Reigning champions Sixmilebridge got this year’s campaign off to a winning start at Cusack Park on Saturday afternoon when they defeated Ennis’ Éire Óg by 0-17 to 0-12 in an entertaining game of hurling. Despite losing Alan Mulready to a red card in the 36th minute, the Bridge managed to replicate last year’s quarter-final triumph over the same opposition.
