Mitchels stun St Brigid’s in fiery thriller

St Brigid’s 2-12 Castlebar Mitchel's 3-13 (aet)

To think, they could have been playing for mere pride but for Ciaran Naughton denying St Brigid’s a second goal in the 16th minute. Had Cathal McHugh’s palmed attempt beaten him and they gone seven points down, the game might well have been beyond the underdogs.

At half-time, the Mayo champions had registered just two scores, Danny Kirby’s goal the only one coming from play, and trailed by five points, 1-6 to 1-1.
