St. John's go under to Enniscrone in Intermediate Championship

Our Intermediate team were beaten by Enniscrone/Kilglass in round 3 of Intermediate Championships on Sunday in Markievicz Park. St. John’s conceded two early goals in the game but came storming back with points from Robert Galvin, James Noonan, Rory Kerins, Mark Gerrity (2) and Brian Caffrey. Geoff Corcoran goaled at the end of a move that involved 7 players and left St. John’s just 1 point behind at half time.

Playing against a strong wind in the second half was always going to be a tough assignment and Enniscrone finished strongly to run out comfortable winners in the end.

Best for St. John’s were James Noonan, Paul McDonnell, Rory Kerins in defense while David Burke and captain Jamie Grehan in midfield tried hard and forwards Geoff Corcoran, Robbie Fahy & Mark Gerrity showed up well in attack.

Team on duty were: Ryan Blake, Alex Selby, Paul McDonnell, Terry Farrelly, Shane Kilcawley, Rory Kerins, Robert Fahy, David Burke, Paul McNamara, Robbie Galvin, James Noonan, Mark Gerrity, Bran Caffrey, Geoff Corcoran. Subs: Andrew Kerr, Conor Sweeney, Niall Rooney, Ray Henry & David Heffernan.

Congratulations also to  St. John's Cathal Jordan, Conor McGovern & Cameron Keaney who are members of the Sligo U-16 team that won the Shield final over Galway today in Ballyhaunis. A great win coming so soon after the County captured the Fr. Manning cup over Offaly in Longford last week.
