After playing with the wind in the first half our boys lead at the break by 8 points. However Burgess came out of the blocks the sharper in the second half and outscored us by 1-3 to 1 point to leave a goal between the sides entering the final quarter. However all our lads put their shoulder to the wheel and defending resolutely to see the game out and won by 4 points in the finish. Shane Hassett collected the Paddy Broderick cup from club chairman Austin Broderick on behalf of the Broderick family.
