Longwood 1-09 St Brigids 0-15

St Brigids travelled to Longwood on Sunday morning for Round three of the League in cold but dry conditions.

St Brigids started strongly with two points before the hosts nabbed a point followed by a goal and from there in a scrappy half ensued with mistakes from each side but Brigids were more efficient on the scoreboard leading at the break 0-10 to 1-05.

The second period seemed to follow the same narrative as scores were at a premium with ourselves notching five points to Longwoods four to run out victors on a three point advantage, 1-09 to 0-15.

Special mention to Padraig Plunkett who stood firm at the heart of our defence turning many of the Longwood attacks into offence driving forward at every opportunity and grabbing a point just as the game was starting to turn in Longwoods favour.

St Brigids. Darragh Moore; Tommy Russell, Mark Gibney, Oisin Smith; Leo McCann, Padraig Plunkett (0-01), Ciaran Russell; Michael Flood (0-02), Dylan Scully; Luke Blake (0-01), Cormac Browne (0-6), Fergal Ingram (0-01); Conor Russell (0-03), Rory Collins (0-01), Ivan Carroll. 

Subs. Bobby Masterson for Oisin Smith, Shane Gilsenan for Fergal Ingram and AJ Gilsenan for Conor Russell.
