Intermediate Football Championship 2011

May 7: Ferns St. Aidans 5-20, Naomh Eanna 2-7
FERNS ST. Aidan's powered home to victory as they finished off a lack-lustre Naomh Eanna side in this Group C game in the Intermediate football championship in perfect conditions in Farmleigh.
    Ferns looked a much fitter, organised and more committed side throughout and the scoreboard reflected this as they simply ran away with a 22-point victory.
    Ahead by nine at half-time, Ferns never took their foot off the throttle as they scored outscored their opponents in the second-half by more than they had in the first.
    Ferns looked sharper from the throw-in with points from a Patrick Codd free and efforts from play from Paul Morris and Patrick Breen before the Gorey side responded with a point through Mark Langan-Murphy.
    It was all Ferns in the next ten minutes as they notched up 1-6 without reply, with points coming from Codd, Tommy Dwyer and two from county Minor Patrick Breen.
    Christopher 'Bitzy' O'Connor scored his side's first goal with a tidy finish and John Breen could have had another moments later but skinned the post.
    Struggling Naomh Eanna pulled a point back through a John O'Brien free, but Codd quickly responded with a point before John Breen made up for his previous miss to score his side's second goal.
    Naomh Eanna finished the half strongly with points from John and Mark Langan-Murphy before a Codd point for Ferns, and then Mark Langan-Murphy threw Gorey a lifeline with a goal.
    When Peter Travers opened the scoring for Naomh Eanna in the first minute of the new half, it looked like his side might be going to fight back, but Ferns responded with two points each from Patrick Breen and Morris.
    The leaders contined to dominate, with Christopher O’Connor, substitute Ian Byrne and the impressive Patrick Breen all adding goals and substitute Seán Doyle managing one as a consolation for the Gorey men who were simply outclassed.

Ferns St. Aidans: Conor Swaine; Seán Murphy, Liam Murphy, Jonathan Dwyer; Robert Vickers, Jamie Dunbar, Benny Jordan; Jamie Whelan, Patrick Codd (0-5, 3 frees); John Breen (1-1), James Tonks (0-1), Tommy Dwyer (0-2); Christopher O'Connor (2-2), Paul Morris (0-3), Patrick Breen (1-6). Subs: Donnacha Kinsella for J. Breen, Ian Byrne (1-0) for T. Dwyer.
Referee: Paddy Stamp (Castletown).

May 15: Ferns St. Aidans 1-13, Blackwater 1-8
FERNS ST. AIDAN’S had a far tougher assignment than their first round thrashing of Naomh Eanna when they came from behind to defeat Blackwater in Group B of the FBD Intermediate football championship in St. Patrick’s Park on Sunday last.
    Indeed, when Kerril Sutton goaled for the seasiders and Paul Murphy added a quick point, Ferns found themselves trailing by 1-8 to 0-10 with 13 minutes left.
    Substitute Ian Byrne levelled before the key score arrived when Patrick Byrne flicked the ball to the net after 51 minutes. Further unanswered points from James Tonks, Paul Morris and John Breen sealed a second successive win for the men in red.
    The sides had been deadlocked on 0-5 each after 16 minutes, before a brace of Denis Carroll points pushed Blackwater ahead. However, they found themselves 0-8 to 0-7 in arrears at the interval as Patrick Codd (two) and Paul Morris responded for the eventual victors.

Ferns St. Aidans: Conor Swaine; Seán Murphy, Liam Murphy, Johnny Dwyer; Robert Vickers, Jamie Dunbar (capt.), Benny Jordan; Jamie Whelan, Patrick Codd (0-2); Tommy Dwyer, James Tonks (0-1), John Breen (0-2, 1 free); Christopher O'Connor (0-1), Paul Morris (0-4, 1 free), Patrick Breen (1-3). SUBS: Declan Byrne for L. Murphy, inj., Ian Byrne (0-1) for Codd, Donncha Kinsella for Whelan, Derek Thorpe for Tonks, inj.
Referee: Pat Kehoe (Rathgarogue-Cushinstown).
 
September 24, quarter-final: Kilrush 0-16, Ferns St. Aidans 1-9 (after extra time)
KILRUSH PRODUCED the shock of the FBD Intermediate football championship quarter-finals as they out-pointed Ferns St. Aidan's after extra-time in Bellefield on Saturday last.
    Ferns, who had breezed through a group which included Bannow-Ballymitty, were strong favourites coming into the contest but, apart from the opening few minutes, were by and large outplayed by the north county side.
    The victors played with aggression and an intensity that their opponents couldn't live with for most of the contest, although they did need an injury time point from Gary Doran to take the game to extra-time.
    Before that, points from Patrick Breen and Patrick Codd (two) saw Ferns race into a three-point lead after four minutes. Several other wides came and went and it looked like the game would go to form.
    However, Kilrush started to get a foothold in midfield and, in turn, the game as a whole. Shane Tomkins' pair of points tied the game at 0-4 each in the 12th minute and with John Byrne, Frank Boggan and Tomás Hayden also getting on the scoresheet before the break, Kilrush went in at the interval ahead by two (0-7 to 0-5).
    In control, Kilrush increased the lead to four by the 46th minute. Ferns, having only scored one point in the previous 29 minutes, grabbed a lifeline when substitute Keith Rynhart latched on to a breaking ball on the edge of the large rectangle and lashed to the corner of the net (0-10 to 1-6). 
    Patrick Breen equalised with six minutes remaining before Rynhart pointed four minutes later to give Ferns a stunning late lead. Frank Boggan missed a last-minute free to tie the game but the excellent Gary Doran didn't panic when his opportunity to send the game to extra-time came as he pointed from the right (1-8 to 0-11).
    Having been given the reprieve, Kilrush pushed on in the extra period. Boggan and Tomkins gave them the lead at the interval of extra-time and a Richie O'Hara double after the resumption helped to ease their side into the semi-final.

Ferns St. Aidans: Conor Swaine; Declan Byrne, Colm Whelan, Seán Murphy; Jamie Dunbar, James Tonks, Robert Vickers; Patrick Codd (0-5 frees), Jamie Whelan; John Breen, Ian Byrne (0-1), Christopher O'Connor; Tommy Dwyer, Paul Morris, Patrick Breen (0-2, 1 free). Subs: Keith Rynhart (1-1) for Morris, Johnny Dwyer for C. Whelan, inj., Benny Jordan for J. Breen, Morris for Codd.
Referee: Brendan Martin (Ballyhogue).
