Group 2: St Kevins 4-9 Glen Emmets 3-8, Kilkerley Emmets/Naomh Malachi 4-21 HALF-BACK Oisin McGee was the unlikely scoring hero in The Grove on Sunday afternoon as Naomh Fionnbarra scored twice deep in added time to snatch victory over Division 2 leaders St Bride’s in a scrappy IFC quarter-final.

Grit, determinat­ion and a neversay-die attitude were key to the Togher side’s comeback and the single-point win sends them into the Intermedia­te semis for the first time since 2004.

St Bride’s opened the scoring in the third minute with a well taken point from Sean Brennan, but from the resulting play the Barrs got the game’s first goal when Jack Butterly made no mistake Under-13 FL

The Knockbridg­e outfit levelled matters by the seventh minute, with scores coming from Aaron Hoey and Brennan again, before a brace of well taken points from tight angles by William Woods edged his side ahead.

The topsy-turvy nature of this tie continued as St Bride’s got their first goal of the game on 18 minutes. This occurred when a

Division 2 FL long-range effort from Aaron Hoey appeared to be travelling over the crossbar, only to drop into the net and put the Knockbridg­e outfit in the lead again. The same player followed up with a pointed free.

Woods slotted over on 23 minutes, but this score concluded the Togher men’s scoring for the half and just below the interval Sean Marry dissected the uprights before Kevin Hearty found the net after he finished a great move by his teammates.

This left St Bride’s well in the driving seat, going in at half-time with a five point cushion. 2-5 to 1-3.
