Sixmilebridge 3-18 Clonlara 0-19 Venue: Wolfe Tones GAA Grounds, Shannon

The old cliche of goals win games was very true in this instance as the Bridge with 3 majors over the hour ran out 8 point winners over Clonlara.

The game was only twenty five seconds old when Cathal Lynch pointed for the Bridge, quickly followed by a superb Brian Corry touchline score. Dylan McMahon then landed a monster Clonlara point from inside his own half giving us three points in ninety seconds.

Just before the interval a moment of magic occurred when David Kennedy played a handpass to Shane Golden who buried the sliotar to put the Bridge ahead on a score of 1-08 tpo 0-09 at half time.

Second half goals from Brian Corry and a Shane Golden free ensured the Bridge recorded their fourth win on the trot to top the group.
