INTERMEDIATE HURLING: Our Intermediate Hurlers contuined their build up to the next championship game with a challenge game against De La Salle last Tuesday night and ran out winners on a scoreline of 1-22 to 1-14. The key to this victory was the bright start made by the team, with a good work ethic resulting in some excellent scores during the first half, in we lead by 1-13 to -8pts. Shne Flynn getting the vital goal, with points contributed by Damien Walsh, Paul Martin, James Murphy, Brendan O' Meara. Rather than sitting on their laurels for the second half, the team contuined their good work rate and the points began to flow with Cormac O' Driscoll, Phil Blake excelling at midfield, with some excellent scores from a wide range of players. Despite conceeding a late goal, the selectors will be happy with this display, and hopefully a repeat performance lies ahead when they travel to Douglas on Saturday to play the home side in a challenge game at 3:30pm.
