Sixmilebridge 2-17 Clonlara 0-19
As the old saying goes - 'twas a game of 2 halves.
Alex Morey was back on the edge of the square for the 'Bridge after injury and showed how vital he is to Sean Stacks team as he hit 2-9 as the Bridge turned around a 6 point half tie defecit to win by 4 points.
Clonara were the sharper team in the first half and lead at the short whistle on a score of 0-13 to 0-7. Eight players shared in the Clonlara first half tally with Micheál O’Loughlin contributing 0-4 of those.
The 'Bridge upped the ante in the second half and with Jamie Shanahan commanding at number 6 he launched attack after attack into the Bridge forwards with Alex proving a thorn in the side of the Clonlara full back line. The win makes it 3 wins from 4 for the Bridge lads putting them into second place in the league table.
