INTERMEDIATE FOOTBALL CHAMPIONSHIP - FINAL ROUND Raheen Intermediate Footballers restored some pride with a deserved win over Kilcormac / Killoughey in the final round of the group stage of the Championship last Friday evening in Killurin on a scoreline of 1-12 to 2-06 which although too late to qualify for the quarter finals gives some confidence going into the upcoming relegation play-off. Raheen got off to a bad start as 2 mins in Kilcormac / Killoughey opened the scoring with a goal when a high ball in was caught by Daniel Currams in the clear on the edge of the square who ran in and fired his shot in the top corner of the net. Raheen although rattled dug in and got going and over the next 10 mins got off the mark with 7 points in a row. This was how it remained then until the 25th min when K/K put over their first point and just a min later K/K were awarded a penalty for a pull on the jersey which they struck to the left corner of the net. There were no further scores before the break which left the sides level at halftime 0-07 to 2-01. Raheen went back in front 2 mins into the second half with a pointed free from Patrick Rigney. From the resultant kickout the ball was won by Declan Byrne in midfield who laid it off to John Crombie to run down the wing and into the square where he passed it to Patrick Rigney in the clear who picked his spot and blasted it onto the net for a goal. K/K came back with 2 pointed 45’s before Raheen put over their next point from Mark Gorman midway through the half. The remainder of the game saw the sides exchange 3 more points apiece and so Raheen held on to claim the win. RAHEEN: Keith Kirwan, Brian Corcoran, Brian Kehoe, James Lalor, Brian Crombie, Liam Boland, Mikey Keogh, Mark Gorman (0-01), Padraig Bracken (0-01), Paddy Arnold (0-01), Declan Byrne, Niall Dempsey, Paddy Rigney (1-03), John Crombie (0-01), Richie Reynolds (0-04).
