INTERMEDIATE FOOTBALL CHAMPIONSHIP – ROUND 3
Raheen Intermediate Footballers suffered their first defeat in the Championship aganst Cappincur in Ballycomman last Friday evening in Round 3 on a scoreline of 3-13 to 1-09 which leaves Raheen facing an uphill struggle to qualify for the quarter finals from the remaining 2 games. It all went wrong for Raheen straight from the throw in as Cappincur with their first attack got in to score their first goal inside the first min. Cappincur then added their first 2 points before Raheen got off the mark with a point midway through the half. Over the next 15 mins Raheen added 5 points as Cappincur replied with 4 points of their own. Then in stoppage time Cappincur ended the half as they started robbing possession in the square before flicking the ball top the net for goal no 2 and so at the break Cappincur were leading well 2-06 to 0-06. Raheen needed to get off to a good start in the second half and this they did with the first attack they won a penalty when Paddy Rigney was brought down and stepped up to take it himself sending the keeper the wrong way to bury his shot in the net. This was wipped out in the 3rd min as Cappincur with their first break got in to score their third goal. The next 15 mins Raheen slowly clawed their way back into it with 3 points to Cappincur’s 1. Then in the final 10 mins Raheen created a number of scoring chances but could not get the finishing touch as Cappincur streched clear tagging on the final 6 points without reply to wrap it up.
