Under 12 Final: We take on Doohamlet next Thursday evening in the final of the under 12. Thrown in is at 6.45 in Aughnamullen. All support is needed as these boys try to bring the first piece of silverware back to Corduff this year.

 Intermediate Football League: We play Aughnamullen this Sunday in Corduff at 12.30.

 Reserve Championship: Our semi final against Clontibret took place last night. See report next week.

 Intermediate Football Championship: We took on Cremartin in the Championship last Sunday evening. Corduff went ahead early on thanks to some free taking from Mark Gilsenan in the 1^st, 7^th and 13^th minute. The scores were level in the 23^rd minute after Cremartin scored 3 unanswered points. A free won by Shane Mc Nally Jnr and converted by Mark Gilsenan in the 30^th minute meant Corduff went in with the minimum of margins at half time. Half Time Score Corduff 0-04 Cremartin 0-03.

The sides were level again in the 5^th minute before a brilliant worked goal from Louis King gave Corduff some breathing space. The two teams exchanged points in the closing stages and with some hard work from Shane Mc Nally Jnr, Ciaran Brennan and Gerry Mee Corduff stayed ahead for the remainder. Final Score Corduff 1-08 Cremartin 0-09.
