East Intermediate Football Championship
Kill 5-13 De La Salle 1-11
Our poor season at intermediate football continued last Saturday in Dunhill when our understrength team were well beaten by Kill. The damage was done in the first half when our inexperienced back line was constantly breached and we trailed 3-9 to 0-5 at the break. It got worse when we conceded 1-3 after the restart but credit to our players they dug in and gave a vastly improved performance for the rest of the half.
Kill began well and had 1-2 on the board by the seventh minute. John Mullane opened our account in the tenth minute. There followed an exchange of point involving a Mitchell Casey free after John Mullane was fouled before Kill hit 1-3 between the 14th and 17th minutes to lead 2-6 to 0-2. John Mullane pointed in the 18th minute but Kill replied immediately. A double exchange of points involved two Mitchell Casey frees after fouls on Lee Hayes and Jack Hannon before Kill struck for a third goal in the 27th minute to lead 3-9 to 0-5. It could have got worse before the break when they were awarded a penalty but David Dennison saved superbly.
The second half began with Kill adding 1-3 to their tally by the eight minute to make it 4-12 to 0-5. Points from Donal Barron and Mitchell Casey reduced the arrears before Kill got their fifth goal in the 17th minute. We added points from minor debutant Jack Hannon and Mitchell Casey before Mitchell Casey goaled in the 21st minute to make it 5-12 to 1-9. Kill pointed before we lost to John Mullane to injury and we scored late points by Lee Hayes and Sean Carton. Just before the end we almost got in for a second goal after a good move when Stephen Dalton got a touch ahead of the goalkeeper but it went narrowly wide.
Scorers: Mitchell Casey 1-5 (0-5 frees), John Mullane 0-2, Donal Barron, Jack Hannon, Lee Hayes and Sean Carton 0-1 each.
