Laois Intermediate Football Championship

Very good win for Clonaslee considering the hurling result last week, not easy for a duel club to pick themselves up in a week, with a lot of duel players, Timahoe can't have any excuses, can't blame "getting caught" this year hardly, best side won again.

They were two interesting semi-finals Saturday evening.

Annanough just about deserved to get by our lads although they'll be concerned about the second half fade out. It took a very brave intervention by Scully to get what ultimately proved to be the winning goal. James and Donal Miller were very good for Annanough in the first half. Courtwood played most of the football in the second half but just came up a bit short. Been a decent year for us and Annanough are in a great position now.

Clonaslee just seemed to want the second semi a bit more than Timahoe. Played some great football – tough, direct and kicked a lot of scores from play whereas Timahoe were overly dependent on Ruairi O'Connor's frees. They'll be very disappointed – would have been favourites for the last two intermediate titles and with Quigley on board this year seemed to be certs.

The final looks hard to call.

very disappointed with timahoe thought they were poor when the game was there to be won. Clonaslee on the other hand played some good football and got real momentum from there goal & were full value for there win. Annanough/Courtwood game very stop/start game a lot of injuries in it probably didn't help, Thought Courtwood deserved something out of it. Scullys intervention for goal was serious knowing well he'd be written off difference between winning & losing.

What happened Annanough yesterday?

Did they turn up on the day or were Clonaslee just too good for them?

Poor final, thought it would be a better game.
Annanough kicked a lot of first half wides. Goalkeeper had 4 or 5 wides on his own from dead balls! Clonaslee always looked comfortable and a bad goal finished the game. Bad look taken off the scoreboard near the end with a goal from Donal Miller.
Clonaslee might struggle in senior unless they can play better than this.

Shocking final probably the worst in living memory...Annanough always seem to bottle it on big days...

Disappointed with John Scully and Donal Miller who played so well all year!
