Senior championship

Crookedwood 2-15 St.Brigids 0-17.  A vastly improved performance in Round 2 of the championship secured a precious, hard earned victory over a tough St.Brigids side. Clashes between the two have always been close and this recent encounter was no different. Our opponents had the better of the first half exchanges and led by three at the break. But the lads were determined not to let this one go without a fight and played good, determined hurling in the second half. A fortuitous Shane McGovern goal at the start of the second half turned the game in our favour. We drew us level with 12 minutes to go and a fine team goal finished by Adam Bate, along with two points from play put us five clear in the closing stages. Both sides traded points in the closing minutes, but we held on for a crucial victory to keep our quarter final chances alive. Team; Alan O’Mara, Damien Grifferty, Seamus Savage, John Kiernan, Kevin Orme, Feichín Óg Brennan, Ciarán Bawle, Eddie Nally, Brian McLoughlin (0-1), Conor Savage (0-2), Shane McGovern (1-3), Simon McCarthy, Brendan McCarthy (0-1), Ian McGovern (0-2), Barry O’Mara (0-6). Subs used; Johnny Nally for S.McCarthy (inj), Antoin Savage for C.Bawle, Adam Bate (1-0) for C.Savage, Ger Brennan for I.McGovern.
