Setanta hold out for thrilling success
SETANTA 1-3
COOTEHILL 1-2
JUST hours before St Brigid’s recorded their historic Division 1 triumph at Jones’s Road, Setanta ensured that they weren’t the only Dublin victors, as they narrowly overcame Cootehill in a thriller.
The Ballymun men had that little bit extra throughout and were able to hold out for a hard-earned, but deserved success.
