That's a poor show from Tir na nÓg though our match with Cross didn't go ahead either. Don't like this habit of not playing matches towards the end of the season.

Intermediate Championship Semi Final
Sunday 30 August, Athletic Grounds
Wolfe Tones 1-09 St.Michaels, Newtownhamilton 1-11
Wolfe Tones hopes of winning the intermediate championship came to an end on Sunday evening at the Athletic Grounds, where they lost narrowly to St.Michael's Newtownhamilton who will now go on to face Keady in the decider on Sunday 4 October. 
The winners where quickly out of the blocks and opened the scoring in the first minute when their number.13 was able to kick a fine score on the run from the right wing.  The Tones response was immediate, after a searching ball from wing-forward Declan Lavery, Gerard Kavanagh was able to gain possession and lay the ball off to Chris McAlinden, who found the target from 25 yards with his right boot. 
The Tones moved ahead for the 1st time after 8 minutes after a goal chance went begging.  Gerard Kavanagh broke the ball down to himself and instinctively swung on the ball, and the effort which appeared goalbound was deflected wide by the St.Michael's full back.  From the resulting "45", Conor Coleman stepped up and calmly put the ball over the bar. 
The Tones extended their lead after 11 minutes after a sublime point from Declan Lavery.  Chris McAlinden's pass found Brendan Coleman and his layoff found Declan around 30 yards out on the left hand touchline and he was able to raise a white flag. 
St.Michael's responded in the 12th minute with when their midfielder was fouled 30 yards from the Tones goal.  The no.13 converted this to leave the minimum between the sides. 
Declan Lavery then claimed 2 points in as many minutes for the Tones.  The first came after Brendan Coleman collected a pin-point Connor McCarron pass and he split the posts from 35 yards.  The second of the brace came after Chris McAlinden found Declan on the right wing and he cut inside to leave 3 points between the sides midway between the first half. 
After good pressure from Michael Carson on the St.Michael's centre half forward, forced him to kick wide, the Tones where then hit by a sucker punch.  After 22 minutes the St.Michael's midfield combined to cut through the Tones defence and their no.12 blasted to the Tones net leaving 'keeper Gerard O'Neill with no chance. 
Two minutes later, the Tones responded with their own 3 pointer.  After a great surging run from Niall Geoghegan who got through a mountain of work allday, Connor Coleman was pulled down and after consultation with his umpires, the referee awarded the penalty.  Chris McAlinden stepped up and his penalty sneaked past the keeper who was able to get hands on the ball, but not prevent it from finding the right hand corner. 
In stoppage time at the end of he first half, St.Michael's where able to reduce the arrears to 1 point when their no. 13 converted two frees, leaving all to play for going into the second half with St.Michael's having the aid of the breeze in the 2nd half. 


Half Time Wolfe Tones 1-05 St.Michael 1-04
The Tones got the opening score of the second half after 32 minutes.  Ryan McQuillan outstanding throughout, got out in front of his man and made a trademark surge forward.  He found Finnian Moriarty who placed a splendid pass infront of John Toal who found the on rushing Niall Geoghegan who pointed from 21 yards. 
After 36 minutes, there was once again only a point separating the sides.  The St.Michael's no.13 showing a touch of class to sell a dummy and kick a point with his left foot from 21 yards. 
After 39 minutes, corner forward Jonathan McCarron picked up possession in his own 21yard line and after linking well with Declan Lavery and Gerard Kavanagh, Michael Carson found Brendan Coleman who drilled the ball over from 30 yards for a fine worked team score. 
Michael Carson's good work continued in the 41st minute when he got himself on the scoresheet.  Ryan McQuillan found John Toal and Michael surged through the St.Michael's defence and with the possibility of a goal, took the sensible option and fisted the ball over the bar.  The Tones where now 3 ahead and looked to have the momentum to win the game.  However, they would not register another point for 17 minutes which proved to be a key factor in St.Michael's progession to the final. 
With 43 minutes on the clock, a fine crossfield diagonal pass found the St.Michael's no.13 who pointed from 20 yards.  A minute later, there was sight of the Tones goal for the St.Michael's full forward, however, he was well stood up by Connor McCarron and had to settle for a point. 
The game had a real championship feel at this stage, with both sides showing great guts and determination.  After 54 minutes the sides where level for the first time since the 22 minute.  After a "45" dropped short, the St.Michael's full forward drove the ball over the bar having won the breaking ball around the Tones 14 yard line. 
This seemed to really galvinise St.Michael's and they scored points in the 56th and 57th minute through their no.15 and full forward respectively to put them ahead for the first time since the opening minute. 
Declan Lavery then saw a sniff of a goal chance and from 25 yards went for goal and forced the St.Michael's keeper into a good save.  The Tones where then able to recycle possession and Stephen Lavery found Declan Lavery who took a point to leave a point between the sides with a minute to play. 
During the two minutes of added time, the Tones where unable to manufacture any chance of the equalising point and in added ontime the St.Michael's No.15 scored the insurance point to send them through to the final to face Keady. 
Full time Wolfe Tones 1-09 St.Michael's Newtownhamilton
Wolfe Tones: Gerard O'Neill, Niall Geoghegan(0-01), Ryan McQuillan, Chris McCarron, Michael Carson(0-01), Connor McCarron, Emmet Haughian, Finnian Moriarty, Connor Coleman(0-01,"45"), Declan Lavery(0-04), Chris McAlinden1-01),, James Lavery, Brendan Coleman(0-01), Gerard Kavanagh, Jonathan McCarron Subs: John Toal for James Lavery, Stephen Lavery for Jonathan McCarron

disappointing to loose a game where we where either level or ahead for 55 minutes off.  have concentrate on surviving div2 now.

lads had the pleasure of the great R Quigey as ref on sunday in Cruppen and h managed to surpass even his own low standards. This man is nothing short of a clown. We had a man sent off in the first half. Now the lad was blown up for over carrying and he called the ref a dick(which he shouldn'thave done) he was then given a yellow card and asked by quigley to repeat what he said so our lad repated it and quigley said at least you are man enough to repeat it and gave him a staright red our lad ill now miss the senior championship because of this. Quigley then said that he had heard we (clans) had misbehaved against cullyhanna a few weeks back and that he would fix that. He aso pointed out our number 7 and said he gave me abuse at an u-21 game. Now several of the cruppen lads witnessed this also. How can this man getaway with this. We went cruppen clubhouse after the game ad the cruppen faithful couldn't believe what Quigley had done and they were asking us what we had done on him. I was later informed that Eire Og have a complaint in about this guy also and i can tell yu there will be another forwarded. What is the story with Quiigley and Cross?
