Sixmilebridge seniors progressed after they beat Eire Óg 2-19 to 1-10.

This game was decided in the space of ten second half minutes, as recent county debutante Shane Golden struck two goals for the Bridge that put the tie to bed.

At half time they led 0-11 to 1-6, with Thomas Downes goaling for the Townies.

Just the minimum seperated the sides for much of the second half, but after Goldens goals, the Bridge pulled away to win comfortably.
