Wexford CBS………………………………………………….3-10
Bridgetown VC……….…….…………………………………0-8
History was made as Wexford CBS played their first championship game in the club grounds of St. Mary’s Maudlintown at the Rocks and they were made work every bit of the way to secure the win by a very determined Bridgetown side.
It was the visitors who took a firm control of the game and stormed into a 0-5 to 0-1 lead after 25 minutes with two pointed frees, a converted ’65 and two from play. All CBS could muster was a pointed free from Glen Murphy-Butler as all over the field the home side were outmuscled and outworked.
However, CBS got a welcome break when they grabbed two quick goals just before the break from a rocket of a ground shot by Adam Feery and Ruairi Fenlon also found the net.
So Wexford CBS retired with a 2-1 to 0-5 half-time lead which they hardly deserved. The third quarter was edgy as each side exchanged points so that it was 2-5 to 0-8 entering the last 15 minutes. In the 47th minute, Josh Shiel’s long distance shot deceived the Bridgetown keeper and ended up in the net and this seemed to break their resistance.
Glen Murphy-Butler stepped up and slotted four points in a row including a beautiful strike from a side-line ball to leave CBS winners by 11 points.
CBS finish top of the group and have earned a home quarter-final to be played after the Easter holidays.
