Aidan Owens 3 minutes; Joe Brolly 4 minutes; James Loughrey 5 minutes; that made it three points each and all scores from play… a cracker looked in score.
Then, Duncan MacAuley 8; Joe Brolly 11, 18, 27, 30; Loughrey 30; all from play, heading for a rout?
Half Time: St Brigids 0 – 9
Cargin 2nds 0 – 4
2nd half; Brolley point 1; Niall McDonald goal 2; McDonald point 5; Gregory McGonigle 8 (great effort); Brolly free 12 (only one of the night); Deaghlan O’Hagan goal 13; Loughrey 14; Brolly 16; Paul McCrudden from corner back (that got him taken off as shot was from outside scoring zone) McDonald; Gareth Macklin (by now the author had stopped noting times or scorers); Ceelan McCrudden screamer of a goal. A rout.
Full Time: St Brigids 3 – 18
Cargin 0 – 4
Areas of interest:
– Pauls Finnegan and McCrudden looked like seniors again;
– An assured looking half back line and midfield;
– After giving a tutorial at training on shooting low and scoring ugly goals Brolly hit the crossbar from 5 yards;
– O’Hagan and McDonald scored two hideous goals, neither attended said training session;
– James found cure for wayward shooting… fist them over the bar, all three of them;
– Ceelan can score for the Seniors too;
– Mel MacSherry made debut as sub.
