Ballymahon are back in the Intermediate Football Championship final for the second year in succession following their one-point win over a fancied Sean Connolly’s side at Glennon Brothers Pearse Park on Sunday last.
Ballymahon . . . 0-9 Sean Connolly’s . . . 1-5
Alan Hudson’s side, who had led by 0-5 to 0-1 at half-time, were hard pressed to remain in contention in the second half as Connolly’s got right back in contention with a cracking goal from Dessie Reynolds.
The Ballinalee side were looking good when they surged a couple of points ahead but Ballymahon produced a strong finish to shoot three points in a row with a brilliant free from teenager Jack Walsh in stoppage time sealing the slender win.
