MC ELVANNEY'S WASTE AND RECYCLING INTERMEDIATE FOOTBALL CHAMPIONSHIP

Aughnamullen 2-13

Currin 0-15

Aughnamullen staged a strong finish to come from being 2 points in arrears with 14 minutes of normal time remaining to win by 4 and get their championship aspirations back on track as well as ending Currin's interest in this year's series.

Played in blustery and somewhat greasy conditions in Drumhowan, this was a pairing that produced a very entertaining match with some fine individual displays, notably Micheal Bannigan and Pete Dooney for the winners as well Stephen Smith and Jack McCarron for Currin.

Aughnamullen led at half-time by 4 points, but Currin staged a strong start to the second-half to outscore them by 7 points to 2 in the 3rd quarter to open a 2 points lead. Aughnamullen rallied though, kick started by a goal from Shane Forde and they went on to regain control and clinch victory.
