St Brigid’s see off gallant Gaels to keep drive for five alive

St Brigids’ "drive for five" remains intact after a comfortable victory against last year’s beaten finalists, Western Gaels, in yesterday’s Roscommon SFC semi-final at Dr Hyde Park.

The 2013 All-Ireland champions were five points behind after 14 minutes but turned things around in emphatic fashion to reach another county final.

Derek Moran’s 14th minute goal propelled the underdogs into a 1-3 to 0-1 lead but Brigid’s slowly worked their way back into proceedings, courtesy of points from Senan Kilbride (two frees and one from play), Frankie Dolan (a free) and Adrian Gleeson to trail by a point at the break.
