The Division 4 gave and outstanding display in the Junior B Championship against Glenavy at Glenavy’s home pitch. Played on a fantastic surface Naom Brid controlled this game from start to finish where man of the match Jimmy King top scored with 3-7 in an exhibition of finishing.
The foundation for the victory was laid with a strong defensive performance and again the dominance of the midfield pairing of Paddy McDonald and Connall Mullary. They were ably assisted by Frank O’Neill, Stephen Walker, Conor McHendry and John McKeever in defence whilst Niall Mc Donald and Paul McCrudden ensured Glenavy only could live on scraps around the middle.
Despite being ahead 4-7 to 1-3 at half time the Brigid’s men continued strong in the second half and finished comprehensive winners on a final score 5-17 to 2-5.
