A DOWNBEAT FRANCIE MARTIN said ‘nothing went right’ for his Naomh Colmcille side in yesterday’s IFC final against Bundoran.

A torrid afternoon left Naomh Colmcille 4-17 to 0-4 behind at the final shrill of the whistle whule Ryan McKinley and Joe Donaghy were red carded.

“Nothing went right at all,” Martin said.

“They put us unde pressure at the start. They got the headstart they wanted andthey’re that ,idn of team that can steamroll you – that’s what they did.

The problems seem to get worse. These things happen in football.”

It was a first-ever appearance in an Intermediate final for Naomh Colmcille, with several of yesterday’s team now looking ahead to an Under-21 ‘B’ semi-final.

Martin said: “We have a lot to learn, but hopefully we will learn.”
