On a sun-baked Sunday afternoon in Greenford, Éire Óg’s bid for Intermediate Championship glory ended at the hands of a well drilled Thomas McCurtains’ outfit.
Despite Éire Óg playing the better football in the first half, a somewhat fortuitous goal by McCurtains coupled with a harsh black card to marksman John Coyle left the game all square at half-time.
Éire Óg 0-4 – Thomas McCurtains’ 1-1.
The second half started evenly & although involved in some good passages of play, Éire Óg struggled to make this count on the scoreboard. Then McCurtains rose into the ascendancy & a couple of consecutive points mid-way through the period saw them develop a four-point lead that wasn’t relinquished.
It finished Éire Óg 0-7 – Thomas McCurtains’ 1-8.
On the day a gallant effort by the Éire Óg men who gave it their all in hot & challenging conditions. Some noteworthy performances by sweeper John Whyte & the ever-consistent Pat Tobin coupled with sharp shooting from placed balls by Gabriel Dennehy.
