THERE WAS DRAMA at the end of an otherwise poor All-Ireland Intermediate Club Semi-Final, as a Colm Cavanagh ball and a Sean Cavanagh break provided the catalyst for Harry Loughran’s late goal in Moy’s victory over 14-man An Ghaeltacht.
The Kerry side led for most of a tight encounter, but it took 17 minutes for the game’s opening score to arrive through An Ghaeltacht’s PJ Mac Laimh, with a free from Sean M Ó Conchúir edging them further ahead.
Sean Cavanagh put Moy on the scoreboard in the 21 st minute and soon levelled matters from a free, but the Tyrone side missed four decent opportunities to take the lead, leaving both sides on two points apiece at the end of a turgid first-half.
The second-half’s first score came straight from the throw-in courtesy of Brian Ó Beaglaoich, but Cavanagh managed to draw a foul from Marc Ó Sé in responding for Moy.
Both All-Ireland winners got tangled up after An Ghaeltacht’s next score but the straight red card for Éanna Ó Conchúir was a bigger talking point in the 42nd minute as they appeared to be at a major numerical disadvantage.
An Ghaeltacht looked to have overcome that setback when a further Ó Beaglaoich point and a Sean M Ó Conchúir free put them 0-6 to 0-3 in front at the start of six additional minutes.
Loughran’s goal two minutes later changed matters however. He added a further point, while substitute Connall Duffy chipped in with an insurance score to claim a two-point win for Moy.
An Ghaeltacht were left to rue Mac Laimh putting a chance at salvaging matters wide but it is Moy who will go on to play Michael Glaveys of Roscommon in next Saturday’s
decider in Croke Park.
