Last Saturday evening in Cloonacool in the Intermediate Championship quarter final Ballymote met Enniscrone/kilglass. Nothing can separate these teams as a replay is needed to decide who will play Shamrock Gaels in semi-final. Low scoring dominated first half and it ended with a score line 0-2 0-3 in favour of Enniscrone/Kilglass. Ballymote lost Niall Colsh after 25 mins to a serious hamstring injury and we wish Niall well in his recovery. Second half Enniscrone/Kilglass started of brightly scoring 3 unanswered points before Stephen Ross got Ballymote first point of the second half. Jack Hever was introduced who scored 2 long distanced points, this kick-started Ballymote’s revival. Superb points from Michael Doddy, Gerry Brennan and Peter Lyons brought Ballymote level with Enniscrone/Kilglass. Ballymote’s final score from Oisin Conlon from 50 meters gave Ballymote the advantage but Enniscrone/Kilglass got the final score drawing this game 0-10 each. Replay is next Sunday in Tubbercurry at 2pm. Team M Flannery, K Meehan, P Mullan, C McCann, M Healy, R Flannery (J Hever 0-2), O Conlon 0-1, M Rafferty, M Doddy 0-2, S Langton, N Colsh ( A Cafferty BC (D Clarke), S Ross 0-3, G Brennan 0-1, M Irwin (P Lyons 0-1), N Brennan. Support for Ballymote was great and it’s needed again next Sunday.
