Offaly SF Tournament

Shannonbridge 2-9
Erin Rovers 3-8

Shannonbridge will be disappointed with this defeat
from rivals Pullagh in the first round of this new
knockout Offaly Tournament Played in Shannonbridge on
Sunday last.

The Bridge got off to a great start when Jason Kelly
skipped by two Rovers defenders to plant the ball in
the top corner of the net.

Moments later Kelly grabed the ball to score a second.
Erin Rovers fought back and there was little between
the sides at the interval.

Shannonbridge will be concerned that they kicked nine
wides in the first half, and also the amount of basic
ball handling errors which will have consequences for
any team at Senior level.

SFC
The Bridge will travel to Killeigh to take on
Bracknagh in a crucial decider on Sunday evening next
at 6.30. Shannonbridge must win this game in order to
avoid relegation.

However if the Shannonsiders can win and other results
go our way the Bridge will still have a chance of
going back into a three way play off, to remain the
Championship.

The Club hope for a good support on the day from the
Parish.

Well Done
