Egan Jewellers Intermediate Championship

Round 1 of the Championship is this Sunday 15th May 2pm at Gilmartin Park, Kiltimagh. We have played Kiltimagh earlier this year in the Michael Walsh Intermediate League final and our hosts beat us that day by 0-10 to 0-6.

We have started off our Division 1C league with two wins and one loss while Kiltimagh have lost all three opening games in Division 1B.

It should be a tight game and all support will be needed in Kiltimagh.

The other two teams in our group Tourmakeady and Bohola Moy Davitts meet on Saturday evening in Foxford.
