Intermediate Championship

Our intermediate team travelled to Cornageeha on Saturday evening last in the second round of the championship. In a tight battle, Gortletteragh took the early initiative but a well converted penalty from Conor Reynolds gave the Bors a two point lead half way through the first period. Gortletteragh again asserted their control however and finished the half much the stronger of the sides, outscoring the Bors by 0-9 to 0-1 in the second quarter to lead 1-12 to 1-6 at half time.  Credit to Bornacoola, they refused to lie down and fought valiantly throughout the second period to claw back the Gorletteragh lead reducing it to just two points by the end of the third quarter. However despite their best attempts, it was the home side who kept their noses in front from there to the finish line to seal a 1-18 to 1-14 victory. Next up is another local derby this Saturday when we face Annaduff in Mohill at 6.30pm.

Our second team got their Junior Championship campaign underway when they faced Annaduff on Sunday morning last in Eslin.
