Danesfort are crowned Intermediate League champions - Kilkenny Live
Last Friday evening in Thomastown, Danesfort intermediate camoige team won the club’s first-ever title in the intermediate grade when securing a one point win over Mooncoin in the Shaws Department Store Intermediate ACL League Final.
The first half was a nervy tense half with both teams finding it hard to breakdown stubborn defences. At the half time break Danesfort led by 0-4 to 0-3.
The second half continued in the same vein with both defences still making attackers scores very difficult.
Heading to the full time whistle and with the game locked at 0-7 a piece, Mooncoin got a free to put them ahead, for the first time, since the first minute of the game.
With the game deep into injury time a booming free from Danesfort, landed in around the Mooncoin house, a tough battle ensued which resulted in with the ball in the back of the southerner’s net.
The game still wasn't over and Mooncoin had one last chance but unluckily for them it flashed over the bar. The resulting puck out was the last puck as referee Liz Dempsey blew for full time.
The game was played in a great sporting manner from two very committed teams who gave there all. Hard luck to Mooncoin.
Well done to Danesfort girls and management on a fantastic win. Nights like these is what sport is all about. Fantastic support also for the team last night thanks to all who came down to Thomastown.
The team and management would also like to express there thanks and gratitude to Terry And Kate Clune for there continued support and sponsorship.
Final score: Danesfort 1-7 Mooncoin 0-9.
