Brilliant Bree United beat Shamrock Rovers to claim Division 3 crown
Bree United secured the Division 3 crown in fine style with a 3-0 victory over fellow title-challengers Shamrock Rovers in Macmine on Sunday. The hosts, managed by Wayne Dunne, Gavin Sludds and Enda Byrne, went ahead early in the second-half when Craig McDonald played in Anthony Butler, who fired the ball to the net. McDonald was again the provider as Butler grabbed his second just before the hour mark, drilling a confident finish to the bottom corner of the net. Substitutes Dylan Dalton and Larry Sludds combined to put the icing on the cake in injury-time, with the latter lifting the ball over the goalkeeper to kickstart the title celebrations. Bree United: Eric Kennedy; Craig McDonald, James Parle, Danny Fortune, Kevin Ring; Tommy Kennedy, Shane Murphy, Philip Walsh (capt.), Tony Ryan; Noel Roche, Anthony Butler. Subs. – Billy Dunne for Kennedy (60), Dylan Dalton for Murphy (66), Larry Sludds for McDonald (90+4), also Liam Rossiter, Luke Carr, Noah Goucher, Garret Doran.

Jamie Ronan, Pierce Murphy and Richard Murphy scored for the winners, while two own goals added to their tally. Seán Óg Doyle and Oisín O'Loughlin hit the back of the net for the visitors. However, with Bree sealing the deal on Sunday it meant Oylegate had to be content with runners-up spot. ADVERTISEMENT Meanwhile, Duncannon and Killenagh Wanderers shared the spoils after a 1-1 draw in Ryan's Park on Sunday. Barry Molloy gave the hosts the lead shortly before the break, but Seán Óg Doyle levelled matters seven minutes after the interval.

St. Joseph's 3 Killenagh Wanderers 2 Wexford People Today at 10:30 Jayden O'Leary headed home Seán Stamp's corner for an 87th-minute winner as St. Joseph's snatched the Wexford Football League Youths Division 4 title away from Killenagh Wanderers in Enniscorthy Astro on Thursday. The game had flowed this way and that, a microcosm of a crazy season as a whole, before the critical strike. The beauty of this contest was that neither had settled for extra-time after Luke Flynn's 76th-minute equaliser; both were going full bore for the win and it was St. Joseph's who prospered.
