Despite a promising start Armoy fell to a 13point defeat against their Glenshesk rivals from the other side of the glen on Sunday in round 3 of the Intermediate Championship. Indeed at the first water break they held sway with a 0-8 to 0-4 lead, courtesy of scores from Conor Christie, Tommy Burns , Liam Dillon and 4 from Tarlach McBride frees, with Carey relying on three pointed frees and one from play to keep them in touch. After the break Carey seemed to find another gear and three stellar scores, the first from Caolan McCaughan on the 20th minute was followed by two more on the 28th and 30th minutes from John McBride turned the game around to leave the Faughs 3-8 to 0-10 ahead at the interval.
As in the first half the Glen Rovers came out of the blocks first and pulled back three points one from PJ McBride and two frees from Tarlach McBride, Paddy Gillan opened the second half scoring for the Faughs with a well taken point, but on the 49th and 52nd minutes Carey breached the Armoy defence again with two goals, both coming from Conor McBride. Entering the last quarter the visitors took full control with further points from James Black, Sean McLaughlin and a sixth goal from Conor McBride.
Tommy Burns and Tarlach McBride added further points for the home side as Carey emptied their bench but the win was secured for the men from Ballyvoy and they now go into Wednesday evening’s game with table toppers Cloney Gaels knowing that another win would go a long way towards qualification of the semi-final
