East Intermediate Football Championship
Kilmacthomas 3-9 De La Salle 2-7
Our intermediate footballers lost their opening game of the new championship format when we went down to Kilmacthomas in Carrickbeg last Saturday. Kilmacthomas were the better team on the day but from our point of view it was a chance to blood some younger players with Evan Whelan, Sean Carton, Adam Deegan, Seaghan Walsh, James Stone making their debuts at this level and Donal Carey and Luke Flynn playing only their second game, there were positives for us from the game.
Despite us having first use of the wind, Kilmacthomas dominated the early exchanges and kicked several wides before we opened the scoring in ninth minute when Paddy Kennedy and Adam Deegan combined for John Mullane to finish low to the net. A foul on Seaghan Walsh saw Paddy Kennedy point a free in the 11th minute but we were rocked in the 17th minute when Kilmacthomas goaled. Points in the 27th and 28th minutes saw Kilmacthomas take the lead but good work by Thomas Kearney, John Mullane and Seaghan Walsh saw Paddy Kennedy point to make it 1-2 each at half time.
We got a great start to the second half when Stephen Dalton got inside the defence in the first minute but was dragged down and Paddy Kennedy crashed the resultant penalty to the roof of the net. Kilmacthomas were back on level terms later with a well worked goal three minutes later before Paddy Kennedy put us back in front in the sixth minute when he pointed a free after he was fouled himself. We then missed a great chance of another goal before Kilmacthomas took over and hit four unanswered points to lead 2-6 to 2-3 midway through the half. The introduction of Lee Hayes had an impact for us as he pointed in the 16th minute and three minutes late won a free which Paddy Kennedy converted to make it a one point game. However, that was as close as we came as Kilmacthomas added 1-3 between the 22nd and 28th minutes without reply. Credit to our lads they kept going to the end and we added late points from Kenneth Byrne and Stephen Dalton.
Scorers: Paddy Kennedy 1-4 (1-0 penalty, 0-3 frees), John Mullane 1-0, Lee Hayes, Kenneth Byrne and Stephen Dalton 0-1 each.
Panel: Donal Carey, Ryan Duke, Kenneth Byrne (captain), Luke Flynn, Evan Whelan, Stephen Dalton, David Kennedy, Sean Carton, Thomas Kearney, John Mullane, Adam Deegan, Donal Barron, Matthew Barden, Seaghan Walsh, Paddy Kennedy, Lee Hayes, James Stone, David Dennison.

Juvenile Report
It was an active week in the juvenile club with four games played during the week, split evenly between hurling and football. The week began with our U-11 hurling team making their competitive debut with a visit to Glenmore in the City League. This was a very competitive match with our opponents being a little more accurate in front of goal to record a victory for the home team. This was the first competitive action for a number of our players and they will benefit from the experience.
Our U-12 hurling team recorded a fine win over St. Mollerans in their division of City League.
In football our U-14 and U-16 teams saw action this week and both had fine victories over St. Mollerans. It seems to have been our week to play them.
Our U-16 team made it three wins in a row with a win in a very entertaining match in Gracedieu.Our
U-14 team also had a worthy win over the same opponents on Saturday. This was an excellent win against our very accomplished opponents who were missing a number of key players.
