Clarinbridge vs. Loughrea…….
On the 21/11/10 Clarinbridge took to the field to play 'hot favourites' Loughrea in the county final replay. There was a massive crowd and a great atmosphere both before and during the match. We can’t forget about the referee falling as he threw in the ball!
There was top class skill, determination and aggression shown by both sides, with every ball fought for until the bitter end. There were great scores throughout the game. At half time the score was Clarinbridge 6 points to ‘the Town’s’ 7 points. As the second half got under way Mark Kerins scored from two frees for Clarinbridge. At this stage, it looked like they had their mojo back. Clarinbridge fought for the ball to the bitter end and managed to end ordinary time in a draw.
It went on to extra time and following tense words from Michael Donoghue in the dressing room, Clarinbridge came out with an amazing performance which blew Loughrea away. At half time of extra time they had their talk and Clarinbridge again gave an amazing performance in the second half with Mark kerins getting the score of the match. The whistle was blown and a huge crowd ran out onto the pitch to congratulate the victorious Clarinbridge team. Paul Callannan lifted the Tom Callannan cup to great excitement. The team visited the school on Tuesday and thankfully gave us no homework, which doesn’t happen too often! It was a great day for Clarinbridge people,
one we will never forget!
Up the bridge!!!!!!
Scores on the day were; Mark Kerins 8 points, Paul Ceon 4, Barry Daly 2, Stephen Forde, Eoin Forde, Alan Kerins and Shane Burke all scored one point.
