With the regular management team away, Sean McGarvey took the hotseat and masterminded an excellent win for our Junior D Footballers against our neighbours Ballyboden Wanderers in Pairc Uí Mhurchú on Thursday the 1st of June.
With the sun shining and a good crowd cheering both sides on, it was an beautiful evening for football. Boden started brightly and some fine points from Reed Barry, Tom White and James Kinsella had them up 0-4 to no score as we approached the end of the half. There was a flurry of scores for both teams which led to Boden leading 0-5 to 0-3 at Half Time.
Points were exchanged and with Boden leading 0-7 to 0-5 disaster struck as Wanderers got a goal. Boden were now a point behind. It was the jolt Boden needed and over the remaining 10 minutes they racked up 4 points. Despite some late pressure from Wanderers , the defence marshalled by Cathal Creed and Eoin Featherstone were solid, and Boden held on to win by 0-11 to 1-5 and claimed their second victory in a row.
Thanks to Susan Creed for helping out. Well done to all involved.
Team: Ben O’Riordan.
