Bridge Celtic 1
Shannon Town A 3
Venue: Bridgetown
Shannon Town made it 3 from 3 in the Premier to stay top of the table with a well deserved win against fellow promoted club Bridge Celtic at Bridgetown on Sunday.
In difficult playing conditions Town settled the better of the two sides and should have taken the lead when Kieran Hackett’s shot lacked enough power after being put through one on one by Robbie wall. Both teams exchanged half chances in a tight first half which ended scoreless.
The second half was full of goals starting with Josh Lydnsey who got in behind the Celtic defence and slotted home passed the keeper after fifty five minutes. Bridge Celtic equalised a few minutes later when a free kick caused problems and was headed in over Paudie Hickey in the Town goal.
Shannon Town kept pushing and were rewarded with a cracking strike from Chris Lake who volleyed home from 25 yards following a headed defensive clearance. They secured all three points when Lydnsey was taken down in the box and John Allen duly converted the penalty. Josh Lyndsey, Evan Glynn, Kieran Hackett and Jack Kelly were best for the winners.
Shannon Town: Paudie Hickey, John Allen, Brian O Donoghue, Darren Griffin, Chris Lake, Andrew Russell, Jack Kelly, Evan Glynn, Rob Wall, Josh Lyndsey, Kieran Hackett. Subs: Derek Byrne for Darren Griffin, Sean Burke for Kieran Hackett, David Cove for Josh Lyndsey, Mick O Connell for Rob Wall
