Shannon keep hopes alive with easy win

Shannon Comprehensive 2-9

Short seven of their regulars, the principal reason being a flu bug, Youghal never looked like winning against a most resilient and compact Shannon team.

An exhibition of free-taking from stylish left half-forward Damien Browne, who scored seven points from placed balls, allied to two snap goals, courtesy of their twin-strike force of Eoin O’Brien and David Reidy, laid the foundations for a Shannon victory that keeps alive their hopes of qualifying for the knock-out stages.
