Intermediate League: Toome played Clones in a away fixture on Saturday last, 8th July. This was a great team performance where every man gave his all. Conditions were superb with just a slight breeze. Both teams gave it their all and this was a tough match played in good spirits. Toome were down to 17 available players with injuries and unavailable players, Liam McCooey suffered an early injury and we wish him a speedy recovery, this left a lot for the team to do, this is where grit and determination come in as every man was red faced heading in at the break and again at the final whistle. Toome took their scores well creating open space and bursting through at pace, James was on point with his frees and the backs put in a solid performance despite a goal conceded. This was the win that was needed and this means Toome will face Monaghan Harps on Tuesday 25th July in the relegation play off in St Victors Park at 7:30pm. FT Score: Toome 1:14 – 1:12 Clones. Toome would like to extend well wishes and a speedy recovery to James Mealiff who landed badly and was taken off. Please be sure to come along to show your support in what is a must win game. #BeThe16thMan.
