Massive boost for ’Bridge as O'Meara passed fit

THERE is good news for Sixmilebridge as they prepare to take on Mount Sion in next Sunday's AIB Munster club hurling championship final at Semple Stadium, Thurles.

The All-Ireland minor medal winner in 1997, John O'Meara, was last night passed fit to take his place on the Clare champions' side for the provincial showdown, which promises to be a classic .

Classy corner forward O'Meara, who has been suffering from a groin injury, came on as a substitute in the Clare county final and scored the crucial goal, which steered The Bridge, on the path to victory over Clarecastle.
