The club Junior team travelled to Kilglass in Saturday evening for a double league an championship decider. Boyle had an astonishing panel of 29, whereas Kilglass could only field the mee 13. Boyles C Horan and Mark O Conner had to be left on the bench as a result. Boyle started the game the brighter and it was not long before the newbie Dublin native Sean Conlon bagged the first of his two goals. Boyle were lining up to take shots with Nall O Donoughue on song. However with space at the back due to a two man fullforward line, Boyle defenders were kept on their toes with Declan Mc Govern saving two goal chances and Conor Boylan doing th same at full back. Boyle took a ten point lead at half time. In the second half Boyle brought on their maximum of 6 subs and ended up comfortable winners 4.17 to 10.
