St John Bosco Seniors
Intermediate Championship Quarter Final....Naomh Eoin Bosco 0-16 Bredagh 2-7
The senior team advanced to to the semi final of the Intermediate championship with a 3 point victory against Bredagh on Saturday evening in Pairc Esler. This fixture was a repeat of last years game at the same stage in the competition and as with that game, the Bosco lads gave Bredagh a head start by allowing them to go 1-2 to no score into the lead after 10 minutes. However the boys kicked into gear and went into the half time break leading by a point. The second half started well for the lads and they went into a 5 point lead with 10 minutes remaining but a defensive mix up allowed Bredagh to score a second goal and bring the lead down to 2 points. Despite this set back the player's kept their heads and ran out deserved winners.
This wasn't a vintage performance but at this stage of the competition the result is all that matters. Keep an eye on out Facebook page for details of the semi final draw which is due to take place in the next few days.
Wednesday 18th Ulster Celebration Night
The St John Bosco GAC social initiative is centre stage on Wed night at the Ulster celebration night in the Tyrone Centre of Excellence. Our winning 'seniors' team Felix Finnegan, Tom Tumilty, Peter Jackson and Mick Farrelly once again take to the road for a big away match. This group and their teammates over the last couple of years have clocked up many miles and big meetings including trips to the Aras (twice), Croke Park Conference, Eucharistic Conference, Armagh Gaol, St Peter's Belfast (St John Bosco relics), a series of social history nights as well as carrying out the Offertory Procession at our Club Mass every year. Not a bad track record for people who are supposed to be retired and taking things easy!
