Boys underage;
National Automation and FAAC Minors had an impressive win last week. There was
a change to original fixture as that their opponents Kilglass/St Barrys
conceded late on in the day. St Aidans obliged by bringing forward their
fixture against Boyle. Boyle were in control from the start and there was some sublime
points being scored by our lads. The lads ran out clear winners on a dark
evening in Abbey Park to win the game 2-18 to 1-07. Well done lads and coaches.
Tough luck to the U14 boys, who were narrowly beaten by Western Gaels in
Frenchpark last week. Western Gaels started the brightest and registered a very
early goal to put Boyle under pressure for the rest of the first half.
Western Gaels went in at half time with a 5 point lead. Boyle came out at
half time a better team and steadied their ship. Boyle got themselves on level
terms and then led by point in the mid way stages of the 2nd half. Both teams
traded the lead for the rest of game, but Gaels shaded it in the end with a
slim one point margin in this division 1 encounter. Western Gaels 3-04
Boyle 1-09.
