Ladies: Despite an impressive second-half performance, the St. Francis Ladies bowed out of the AIB Connacht Club Intermediate Championship in Drumshanbo last Sunday. This game was won and lost in the first-half when the Galway champions, Annaghdown, built up a good lead despite playing against a strong breeze. Their forwards were very accurate in front of the posts with an early goal and some well-taken points. Our forwards, on the other hand, just couldn’t shake off a tight-marking defence and the Galway side entered the half-time break with a 1-08 to 0-02 lead. However, it was a very different story in the second half when the St. Francis forwards rocked the Galway champions with two early goals. In fact, the home side outscored their opponents in the second half by 2-03 to 0-02. It was a powerful second-half performance by the Leitrim champions as they harried and hassled and showed incredible fitness levels in an all-out effort to pull back that big first-half lead. They did very well to reduce the gap to two points and the Annaghdown girls were more than happy to hear the final whistle. Final score was St. Francis 2-05, Annaghdown 1-10.
Intermediate Final: Allen Gaels supporters stood in stunned silence and disbelief after referee Eamonn Dolan blew the full-time whistle in the Smith Monumentals Intermediate Championship Final in Ballinamore last Sunday afternoon. With Allen Gaels in total control after an outstanding second half performance and leading by eight points, with time almost up, Melvin Gaels somehow managed to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat in a truly unbelievable finish. Even the most ardent Melvin Gaels supporters could not believe what unfolded before them as the game entered its final stages. What followed in those dying minutes was the stuff of dreams or the stuff of nightmares, depending on your allegiance, as the North Leitrim side struck for three goals in the space of six incredible minutes. Allen Gaels opened the scoring in a closely contested first half and led for the entire game until those final crazy minutes. The Drumshanbo side took a two-point lead into the half-time break (0-07 to 0-05,) but really cut loose in the second half as the full-forward line wreaked havoc. Two early goals from Ciarán McMorrow and two classy points from Ciarán Walsh gave Allen Gaels what looked like an unassailable ten-point lead midway through the second period. The game seemed to be petering out to a predictable conclusion until the last minute of normal time when the Kinlough side struck for what looked like a consolation goal. They then sensed that all was not lost and two further injury-time goals saw them across the line by the narrowest of margins. The final score-line was Allen Gaels 2-10, Melvin Gaels 3-08. The club extends its sincere thanks to the team and management for the incredible efforts they put in all year. Treise libh.
