LOUTH SIDE SEAN O’Mahonys are the Leinster intermediate football champions after victory over Meath’s Ballinlough this afternoon.
O’Mahonys started the game the stronger racing into 0-4 to no score lead. However, Peader Byrne’s goal from a penalty and points from Byrne, Colm Mallen and Ken Rothwell swung the game in Ballinlough’s favour.
The Dundalk club were level by half time and, despite having Conor Crawley red-carded, limited Ballinlough to just one second half score before running out 0-10 to 1-4 winners.
In the Ulster decider, a strong second half performance was enough for Down’s Warrenpoint to get to better of 2006 All-Ireland IFC winners Inniskeen.
Ross McGarry scored 0-9 with Gary Boyle adding 1-1 after coming on as a substitute to help crown their side the Ulster club IFC champions on a scoreline of 1-14 to 1-7.
Elsewhere, there was a win for Aherlow but Eire Og Annacarty and Cahir will have to do it all again in the Tipperary SFC quarter-finals.
