The first team in action were our U21 side who took on Ballyea in the championship semi-final replay at Clarecastle. Another exciting tie was again served up by these two with Sixmilebridge advancing to meet prevailing by 1-13 to 0-14 win. An early Alan Mulready goal gave us a 1-6 to 0-6 interval lead before Ballyea eventually fought back to level the match after 55 minutes. Once again the match went down to the wire with two points from Alex Morey near the end giving the Niall Gilligan managed team the victory.

Senior
After three rounds of the Clare Cup our senior team are still without a win after suffering a 4-14 to 1-08 defeat at the hands of Éire Óg last Saturday. The 'Bridge were without a number of regulars on the day which gave a chance for others to stake a claim for a starting berth but it proved to be an afternoon to forget in Ennis. The home team were 3-09 to 0-03 ahead at the break and never relinquished this commanding lead with Kevin Lynch netting for the visitors.

Paul Corbett notched a hat trick in the opening half to supplement the 3-6 to 1-04 lead at the break and Sean Lynch raised another green flag in the second period.
