Antrim Hurling League – Division 3

St Brigid’s 4-15 Con Magees 0-20

Naomh Bríd secured their first win of the league campaign with a commanding performance against reigning Antrim Junior Hurling champions Glenravel at Musgrave Park on Sunday

The home side made a bright start, with Brian McGurk and James Kelly setting the tone early on by registering some excellent points. Naomh Bríd’s attacking intent paid off when David Prenter delivered a superb ball across goal to Cathal Conway, who finished emphatically at the back post for his first goal of the game.

Naomh Bríd continued to apply pressure throughout the opening half, and just before the interval, Conn Flannery showed great awareness to intercept a stray Glenravel pass and split the posts, extending the advantage.

Naomh Bríd 2-8 Glenravel 0-8

Glenravel responded well after the break, with Conleth O’Loan striking three points in succession to reduce the deficit. However, James Kelly proved vital for Naomh Bríd, maintaining their momentum with a series of accurate scores from placed balls.

A key moment came with the introduction of Fionn McCann, who made an immediate impact by turning over possession deep in the Glenravel defence. The ball broke to David Prenter, who made no mistake in finding the net to give Naomh Bríd further breathing room.

Glenravel pushed hard in the closing stages and were awarded a penalty with just two minutes remaining, but their effort sailed over the bar, summing up a frustrating day in front of goal.
