Result: 2-10 to 2-07
Our Junior A footballers had a crucial win away to Sylvesters in Broomfield. A downpour before the game made conditions difficult however both teams settled well with Dave Gilheaney getting Boden on the scoreboard with a well taken point. Sylvesters scored the next 3 points and were dominating the breaking ball at midfield until an opportunist goal by Bodens Rory Jordan after a bad goalkeeping error. It was always going to be nip and tuck between the sides in the second half. The difference was two long distance points from Colm Sweeney and an excellent 1-3 from play from Cian Bates. His goal was a trademark ‘ Batesy’ finish, cutting in from the left and looping a shot over the Syls goalkeeper. Sylvesters hit back with a goal of their own but another fine point from Dave Gilheaney ensured Boden took full points from the game.
