Intermediate Championship

Our intermediate team finished off their group stage programme with a fine win over Dramahair in Kilglass on Sunday last. The Bors were quickest out of the traps and an early goal from Conor Reynolds put them eight points in front with only ten minutes gone. The visitors slowly made their way into the game and by half time had halved the deficit as the Bors went to the dressing rooms 1-8 to 0-7 to the good. An early second half goal from Shane Mallon would prove to be the decisive score of the game  and although the North Leitrim men fought back strongly, scoring two goals of their own, the Bors held on to secure a quarter final meeting with Melvin Gaels next weekend and in so doing secured their Intermediate status for another year on a 2-15 to 2-14 scoreline. Team on duty was Danny Farrell, Brian Duffy, Jake Shiels, Keelan Lyons, Sean O Riordan, Kevin Mulligan, Allan Croghan, Damian Moran, Liam Jones, Kian Mc Cormack, Anthony Mulligan, Shane Mallon, Ronan Mulligan, Robert O Beirne and Conor Reynolds. Subs used were Cian Mallon, David Mulligan, Sean Mc Keon, Jonathan Boyle, Mervyn Howard. The lads now take on Melvin Gaels in the quarter final this Sunday in Páirc Seán at 4pm and the game will be streamed live on www.leitrimgaa.ie.
