Fr Manning Gaels are back in the Intermediate Football Championship final after staging a great escape to overcome Kenagh in a thriller at Glennon Brothers Pearse Park on Saturday evening last.
Fr Manning Gaels . . . 2-14 Kenagh . . . 1-14
David Collum propelled his side into a 3 point lead in stoppage time when he punched the ball past substitute goalkeeper Anthony McCormack and the Gaels hung on to return to a repeat of the 2019 final against Ballymahon.
Kenagh had held the lead for large parts of the game and looked like they were going to head for their first Intermediate final in 15 years when Aidan Carberry pointed them ahead in entering additional time.
But the Drumlish/Ballinamuck side held their nerve and after a point from Cian Cassidy levelled matters, Collum struck the killer blow for his second goal in this cracking game.
