoreline read Enniscrone/Kilglass 0-5 Castleconnor 2-11. It was a very disappointing display and result, but the team now have three weeks to prepare for a crunch tie against St Farnans in the second round on the 16^th of June, which will more than likely be played in Easkey once more.

Enniscrone/Kilglass: K Mullaney, MJ Crean, K Caffrey, S Cawley, C Kavanagh, JP Carden, A Morrison,  B Byron, M Gordon, A Hargadon, E Gilroy, M Connolly, D Cawley(0-1), S Hargadon(0-3), B Coleman(0-1). Subs: C Mullaney, B Jacob, H Egan.       03/06/12

   Last weekend marked the start of the intermediate championship, and it was a game to forget for our men as they were defeated by local rivals Castleconnor on a scoreline of 2-11 to 0-5. However, there are three weeks to prepare for the next round against St Farnans. In the meantime, there is a very important league game away to St Michaels to negotiate this week, throw in is at 7 30 pm on Saturday evening .    27/05/12

Ciaran O'Dowd pulled a point back before they went five points in front. The team went twelve minutes without scoring before Ciaran O'Dowd produced another great point, followed by two points from Rian Grimes, a point from Robert Grimes and a goal from Brandan Fitzgerald to put them in a lead at the break by two points.

Bradley Nealon was superb in defence after a tactical change made early on in the game. Niall Carden and Eoghan Bourke played their part in keeping out an attacking Bunninadden team.
