IFL: We had a good win away to Emyvale in the Intermediate Football League quarter-finals last Friday. Goals from Dean Doherty, Seán Callan and Kevin Loughran got us off to a great start and with Gary Devlin, Luke McManus and Michael Galligan adding points, we led by 3-6 to 1-7 at half-time. Emyvale battled back, but our lads held firm for a 3-11 to 1-13 win that sees us earn a place in a semi-final away to Carrickmacross on the last weekend in July.
