Senior Team
Silverbridge 0-12 St Michaels 0-10
The Senior Team played their first home game in the league against St Michaels. The home side started the game well and maintained a comfortable lead throughout the first half. They were 4 points ahead at the half time whistle 0-7 to 0-3. The opening minutes of the second half were dominated by St Michaels with them scoring two points in quick succession and at one stage there was only 1 point between the two sides. B Cumiskey made two great saves to keep the opposition at bay and a point scored by L Campbell after a brillant solo run gave the Bridge that extra edge needed to kill the game. The Bridge lads showed great team work and proved that they can hold their confidence when its needed most.
The team was: B Cumiskey, C Reel, P Hughes, A Mallie, S Murphy, C Conlon (0-1), B Byrne, N Treanor, L Campbell (0-2), K O Connell, R Crummie (0-1), P Cumiskey (0-1), R Griffin (0-2), C Lambe, E Byrne (0-3) Subs: T Mc Kenna (0-1), P Carragher and N Quinn (0-1)

Under 14's
Silverbridge 3-12 Grange 2-7
Congratulations to the U14 who won the Feile Final on Sunday evening. They beat Grange in a great game played in Newtownhamilton. The Bridge boys dominated throughout the game and played some spectacular football. A goal in the opening seconds of the game put the Bridge in the lead which was to remain the case until the final whistle. The half time score was 2-10 to 0-3 to the Bridge. Grange came into the game a bit more in the second half but were no match for the well trained, methodical Bridge side. This was a great acheivement for the young lads and their managers. The Bridge came so close in 1999 and 2000 as runners up but this was the icing on the cake for a great team. Well done lads!!!
