Blanket defence alive and well in Derry’s intermediate league with incredible half time score

What’s the score?

One each.

No, the score in the football.

One each.

The GAELIC football?

ONE EACH!

They were being served up a cracker in Derry as Moneymore and Slaughtmanus played out a humdinger in the intermediate league.

Two scores in 30 minutes was the lot for anyone who went along to watch the Division Two clash.

Former Donegal full back and club mate of Jim McGuinness, Paddy Campbell, took over Slaughtmanus in the off-season and, having managed Glenties, Steelstown, and Castledawson beforehand, has been known for his ability to implement a solid defensive structure that makes his teams damn hard to beat.

It might also have made this game hard to watch.

We don’t know – there weren’t many more updates. Why would there be?

The game really opened up in the second period though and it was Moneymore who clinched the victory, winning 0-6 to 0-5 in the end.
