Solid Start for Broadford U21's

​Broadford secured their place in the second round of the U21 B Championship with an eight point win over Éire Óg on Saturday 9th March in Newmarket-on-Fergus. With both teams finding their feet in the first-half, Broadford did well to hold off their opponents until the last ten-minutes of first-half play when a point and a goal for Éire Óg helped them to leave the field with a four point advantage; Broadford having been unlucky not to convert two goal scoring opportunities in to points on the board.
 
Broadford came back on to the field for second-half ready to turn the game around after an early free for Niall O’Brien and a goal from Sparky Whelan, pulled from the ground, levelled the score in the first few minutes. Éire Óg responded quickly with a point from play but Broadford dominated for the next 15 minutes and a goal from substitute Shane Tuite helped to bank Broadford a healthy lead. A goal for Éire Óg in the 24th minute reduced the deficit but at this stage it was too late and Broadford went on to end the second-half as it had started with a point from a free from Niall O’Brien to secure the final victory. Full Time Score Broadford: 2-16 Éire ÓG: 2-8
