Intermediate Football Championship

The senior team just about got over the line on Saturday past, as they beat Harlesden by the smallest of margins. The Joe’s were comfortable with the wind at their back during the first half with a 4 point lead established at half time. This was courtesy of scores from Thomas Faye, Ciaran Flanagan, Stephen Bardon and Diarmuid O’Sullivan – Thomas Stenson almost getting on the scoresheet (unfortunately for him it went the wrong side of the post), this alone illustrating the Joes dominance in the opening period. 

From here on in it was a battle! With the wind picking up in the second half it was backs against the wall stuff with Harlesden starting to chip away at the Joes lead. Nevertheless with a lot of grit and determination the Joes held on to win by a single point. Final score 1-07 to 0-09

Scorers on the day were Thomas Stenson 0-0, Stephen Bardon 0-1, Tomas Faye 0-3, Ciaran Flanagan 0-2, Eamonn McGovern 0-1, Diarmuid O’Sullivan 1-0.
