The Bridge exited the U21A Hurling Championship for the second year in a row against Eire Og on Tuesday night in the Clarecastle Astro. With the loss of 4 main players in the lead up to the game namely 2025 Clare Minor Jack O'Halloran, Man Marking Supremo Jack O'Haloran and 2 of our Senior hurlers in Matty O'Halloran and Dara Fitzgerald the Bridge were always going to be up against it. Martin Conlon and his management injected youth into the team with Cathal Ryan and Tommy Healy from this years minors and Conor Peacock from the 2025 minors getting the start.

On the flip side Eire Og lined out with 10 of last years team who reached the final and were able to call on their full hand of Senior hurlers who made a big impact on the game.

The townies led by 11 at the short whistle on a score of 0-14 0-3 iand maintained that lead for the Full time whistle to win 21 points to 10.
