INTERMEDIATE CHAMPIONSHIP

John Mitchels 1-16 Skellig Rangers 1-12

We came out winners on Saturday evening in a hard fought contest with Skellig Rangers.
The first half was an even affair and points from Jamie Moriarty, two from play and one from a free had us three points in front after 20 minutes.

Rangers replied with two points from Ciaran Keating. Alan O’Donoghue scored two fine points from play and Brian Hickey added another for Rangers to leave the half time score John Mitchels 0-5 Skellig Rangers 0-3.

The second half was more intense which saw Rangers receive three yellow cards. It was point for point with Jamie Moriarty adding four and Wayne Conway one for John Mitchels. Ciaran Keating (3), Aiden o’Sullivan (1), Brian Hickey (2) and Sean Courtney (1) for S.Rangers had them ahead and the game into injury time.

We were awarded a free and from 50 yards Jamie Moriarty put the ball over the black spot to level the match and bring it to extra time. The first half of extra time saw Skellig score 1-1, the goal coming from Bernard Walsh and the point by Ciaran Keating.

In the final ten minutes our fitness showed and we went on to score 1-6 to Skellig’s 1 point. Our scores coming from Wayne Conway (1), Alan O’ Donoghue (1), Jamie Moriarty (2), and Shane O’Connor (1).

Brian Hickey kicked another for S. Rangers but we came out winners in the end by 4 points. There were a lot of players on both sides who might have deserved man of the match but Jamie Moriarty with a tally of 10 points and under pressure for a lot of them showed his metal to deserve the man of the match.

We are now away to the winners of Ardfert or St. Marys in Round 2.
