Tipperary Town 1 -2 Old Bridge


Old Bridge continued their recent revival as they gave themselves a great chance of an escape from the relegation trap door that seemed improbable only a few short weeks ago with a win against fellow strugglers Tipperary Town, who will now be really aware of that ever-likely descent into the Second Division.
It was a quiet first half, with both teams cagey and players reluctant to make a mistake, given the high stakes nature of the game. Despite a few half-chances for both sides, neither really threatened the opposing ‘keeper and the game went to the break all square without a goal.
The second period livened up very quickly and the visitors opened the scoring when Jake Mulcahy headed home from a corner after ten minutes.


Within eight minutes the home side were level courtesy of a stunning volley from Jordan Cummins, and throughout the rest of the half both sides really went hard, looking for that all- important third goal.
