2006 Shield Champions

19 March 2006

Thomastown United A ended 25 years of disappointment and underachievement by finally winning one of the three major trophies in the local game. A 3-1 victory over Lions of Durrow in the final of the Pat Maher Shield on St. Patricks Day 2006 ended a barren streak stretching back to 1981. 1-0 up at halftime though a Sean Brennan goal scored just before halftime, United were pulled back level with 15 minutes to go. With Lions pressing hard for a winner, United clawed out out a victory with further goals from Brendan Grace and Sean Brennan to kick start a great weekend in Thomastown.
