THE Junior Hurling League Final, which brought St. Brigids their first County Title, was another disappointment.

Broadford lost this game in the first half when they failed to avail of the assistance of a strong wind and allowed themselves to fall into a nine goal [sic] deficit, halftime score reading 1gl 5pts, to 5pts. In that period Broadford had plenty of chances but their attack failed to turn them into scores.

For ten minutes of the second half exchanges were even and little divided the sides but then in a purple patch that saw the three Connells add a succession of well taken scores, St. Brigids gained a clear advantage and in the last ten minutes were very much on top.

Best for the winners were Mick, Tommy and Jack O’Connell, Tommy Anderson, Eddie McDermott, Tommy Burke, Danny Rankins and Des Hipwell. Tom Moore, Michael Moore, Paddy Mangan, Mick McKeever and Teddy Gorman played well for the losers who were forced to line out short three of their best players.
