Shannonbridge GAA Club

Intermediate Football Championship.
Shannonbridge put in a good team performance to get their campaign back on track, with a six point win over Birr, in Cloghan, on Friday last. Playing with the aid of a diagonal breeze, Declan Kelly opened the scoring with a point from a Paul Deeley pass. Birr equalised in the fourth minute and as Shannonbridge set about increasing their lead a couple of Birr attacks brought smart saves from Liam Griffin. Shannonbridge scores followed from Kieran Kearns, Peadar Kelly, Philip Egan and three from Deeley to leave the interval score 0-8 to 0-2.
On the resumption, Shannonbridge raced into an eleven point lead by the tenth minute. However, a Birr revival saw them score 1-4 without reply, in a five minute spell, to close the gap to four points, with twelve minutes remaining. Their progress was stopped by a well taken goal from Harry Kearns and the game finished 1-13 to 1-7.
Team: L. Griffin, P. Moloney, N. Price, M. Darcy, P. Kelly (0-2), D. Corbett, S. Flannery, C. Killeen, J. Egan, P. Deeley (0-6), K. Kearns (1-2), P. Egan (0-1), W. Keena, D. Kelly (0-2), K. Flannery. Subs: T. Mahon and R. Ryan.
