GAA News from PRO Jason Mahon

Division 1 football league, Shannonbridge 0-12 Ferbane 2-06, 08/7/08

On Tuesday evening last, Shannonbridge entertained a Ferbane team looking to exact revenge for their 6 point defeat at the hands of a very determined ‘Bridge side. The concession of 2 goals in the first 5 minutes did not help Shannonbridge’s cause but with David Corbett (0-4) at full-forward to the fore, they fought back to level the scores 0-9 to 2-3 at the interval.

The second half was a much more tense affair, over-all sloppy play from both sides and a lot of wides kicked ended up with county player Jason Kelly pointing from a ’45 with the last kick of the game to give Shannonbridge a deserved share of the spoils.

Team: D Kelly, W Keena, P Maloney, M Darcy, K Flannery (0-1), K Kearns, D Turley, J Kelly (0-3), J Ryan, J Egan, A Kelly, P Egan, S Flannery (0-1), D Corbett (0-4) & P Deeley (0-2).

Subs: C Duffy (0-1) for A Kelly, C Corbett for S Flannery, D Finn for P Egan and Cheesy Kelly.
