Faughanvale v Greenlough
Derry’s Intermediate Football Championship threw in this weekend as 12 clubs entered, hopeful of getting off to a perfect start.
Faughanvale added to their memorable league campaign with a narrow 0-8 to 0-7 first round victory away to Greenlough, in a game lacking excitement despite a Jordan Curran red card for the visitors.
Forglen and Eoghan Rua Coleraine were also victorious in Group B in the opening round of the intermediate championship.
Forglen edged out Glenullin at home on a scoreline of 2-10 to 1-11, a poor start for back-to-back intermediate championship champions.
Following a poor season and relegation from the Senior League, Coleraine earned their first victory of the season on a scoreline of 0-10 to 0-9 over Desertmartin.
Meanwhile, in Group A, favourites for the competition, Ballinderry, got off to an expected start as they were comfortable victors over Limavady Wolfhounds on Thursday evening, 3-17 to 1-9.
Banagher got off to a perfect start as they waltzed to victory over rivals and neighbours Claudy by 20 points on a scoreline of 4-9 to 0-1.
The remaining game of the group ended in a stalemate as Drumsurn stopped Castledawson, beginning their campaign with a home victory.
The team based just outside Limavady left Castledawson with a point as the game finished 0-12 to 1-9.
