Inch Crusaders 5
BRIDGE United B took the lead in their Second Division tie when Michael McNamara scored but by half-time, Inch Crusaders were 2-1 in front, following goals from Padraig Talty, after good work by Conor Neylon and Rory O’Connor respectively.
Bridge put on a lot of pressure early in the second half but a great run from Sean Talty on 55 minutes from one end of the field to the other was rewarded for Inch when a Bridge defender put the ball into his own net while trying to clear.
Inch captain Mark Connellan got in on the scoring on 68 minutes with a powerful free kick from outside the box that flew into the top-left corner. James Rynne rounded off the victory for Inch on 90 minutes after finishing well to the left corner from a through ball from Neylon.
