Three weeks after their last game, five weeks in the case of the 2nds, The St Brendans Football 1st XV, Sponsored by Dynamic Safety Solutions travelled to John McDonnell Memorial Park in Garristown, a frequently visited away venue by St Brendan’s to face a Garristown team who are at the same standard as St Vincents, who The Dark Force were comprehensively beaten 3-13 to 0-4 three weeks ago, giving Martin Ryan loads of nightmares

It looked like a similar scorline was on the cards this morning at Garristown, but thankfully, whatever nightmares Martin Ryan, or even the rest of the team had, never materialized against a side promoted from Division 6 last year. St Brendan’s put in a much improved performance in tackling, tacking back, contested work and turning over ball.

Despite losing 0-16 to 1-7, the fact that Eoghan Clogher didn’t concede a goal and all outfield players performed very well, the rebuilding process continues, Andy Moran scored the major and also got a point to his tally. Ryan, John Tuffy and Jonathan Melvin will no doubt have their eyes set on April, with a few players returning and hoping to pick up 2 W’s starting on April 14th against Crumlin.
