Northern League 

The first competitive match of 2022 was played in Sunny conditions in Abbey Park against Michael Glaveys. A low-scoring first half all square at 2 points apiece, the game upped the intensity levels and finished with a flurry at 1.07 to Boyles 10 points. 6 coming from the boot of Colly Goldbrick.   Mark O’Connor looked to have kicked the winner on the stroke of full time, but Glaveys’ won a kickable free and levelled,  sending the game into EXTRA TIME, as it was a knockout game. However, both teams agreed to finish on penalties and Boyle won 3-2 with Rob Kearny saving twice. Colly  Goldrick, David Flanagan( on his debut), and Sean Purcell all scored from the spot.
