This fixture had all the markings of a great battle between two teams pushing for promotion, both realising that nothing less than a win would do. However it seemed that one of the umpires present wanted to be more involved than both sets of players in a shambolic and disgraceful display of umpiring. Unfortunately the match was dead in the water with only minutes gone. Newry flew out of the traps and attacked South straight away but within 5 minutes they found them selves down to ten men with the first of many dire and biased decisions against the home side. Even with ten men knew were running South Antrim ragged and should have been one up when the ball was stopped intentionally and illegally on the line by an Antrim player resulting in a penalty stroke being awarded, and the player not even receiving a talking to by the umpire. Richard Nummy normally cool in these types of situations could only hit the post with his effort.
Golden Jubilee Mass
The St John Bosco GAC celebrated the start of their Golden Jubilee celebrations with a special Mass of Thanksgiving in St Brigid’s Church on Sunday 27th. This also allowed the club an opportunity to mark the feast day of their Patron Saint, John Bosco on the 31st January.
