Athlone through to semis after convincing win over O’Hanrahan’s

Athlone advanced to the Leinster Intermediate Football Championship semi-final following a smashing 1-12 to 1-4 win over O’Hanrahan’s from Carlow.

A provincial semi-final clash away to Wexford outfit Glynn Barntown awaits for an impressive Athlone side, who were always in control against O’Hanrahan’s.

Damien Kelly’s excellent early goal gave Athlone a fine start as Noel Mulligan and John Connellan also contributed important points. Leading 1-6 to 0-2 at the interval, Athlone commenced the second half brightly too as Ray Connellan burst through for a brilliant score.

O’Hanrahan’s rallied briefly in the closing stages, but Athlone were never in any serious danger as they posted a morale-boosting success.
