    Swinford v Moy Davitts

    Michael Walsh Intermediate League

    We enjoyed a very good win against our neighbours Moy Davitts in the semi final of the Michael Walsh Intermediate League in Parke on a wet and windy Saturday evening.

    We played with the aid of the wind in the first half but it was Moy Davitts who got the first score with a free after a few minutes. This was to be the one and only time they led in the game as we were soon level with a point from James Devaney which was followed by a great point from James Lavin and a goal by Mark Forkan.

    Moy Davitts picked up their first black card and then cut the deficit with a second free.

    We soon had the chance of a second goal only for Joe Kelly to have his shot pushed out for a 45 which was easily put over by Liam Moran. Our defence then put in a great effort to keep our opponents restricted to a third free before two fine points by Mark Forkan had us leading by 1-5 to 0-3 at the interval.

    Straight away in the second half we were on the attack and Darren Campbell had a goal bound shot blocked down. Both teams swapped wides before Moy Davitts had their second black card and the resulting free was put over by Kevin McDonagh. Then came the score of the game a great catch by Joe Kelly from Sean Kavanagh kick out was passed to the running James Lavin who from out on the left curled over a lovely point. Some more wides from Moy Davitts were punished by a point from Fergal Harte making the run up the field from full back. We now led by 1-8 to 0-3 but the Moy Davitts men came back and scored the next four points, three from the placed ball.

    Pat O’Neill made a number of changes bringing on Johnny Burke, Danny McNicholas and James Sweeney and Danny soon steadied the ship with a fine point.

    With the clock approaching full time what appeared to be a clear penalty after James Sweeney was dragged down in the small area was given as a free out to the defending team and down the field the Davitts came and scored a point. From another dead ball they brought the game to within a goal with the game well into injury time but some graet defence work by Sean Kavanagh and the entire team brought the game to a conclusion by 1-9 to 0-9 and into the final we go.

    We now face either Westport or Kiltimagh in the final and can look forward to a Championship meeting with Moy Davitts in the summer.

    Swinford: Sean Kavanagh, Steven McNicholas, Fergal Harte, Alan McLoughlin, Jason Carney, Sean Brady, James Lavin, Mark Forkan, Barry Brennan, John Carney, Liam Moran, Darren Campbell, Kevin McDonagh, Joe Kelly, James Devaney. Subs: Eoghan Gallagher, Kevin Barry, Johnny Burke, Danny McNicholas, James Sweeney, Kevin Doyle.

    Scorers: Mark Forkan 1-2, James Lavin 0-2, James Devaney, Liam Moran, Kevin McDonagh, Fergal Harte, Danny McNicholas 0-1

    Michael Walsh Intermediate League

    Swinford 0-8 Balla 0-6

    Swinford managed to fend off a late Balla resurgence on Sunday as they advanced to the Michael Walsh semi-final where they will play Moy Davitts in Parke on Saturday.
    It was the visitors to Robert McCallion Memorial Park who started the brighter and opened the scoring with a couple of points before Gerry Callaghan got his side up and running with a fine score from a tight angle. From that point on, there was very little Balla resistance in terms of scoring until late in the game as they wasted numerous opportunities in front of goal whilst Swinford took their chances much better.
    Danny McNicholas hit a long range score which was followed by scores from midfielder Mark Forkan, a John Carney free and James Sweeney to push Swinford into a 0-5 to 0-2 lead. Manager Pat O’Neil decided to change things up minutes later bringing on four substitutes – Ryan Convey, Kevin McDonagh, Joe Kelly and Mick Prendergast – 10 minutes before half time.
    The subs had an immediate impact with Kevin McDonagh tapping over a point moments after a move between himself and Mick Prendergast almost reaped a score.
    At half time Swinford were four points ahead and seemingly in control of the game as they gradually began to assert themselves in the middle of the park. Kevin McDonagh hit over another free before Mick Prendergast hit a long range effort 10 minutes into the half. That would be Swinford’s last score however as Balla began to get on top in the possession stakes. However they couldn’t close the gap completely with three points from frees and another from play their only return from the second half as the defensive effort led by Steven McNicholas, sweeper John Carney and Alan McLoughlin stopped many of their attacks in their tracks.

    Swinford: Sean Kavanagh, Kevin Barry, Steven McNicholas, Alan McLoughlin, Darren Campbell, Sean Brady, James Lavin, Mark Forkan, Barry Brennan, John Carney, Danny McNicholas, Liam Moran, James Sweeney, Gerry Callaghan, James Devanney.
    Scorers: Kevin McDonagh 0-2, Mark Forkan, Danny McNicholas, Mark Forkan, Mick Prendergast, Gerry Callaghan and James Sweeney 0-1 each.

    Thanks to Kevin Moran for the report.
