Ennis Town A - 0

Bridge United A - 2

Lees Rd was the venue for Sunday mornings Premier Division meeting of Bridge United and Ennis Town. In a tight opening quarter it was the visitors who retained the lions share of possession without creating any real clear cut opportunities. Ennis Town, well marshalled by veteran Daryl Eade, remained compact and sought to frustrate their opponents from the outset.

Bridge Utd began to probe and their best chance fell to Darragh Fitz who's effort cleared Ethan Kellys crossbar. Minutes later however, after a neat through ball, Mikey McNamara thundered a cracking effort into the top left hand corner of the hosts net. This seemed to settle a somewhat nervy opening 20mins. The scoreline stood at 1-0 at half time.

Ennis Town to their credit began the second half with renewed energy and belief, their best chance came from a 30yard strike from Shane Daniels that Mulready did well to beat away.
Eoin Guinan received his marching orders after two bookable offences on the hour mark. In a change of shape, Bridge Utd sprung for a 2nd just moments later, Derek Fahys header looping over the stranded Ennis Town goalkeeper. The closing stages saw Bridge Utd defend resolutely and counter well, missed chances cost them adding to their two goal haul with Kelly Fahy and Lake all going close. A hard fought game played on a heavy surface extends Bridge Utds lead at the summit of Clare's Premier League.
