Kennedy Intermediate Championship Final -- St Johns 1 – 9,  St Farnans 1 – 9

After over an hours football in the Kennedy Intermediate final on Sunday our lads finished level with St Farnans at 1 – 9 each. This was a game we could have lost but also could have won and in the end a draw would seem to be a fair result as neither side deserved to lose. Both teams were very slow to settle and the first half was full of errors with numerous turnovers and lots of loose passing and poor shooting resulting in the half time score of 3 points each. St Farnans got off to the better start in the second half and got into a four point lead thanks to a lucky goal but our lads woke up and levelled the score with a fine solo effort from Fiachra Grennan who worked his way in from the left to slot home St Johns goal which followed a pointed Alan Keane free. From there on the teams traded point for point and with St Farnans one point ahead a David Rooney shot from a narrow angle sailed over the bar to level matters and on the kickout referee John Gilmartin blew his final whistle. The replay will take place next weekend as the winners have to take on the Leitrim champions on Sunday Oct 22^nd in the Connacht Intermediate quarter final. A big thanks to the many St Johns supporters who turned out in such large numbers to cheer on the team and we hope you will come out again next weekend for the replay which will be at 4.00 on Sunday in the Markievicz Park.   So onwards once more into the breech !!
