Local Darby ends level

Senior Football League

Shannonbridge 0-12
Doon 1-9

Shannonbridge locked horns with local rivals Doon on Saturday evening last and after a late rally the Bridge finished level with their near neighbours.

Doon started the game well with James Couchlan showing some blistering pace to run in a ball on the the bridge goal and crashed a great goal to the back of the net.

It was not until the second half that the blue and gold men got to grips in sectors such as midfield and the half back line. With Jim Killeen using his experience to weather the Doon storm and was well assisted by Mel Darcy on the other wing.

Upfront Richie Browne and Shane Kelly were the pick of the pack with the two lads showing their best form all season.
The Bridge launched attack after attack from the half back line and got their just reward when the sides finished level on the final whistle.
