The intermediate team played out a 1-10 to 0-13 draw with Shamrock Gaels in the semi-final of the Intermediate Championship at Bunninadden last Sunday afternoon. In another dramatic contest, Mark Gordon’s first half goal helped us level matters by the interval, 1-4 to 0-7, after Shamrock Gaels established an early lead.
