Bridge United A 3 Shannon Olympic A 0

A strong second half secured all 3 points for Bridge United in this Premier League game played in bright but cold conditions on Sunday morning. 

Although dominating possession in opening period it was Olympic who came closest to opening the scoring when Declan McDonald's effort was brilliantly cleared off the line by Steve Carroll.

Just before the break Olympic keeper Ruairi Price did well to hold onto Kevin Kellys effort from long range. 

The deadlock was broken on 48 minutes when Alex Cole challenge on Christy Griffin led to a penalty which was coolly slotted home by Rob Wall. 

Jon Okoro added a second on 60 mins when he turned and volleyed home from the edge of the box. 

Following a period of Olympic dominance Okoro added his second following great work from Chris Lake down the left. 

Team: John Mulready,  Steve Carroll,  Eoin Guinan,  Darren Murphy,  Noel Collins, Rob Wall, Darragh Fitzgerald,  Kevin Kelly,  Christy Griffen,  Brian O'Connor,  Jon Okoro 

Subs: Chris Lake for Guinan, Jon Downes for Collins,  Jay Whyte for Kelly
