31' AND WE ARE BACK UNDERWAY!
31' Paul Bradley strikes first in the second-period for St Brigid's
33' Bradley doubles his second-half tally and his personal game score to 0-4
34' That man again Bradley, completely dominating the opening stages of the second period.
38' GOAL! - St Gall's are not Dead Yet! Callum Walsh wins a fantastic flick on from Conn McFarlane who batted the ball into the path of his forward partner. Walsh rounded the keeper and thumped it into the net
40' Walsh scores again for St Gall's but this time his goal effort goes between the posts the forward should have let the net ripple but the momentum in the past few has swung in favour of the hosts.
43' Ronan Boyle calms the away bench after the Biddies held possession for a spell before the half-forward saw his space where he managed to get a score off.
47' Daniel Quinn scores a free from close range with the score-line once again reduced to four points
49' JJ Higgins strikes a score over the black spot as St Brigid's knock another on the scoreboard.

FULL-TIME - St Gall's 1-10 - 1-17 St Brigid's
The Biddies take the points after a dominant display against a sloppy St Gall's side could not handle the pressure on offer from the away side.
