Gracefield 1-7

Shannonbridge can count themselves lucky to record this victory over a visiting Gracefield team when the blue and gold managed to claw back the game in the dying minutes played in Shannonbridge on Sunday last.

The bridge welcomed back Fergal Mcevoy to their starting line up for the first time this season and he opened the scoring for with two fine points.

Gracefield then proceeded to cancel out McEvoys scores, the bridge then enjoyed a dominant spell in the centre and extended their lead with points from Paul Deeley and Anthony Kelly.

With Five minutes remaining in the first half Gracefield were reduced to Fourteen men and the Bridge went in to the break with 0-7 to 0-3 lead.

Gracefield despite been down a man fought back and brought the sides level when they converted a penalty to leave the sides level with only minutes remaining.

However Shannonbridge were not finished yet and when the pressure was on, Jason Kelly won some precious posseion and Fergal McEvoy slotted over an excellent point to put the bridge back in front and the comeback was finished off by Paul Deeley who Cooly slotted over a difficult free to secure the points for the Bridge.

Shannonbridge's victory was marred however by losing Donal Claffey through a serious knee injury. The club wish Donal a speedy recovery and hope he will return at some stage for Championship duty.
