Intermediate Football John Brady Cup.

Armagh 3-10 Roscommon 0-03

On a shortened card at Gaelic park last Sunday, Armagh was completely dominant in all facets to record a facile win over Roscommon in the first game of the day.

With a scoring outburst of 3-06 to 0-01 in the first half with the Roscommon point coming just before the buzzer the game as a contest was over before it started practically. With both sides putting thirteen on the field to allow for open football, it was the Orchard men who hit all the right notes.

The big full forward John Hanratty was completely dominant and he chipped in 1-02 in the opening thirty minutes with his first point a brilliant effort from a sideline in the left corner. He was also a perfect target man and was adept to lay the ball of to better placed teammates at will. Garth Kelly on the forty also had an impressive opening half and he scored one of the Armagh goals when he shook off two tackles and soloed in from forty yards out to easily dispatch to the net. 

Sean McMullan had the third goal when he combined with Kevin McGeeney and Sean Kelly for an excellent score. Little to look back on for Roscommon in the accolades category as they never came to grips with the game and only had the Kieran Kieveney point to celebrate.

The teams had two points a piece in the opening minutes of the second half but Armagh had the final two scores of the game when Garth Kelly and John Hanratty had points in a shortened stanza. Suffice to say that no one was complaining when Tommy Fahey put an early end to proceedings. Patsy Martin, Conor Hunter, and Eoghan McParland were very solid at the back and time and time again they were the stumbling block for Roscommon.

Kevin McGeeney, the two Kelly’s, Seam McMullan and Hanratty all did an amount of very good work on the way to the easy win. For Roscommon, John R Stack, Michael O’Neill, and Kieran Kieveney were prominent.
