Mulleady Group Intermediate Football Championship Group B - Round 5

Sean Connolly’s . . . 2-5 Kenagh . . . 1-8

Reynolds got his first goal in the 36th minute and five minutes later got a second to put his side ahead by six points. Credit to Kenagh they came back and grabbed a goal in the sixth minute of stoppage time but it was too late.

Kenagh will rue missed opportunities. They kicked a number of poor wides and took the wrong options on a few occasions. Connolly’s also kicked wides but the two goals they scored proved crucial in clinching a place in the last four.
