Killanin in the inter football cship final heartbreak for moniveaabbey

AT TUAM STADIUM

A THRILLING fightback by Monivea-Abbey after a disappointing start failed narrowly in the end but they put up a great battle before going under to Killanin in a passionate, very exciting Intermediate Football Championship semi-final at Tuam Stadium on Sunday.
They were left to count the cost of a slow opening period that saw them fall nine points behind their opponents towards the end of the first half but they played their hearts out from then on — only to be foiled at the final whistle after giving their supporters a roller-coaster ride, particularly in the second half.
