 BRIDE ROVERS 0-16   -   ERINS OWN 1-10

Bride Rovers gained some revenge on Erins Own in this thrilling game of football. Erins Own opened the scoring with a point & this was quickly followed by a well taken goal. Bride Rovers corner back Pat Barry got a point back for the Rovers following an exchange of passes between Pat & Batt O'Connell (Full-back) inside the Erins Own half !!.

However Erins Own added another point. Rovers added further points from Terry Broderick, a great point kicked with his left foot, Donal Ryan & Nevin O'Regan but Erins Own responded with a score of their own each time. However just before the break a brace of points from the in-form Terry Brodericl left the minimum between the sides. Half-time score Bride Rovers 0-07 Erins Own 1-05.

Erins Own were first to score in the second half but the Rovers replied with a point from corner forward, Colm O'Keeffe. Again both Teams swapped scores with the Rovers points coming from Sean Ryan, a pointed free by Hugh Kelleher & another point by Colm O'Keeffe. The Rovers were now getting on top & were beginning to control the game with midfielders Padraig Murphy & Donal Ryan winning lots of possession. The backs were playing well too & the delivery intop the forwards was good. This certainly paid off as the Rovers went ahead with points from Sean Ryan, another from Colm O'Keeffe & Terry Broderick to put the rovers 3 points up. In the last few minutes Erins tried to get back on level terms with some points but a Brendan Walsh point followed by another two from Terry Broderick ensure a win for the Rovers.
