Thanks to a superb win over Clonlara on Sunday, Broadford have secured their place in the U21B final next weekend.
Broadford were four points ahead (1-06 to 1-02) just before half-time then two goals less than two minutes apart from James Vaughan gave Broadford a commanding 10 point lead as the teams headed off the field.
No win is secure though until the final whistle blows and although Broadford were never in any real bother during the second-half, Clonlara fought back hard and dented Broadford’s lead by four points without reply in the first ten minutes.
Thanks largely though to a robust defence by Broadford’s back lines which kept Clonlara from scoring additional goals in the second-half, Broadford maintained the lead throughout to secure victory with a final score of 3-11 to 1-10.
Every player fought hard throughout this game and showed true spirit and commitment.
