The penultimate round of the south intermediate league would see Bruree face knockainey in what can only be described as the Bruree’s toughest test to date. Knockainey fresh from relegation from the Premier Intermediate championship brought everything they had to Bruree on the evening.
The game began with a point from Kieran O’Dea which was quickly answered by Knockainey’s Mikey O’Grady. This would set the tone for the somewhat back and forth game.
A goal from Kieran O’Dea followed by points from Kevin Hayden and Ronan O’Halloran and Sam Cronolly would see us pull away in the first half. Knockainey, however would not prove to be halted by this and would come back into the game.
The backs remained strong in defence and were able to keep Knockainey away from goal line. Particular player of note in the backs were William Sexton and Jimmy O’Dea who defended and broke ball well.
Halftime Score Bruree 1-10 Knockainey 0-11
Following halftime Knockainey would score two points unanswered. These were two by Ronan O’Halloran.
The game would remain close after this with both Bruree and Knockainey both working some brilliant scores.
Great ball delivery from Sam Williams would help the likes of Paddy Lynch and Conor Frawley score some vital points.
A late free converted by Sam Cronolly would see us in the lead, however this was matched by a point from Knockainey and would see the match finish Bruree 1-20 to Knockainey 0-23.
