Seniors
The seniors had to be content with a draw in Sunday’s game with St Michaels.Damian McCann got things going for the Bridge with two points in the first minute, and a Eugene Byrne goal and points from Damian, Eugene and Peter Burns gave the Bridge a two-point lead at the break.
Things did not go so well after the break as the Bridge conceded too many scorable frees and allowed the visitors notch up their scores.
The final score was Silverbridge 1-9, Newtown 0-12.
The team is away to Granemore for next Sunday’s match.
B Team
The B team were in fine form for last Wednesday night’s encounter with Killeavey in the Championship semi-final and progressed to the final where St Patricks will provide the opposition.It was a bitterly cold evening but the contest on the field kept the large crowd of spectators well entertained. The Bridge played into the stiff breeze in the first half and produced some good football to go in two points ahead at halftime. Killeavey had two points up before the Bridge got into gear with a Gary Quinn goal putting them a point ahead. Two points from Bernard Connolly and a point each from Paudie Cummiskey and Kieran Crummy consolidated that lead. Throughout this half Jarlath Burns won most of the ball at midfield and the Bridge forwards piled on the pressure, while the backs combined to deny Killeavey any advantage.
Killeavey got the first point of the second half but Jarlath Burns scored a point in reply. Killeavey crowded Jarlath in this half to try to keep the ball out of his grasp but he still made some great catches and interceptions and added another point to his tally later in the half. Kieran Crummy kicked some wonderful long range and difficult points as well as a goal in this half and Brendan McGuire also got his name on the scoreboard. The whole team worked hard and well together and were worthy of their five-point win. The final score was 2-12 to 1-10.
