MC ELVANEY’S WASTE & RECYCLING INTERMEDIATE FOOTBAL;L CHAMPIONSHIP.
Toome 1-14, Corduff 0-12.
Toome staged an increasingly effective second-half performance to come from being 4 points behind at half-time to winning by 5 in this entertaining yet keenly contested sudden death play-off in Inniskeen on Saturday evening last. Central to Toome’s recovery was a goal by Gary Wilson midway through the 2nd half that restored them to the lead and they saw the game out although Corduff’s cause wasn’t helped by the fact that they were reduced to 14 men with some 6 minutes to go when Ciaran Brennan was sent off on a 2nd yellow card. Corduff led at half-time by 0-10 to 0-6 and still held a slight edge for most of the 3rd quarter but once Tome got their noses in front for the 2nd time in the game they closed it out with 3 points from James Wilson, 2 from frees and the final score of the match from Sean McMahon.
