Tarbert 0.05 v Brosna 0.08
Report by Mairead O Sullivan

This game was played in Tarbert with a strong breeze which made scoring difficult for both teams. With Tarbert playing a very defensive hand passing system, with a sweeper in the first half and a two man full forward line score's were impossible to come by as every time the ball was kicked into the square it was brought straight out again by Brosna's defence. Tarberts only score of the half came from a free converted in the 29th minute by corner forward Gerald OSullivan. In contrast playing against the breeze Brosna tried hard to break Tarberts 13 man defence, but could not manage a score from play, only managing to convert two awarded free's in the 7th and 22nd minutes by wing forward Tom McGoldrick Half time score Brosna 0.02 - Tarbert 0.01

Second half starts with Brosna first on the scoreboard in the 4th minute when full forward David Curtin split the posts, it took until the 9th minute for Tarberts reply when Gerald OSullivan converted a free. In quick reply 40 seconds later Brosna's Adam Barry pointed. In the 11th minute Brosna's Tom McGoldrick converted a free, Again the blanket defence was evident when it took until the 15th minute for the next score which came from wing forward Ambrosse Langan Tarbert, Brosna started to take control in this half and from the kickout mid feilder Shane Curtin won possession laid the ball off only to take the return and fired the ball over the bar in the 18th minute. Tarberts man of the match Ambrosse Langan again pop up to split the posts in the 21st minute. Brosna went on to score two more points both from the boot of Tom McGoldrick in the 27th and a free in the 31st minutes. Full time score Brosna 0.08 - Tarbert 0.05
