Armagh SFC SF

Cross V Silverbridge

A wet and extremely blustery Athletic Grounds was the venue for our Senior Championship SF clash against neighbours, Silverbridge. Kevin Faloon was the man in the middle. We played against a strong breeze in the first half and both sides struggled with the driving rain which left conditions extremely difficult. At the first water break, the Bridge led, 0-2 to 0-1, Stephen Morris our point scorer. The second quarter, both sides had missed opportunities. Silverbridge converted a free with minutes remaining until the break and as the half drew to a close, two points one after another for us, Cian and Rian (F) left the game all square at the break.

Cross 0-3  Silverbridge 0-3

We were quick off the mark as play resumed, three points in as many minutes, Oisin , Caolan and Rian to give us the lead. Silverbridge then scored a point, narrowing the gap to two. Both sides traded points, Cian and Paraic Keating for the Bridge. As we headed for the second water break, two was still the difference. A super pass from Tony Kernan to Stringer who blasted the goal into the Bridge net left the score at the second water break;

Cross 1-7  Silverbridge 0-5

We took control of the game in the last quarter, seven points without reply, Cian (4, 2F), Rian (2, 1F) and Oisin (1) to seal the victory, Silverbridge slotted over a point in injury time.

Cross 1-14  Silverbridge 0-6
