Junior B League, Division 5c, Round 2

Venue, Cappa Lodge

Date, 29th April 2022


Sixmilebridge 1-16

Clooney Quin 2-9


The Junior B 4th Team ground out their 2nd win in succession on Friday night against Clooney Quins 3rd team. A well contested game right up to the final whistle, there were some heated moments which only illustrated each sides desire to win, but ultimately it was a well fought battle.


Cappa Lodge was the venue and the pitch was probably in best condition it's ever been, so well done to the field team.


Captain Ronan Hayes led by example and was able to win primary possession on several occasions before laying off but unfortunately several goal chances went a begging.


With the 'Bridge trailing at halftime they had it all to do in the second half. A superb goal by Donald Devanney was a just reward for for the team's efforts having come close to scoring goals also through Stiofan Fitzpatrick whose shot was excellently save by the Clooney Quin keeper.


Conor Gilligan contributed a stunning point from midfield on the run and his never ending running and workrate set the tone for his team mates.


Tommy Liddy and Ronan Hayes contributed 3 points from play each, with Liddy working back to help out in the half back line also.


In defence Brian O' Loughlin was steady at full back on a very strong Clooney Quin full forward.


The last few minutes again were tense as Clooney Quin were only one then two behind before the Bridge finished our the game as 4 point winners.


That's two wins on the trot now for Mikey Corbett's team with the next outing on Monday evening at home to Ogonnolloe.
