GAA - Daly Brothers Intermediate Football Championship, first round, first leg Urris 2-06  Na Rossa 0-12 Despite having the majority of possession throughout the game Urris were only able to manage a draw in this Intermediate Championship encounter at Crampsey Park.And this result gives Urris an uphill struggle when they go away to Na Rossa in the second round.A goal by Simon Friel after 30 minutes was closely followed by another by Alan Friel, and with Na Rossa stunned at this stage the Inishowen side should have taken the opportunity to kill the game off.However a wides tally that reached double figures coupled with the chances handed to the opposition allowed Na Rossa to go home with the advantage for the next round.Urris’ Mickey Harkin opened the scoring in the game before Odhran Gallagher levelled for the away side. Further points were added by Dara Doherty for Urris and Ryan Hennesey for Na Rossa in what was shaping up to be a tight encounter.However the home team got a firm hold of the game and dominated proceedings throughout the first half, despite hitting a number of wides.A point by Peter Devlin was all Urris had to show for up until the 25th minute as Na Rossa were being handed chances by the Urris defence.Points by JP McCready and Sean McDaid for Na Rossa saw them take a one point advantage before Simon Friel fired the ball into the back of the net to put the home side ahead again.He collected a long pass by Martin Kelly towards goal and rose well to flick the ball past Michael Gallagher in the Na Rossa net.A second goal came moments later, this time from Alan Friel. He received a pass from Mickey Harkin and side-stepped Trevor Melly to leave him with only the ‘keeper to beat.Urris looked like they would take full advantage of their five point lead, but an attack by Na Rossa on the stroke of half time almost saw them get a goal themselves. JP McCready’s drive towards goal was straight at Jonathan Noone, who was able to get a hand to the ball and send it over to only give them a point.Half time score Urris 2-3, Na Rossa 0-5.Na Rossa were playing with the wind in the second half, and took full advantage by scoring four points without reply inside 10 minutes.Points came from JP McCready, JP Breslin and Martin Caulfield.Urris kept pressing for goals and almost got a third when a shot by Simon Friel beat the Na Rossa ‘keeper, but was well cleared by corner back Daniel Melly.Urris managed to get their noses in front once again with points from Alan Friel and Sean Paul Doherty, however JP McCready was once again on hand to level the scoring.Na Rossa ‘keeper Gallagher was called into action once again, saving a shot by Brian Doherty. The danger was not cleared however, as Simon Friel was first to latch onto the save and volleyed the ball past Gallagher, but the defence was on hand to clear the ball from the line. The clearance again went straight to an Urris player, this time Sean Paul Doherty, who was only able to manage a point. Another lucky escape however for Na Rossa.The equaliser came from JP McCready who sent the ball over the bar from close range just before the hour. Urris will travel to Na Rossa for the second round, date and time to be confirmed.Urris: Jonathan Noone, Sean Doherty, Sean McDaid, Patrick Doherty, Martin Kelly, Dara Doherty (0-1), Michael Kelly, Liam Diver, Brian Doherty, Alan Friel (1-1), Peter Devlin (0-1), Mark McLaughlin, Michael Harkin (0-1), Simon Friel (1-0), Sean Paul Doherty (0-1)Sub: Phil Pat Doherty (Devlin)Na Rossa: Michael Gallagher, Daniel Melly, Brian Breslin, Shane Melly, Peter Gallagher, Martin Bonner, Trevor Melly, JP Breslin (0-1), Donal Trimble, Caolan Devenney, JP McCready (0-7), Ryan McCready, Odhran Gallagher (0-1)Subs: Damien Melly (Devenney), Shane McCready (Peter Gallagher), Paul Byrne (Ryan McCready)
