BOSTON NORTHEAST
JUNE 20 - 28, 2015

RAINED OUT BUT NOT
KNOCKED OUT
Bad weather hindered Boston GAA on Sunday
last at Canton with games rained-out, still the
folk in Beantown did manage to get games in on
the Saturday and Rory O’Donnell reports on happenings and the prior week’s action.
Another weekend of rain resulted in postponements of games, this time around the entire Sunday schedule.

Thankfully, last Saturday’s June 27th games went ahead.
In Junior A football Wolfe Tones and Donegal ended up all
square at 3-6 to 1-12. At the break Donegal were ahead by a
score of 1-7 to 1-3 and looked like the better team. The Tones
banged in an early second half goal and brought in some experienced horses in Edmund Carr and Kevin Gorham. Donegal looked to Christy McLaughlin for the scores to maintain
parity, and after the Tones kicked a third goal it took an injury
time equalizer from McLaughlin to rescue the point for
Donegal. Aidan McAnespies continue to do well in the
Junior A competition with an eight point win over Galway on Field B.
The Junior hurlers of Boston Tipperary and Fr. Tom
Burke’s met with Tom’s coming out with a 2-12 to 1-12
win. Tipp had the better of it early on as Tom’s were slow
to get out of the gates. Once they got going however, Tom’s
did well all over the field. Terry Doran, Larry Guinan,
and James Dooley did well in the back line to hold Tipp
out and keep the play headed in the other direction. Two
Tom’s goals in the final 15 minutes put some distance between the teams in what was an otherwise close game.
Tipp’s John Roche and Mark Jordan tried to life the side
late in game, and a goal from a Roche free brought Tipp
within a score Tom’s, but time was up at that stage.
