Bridge could not answer the goal blitz
The old adage that goals win matches rang true in Ennis yesterday. Na Piarsaigh scored four while Sixmilebridge failed to raise a green flag. It wasn’t just the goals, either, but the timing of the goals that made all the difference. A peach of a through ball from Shane Dowling picked out Kevin Downes and he finished expertly past a stranded Derek Fahy in the first minute.
This opened the Limerick club’s account and set them on their way. It gave them a grip on the game in the first half that kept them at arm’s length from the Clare champions.
