It was another good weekend of adult hurling in the club with 2 wins from 3 games. Our Junior Bs had a bye in round 1 of the Junior B championship and our 5th Team, the Junior Cs will see their first action of the year on the next hurling weekend, the 7th/8th September where a little bit of history will be created when the club fields a 5th adult hurling team for the first time.
Seniors Our Seniors made it 2 from 2 with a victory over Crusheen on Saturday in Clarecastle. Having been behind for most of the game, the Bridge side persevered and with a big impact from the bench saw the game out as 2 point winners. Their final game will be against Newmarket and victory in this game will ensure qulaification for the quarter finals.

Junior As Sixmilebridge 0-9 Scarriff 0-14
Venue - Bodyke Referee - Gus O' Callgahan
Our Junior As were out in action in a blustery and wet Ogonnoloe, the East Clare venue hosting the meeting of the Bridge and Scarriff. A tough physical game saw Scarriff reduced to 14 men at the end of the first half but they led by 8 points at the break. A spirited fightback in the second half saw the Bridge create oppurtunities but could not capatilise on the scoreboard. In the end Scarriff ran ot as winners by 5 points. It means that the final game against Ennistymon is a must win game to have a chance of promotion.
