Kevin Downes drives Na Piarsaigh on
Trailing by nine points at the change of ends (1-3 to 1-12), the Bridge couldn’t match the intensity and conviction of the Limerick champions who, with a strong wind to their backs, wrestled control.
Central to the revival in this quarter-final clash was Kevin Downes at full-forward. Man-of-the-match in the county final, his ball-winning ability is almost impossible to curtail. Within four minutes of the restart he had fired 1-1 and had another shot stopped by Derek Fahy.
