St John Bosco Seniors
Kilcleif Ben Dhearg 2-11 St John Bosco 3-18
The seniors continued their winning ways on Friday night with a 10 point victory in Kilcleif. A victory of 10 points would have you believe that this was a straight forward win, however it was anything but. The lads had to fight hard for every score and showed great resolve when the home team came back to within a point, midway through the second half, to pull away again and record another win which makes it 5 wins from the last 5 games.
The next fixture for the boys is on Friday 7th June at 7.30 in Jack Mackin Park....all support welcome.

Bosco 6-11 Mitchels 1-14
Last Monday nights match was a home game to local rivals Mitchels. Not only were bragging rights at stake but to this point Mitchels were unbeaten.
Having lost the toss Bosco were against the wind in the first half. This proved to be a highly entertaining game with both sides giving their all. Mitchels made the first move with two long range points. However this Bosco side doesn't do panic and played their way back into the game with a goal from Kane Rossiter and a point from Ronan Murphy. Things were fairly even for most of the first half with Mitchels using the wind to tack on points. It has to be said though the Bosco defence were rock solid in terms of snuffing out any chance of a goal. Sean Rafferty and Glenn Hanna were solid in the full back line and Shane Mc Clorey outstanding in the half back line breaking up Mitchel attacks and launching counter attacks. Bosco midfielders Rory Mc Parland and Dean Morgan worked tirelessly to supply good ball into the forwards. This paid dividends with the on fire Kane Rossiter bagging a further two goals and Ruairi Lavery one. Another point from Ronan Murphy left it Bosco 4-02 Mitchels 0-11 at half time.
The second half proved just as enjoyable, especially as Bosco started to assert control around the middle. James Harkin at centre half forward was much more involved as his strong running caused Mitchels problems. Indeed Mitchels were beginning to tire as Bosco upped the tempo. Points from ; D. Morgan, J. Harkin, R. Mc Parland(2), B. Finnegan(3) and two more goals for K. Rossiter established a comfortable lead. Mitchels managed 1-03 in reply to leave a final score of Bosco 6-11 Mitchels 1-14
