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. |
