Bridge United A 5 Bridge Celtic 1

Following last weekends draw with Corofin Bridge A got back to winning ways in LIT on Sunday morning.  

United started very well and will and should have been in the lead in the opening stages with opportunities for Pewter,  Barrett and Mcnamara all unluckily denied. 

On 13 mins the deadlock was broken when Maxwell got on the end of Tommy Barretts searching ball to calmly slot away.  The Bridge doubled their lead on 21 mins through a Quinlan penalty after Pewter had been fouled in the box. 

Celtic got back in the game on 33 mins through Nicky O'Connell.

Bridge started the 2nd period strongly but had to wait until the 67 minute for their 3rd with Darren Murphy heading home from Quinlan corner. 

Substitute John Keogh made it 4 on 71 minutes with a very well worked team goal. The outstanding Eoin Guinan carried the ball out of defence before playing a one two with pewter and then feeding Quinlan who squared to Keogh to finish. 

Fitzgerald completed the scoring on 84 minutes when he won the ball in his own half and with the Celtic defence all forward for a corner he carried the ball through on goal before calming slotting home. 

Team: Paul Touhy,  Jay Whyte,  Eoin Guinan,  Darren Murphy,  Jonathan Downes,  Tommy Barrett,  Darragh Fitzgerald,  Trevor Maxwell,  Kieran Quinlan, Eoghan Pewter,  Mike Mcnamara 

Subs:Dan Larkin for Maxwell, Sean McDonald for Barrett,  John Keogh for Whyte,  Conn Agnew for J Downes,  Barry Downes for Quinlan
