Tulla United A - 2

Bridge United A - 4 

2 goals in the opening quarter set the Bridge on their way to a solid victory against Tulla in miserable weather conditions on Sunday morning. 

Despite the heavy rain the home pitch was in good condition and a credit to the hard working Tulla groundsmen.  

The opener came on 11 minutes when Gavin Whyte turned in Darren Murphys cross from the left. 

Christy Griffen made it 2 on 13 minutes when he rifled home Kieran Quinlans cut back from a free from  the right.

The visitors were guilty of not putting the game to bed with O'Connor, Fahy and Golden all unlucky not to extend the lead. 

Tulla were right back in it on 31 minutes when Niall Whelan picked up a loose pass 35 yards from goal and fired an unstoppable shot over Brennan in the Bridge goal. 

Bridge however responded immediately when Fahy got away from Whelan from a long Brennan punt and his shot from edge of the box was deflected over the Tulla keeper.  

Tulla started much the brighter in second half and their spirited efforts were rewarded on 62 minutes when Niall Whelan got his second following a goalmouth scramble. 

Bridge secured the victory on 82 minutes when Fahy was put through on goal by substitute Maxwell to cooly finish from 8 yards.
