GARRYCASTLE 5-10 ST BRIGIDS 8-13

The 2020 Shield final was played last Sunday evening in Garrycastle and saw a more balanced St. Brigids team run out winners after a competitive game of football. The game started with a Garrycastle goal followed by 2 Brigids goals in quick succession. With the score at 2-3 to 1-0 Garrycastle hit the net for their 2nd goal. The score at the first water break was 3-4 to 2-1 in favour of the visitors. The first half of the 2nd quarter was all Garrycastle and they led by 4-3 to 3-4 briefly. Just before halftime Brigids regained the upper hand adding 3 goals to their tally to Garrycastles one point.

The 3rd quarter was competitive but Garrycastle were unable to reduce the deficit with 7 points between the sides at the 2nd water break. In the final quarter, the play of a tiring Garrycastle team became disjointed and they were outscored by 1-4 to 0-2. There were plenty of good football skills on show including good catching, kicking and blocking. Garrycastle players kicked some very good long range points. Garrycastle had strong players in the midfield area who dominated for periods but over the hour the more balanced St. Brigids team won out.
