Bradshaw, Adebayo and Tattersall share the goals against Ashbourne

Three different scorers and a 3-1 win under the lights. Level at half time, in front a minute after it, and 27,170 home on the tram before ten.

Connor Bradshaw opened the scoring on 20 minutes, a low shot from the edge of the box after Archie Coulson’s cut-back. Declan Tierney levelled for Ashbourne five minutes before the break with their only shot on target of the half.

Kwame Adebayo’s header on 46 minutes put us back in front, and Callum Tattersall made it safe on 64, turning in a Pennington free kick at the far post. Castlebridge had 53 percent of the ball and 15 shots to Ashbourne’s nine.

“The first goal after half time is always the big one,” Joe Clayton said. “We got it inside a minute. After that the lads could play.”
