Just 10 minutes later Edwin Healy had the home team on level terms when he scored with a good shot from outside the box. Trevor Creed put Bridge back in front 10 minutes before the interval to leave it 2-1 at half-time.
The Bridge took complete control in the second-half and with better finishing could have been in double figures. Noel O’Brien got their third on 55 minutes with a good strike from just outside the box. Trevor Creed made it 4-1 on 65 minutes, and Noel O’Brien finished the scoring 10 minutes from the end with a fine strike from the edge of the area.
