East Intermediate Football Quarter Final 

De La Salle 0-16 Kilmacthomas 1-11 (after extra time)

Our intermediate footballers qualified for the semi final with a hard fought extra time victory over Kilmacthomas in Carrickbeg last Friday night. It was a game in which both teams battled to the end but our performance in the first half of extra time was the winning of the game and we were able to hold out when Kilmacthomas rallied in the second half.

Kilmacthomas opened well scoring two points inside the first three minutes. Joey Twomey opened our account in the fifth minute but Kilmacthomas added further points in the 10th and 14th minutes. Three points from Lee Hayes, Kenneth Byrne and Mitchell Casey between the 21st and 25th minutes levelled matters. Kilmacthomas pointed in the 27th minute but two points from Lee Hayes had us ahead 0-6 to 0-5 at the interval. The second half began with Kilmacthomas converting a penalty in the third minute. Points by Colm Morris in the fifth minute and Joey Twomey in the sixth minute made it all square. We missed a great opportunity in the ninth minute when Lee Hayes was fouled but the KIlmacthomas keeper saved Colm Morris’s penalty. The next score came in the 23rd minute when minor Eoin McGrath-Butler pointed but Kilmacthomas pointed a free in the 25th minute. Another free in the 30th minute put Kilmacthomas ahead but a superb injury time equaliser in the 31st minute from Colm Morris ensured extra time. We began extra time well with Eoin McGrath-Butler pointing from the throw in. Adam O’Sullivan and Eoin McGrath-Butler added further points by the third minute. Kilmacthomas pointed in the fourth minute but two frees from Lee Hayes and a point from Adam O’Sullivan had us ahead 0-16 to 1-8 at half time. Kilmacthomas resumed strongly and pointed three times by the fourth minute. However, there was no further score and we held out for a deserved win.

Scorers: Lee Hayes 0-5 (0-2 frees), Eoin McGrath-Butler 0-3, Joey Twomey, Colm Morris and Adam O’Sullivan 0-2 each, Kenneth Byrne and Mitchell Casey 0-1 each.
