IFL: We got off the mark in the Intermediate Football League with a 2-15 to 1-11 win away to Éire Óg on Saturday. An early goal by Michael McMorrow got us off to a good start, with Michael Galligan, Éimhín Morahan, Fionán Ó Gallchóir and Seán Callan adding points to help us lead by 1-9 to 0-4 at half-time. The second half was more even, but a fortunate goal, along with a two-pointer by Senan Cudden and further scores from Michael Galligan and Oisín Fagan kept us ahead throughout.
