Bergin hits goal trail to keep Roscrea rolling

Roscrea justified their favourites’ tag with a comprehensive 4-13 to 1-9 win over Cashel in the second round of the Tipperary SHC at Templemore last night.

Even without regulars Liam England and Darren O’Connor, Roscrea looked the better side. An early goal from Jamie Bergin got them moving and though Cashel’s Jonathan Grogan netted for his side shortly afterwards, Bergin grabbed a second goal in the 13th minute to keep Roscrea in control.

Cashel were doing reasonably well but on the stroke of half time Ethan Flynn punished slack Cashel defending with a third Roscrea goal and an interval lead of 3-7 to 1-6.
