2021 INTERMEDIATE CHAMPIONSHIP HISTORY MAKERS
Last Saturday evening 6th November in Glennon Bros. Pearse Park our team made club history by winning their second Intermediate Final in the same year by defeating a gallant Ballymahon side on a scoreline of 05 - 2 04.
It took St. Brigid's well into the last quarter to assert their superiority in the game when a well worked move was fired home to the Ballymahon net by Johnny Casey. This was soon followed by another goal from Dylan Farrell which left us in a comfortable position to go on and win.
It was a proud moment for the large number of Killashee supporters who watched team captain Michael Farrell lift the Gerry Hennessy Cup for the second time in three months.
It is great credit to the manager, Ray Curley, his selectors Francis Fallon, Tony Dooner and Mick Magan and the team to retain the intermediate crown and remain unbeaten while doing so.
Congratulations to Johnny Casey who received the very well deserved Man of the Match award.
This win was the icing on the cake and a brilliant year for our club with two intermediate championships in the bag and our extensive club development near completion.
In the words of one wise supporter this win will shorten the winter in Killashee.
We now go on to the Leinster Intermediate Championship. Our first opponents will be Clara from Offaly in a home fixture on week ending 21st November.
The club would like to thank the following sponsors for their generous sponsorship, M&A Couriers, McPartlands/The Richmond Inn, LF Engineering, Owen Johnston, Keepak Group, Johnston's Pharmacy Lanesboro, Peter Hanley Motors and Bord Na Mona.
