BOSCO TRIUMPH OVER GLASDRUMMAN
St. John Bosco 1-11 Glasdrumman
0-13
Glasdrumman headed to Newry on
Friday evening determined to get
their last game out of the system,
but with an understrength team
they were unlucky to lose out
to an energetic Bosco team.
Glasdrumman's first scores came
from Conaire Harrison and Mark
Trimble but Bosco were already
ahead with a goal and point by
the tenth minute. Two further
points from Connaire Harrison,
one from a free, levelled the
game before Ronan McDowell made
a good save with Bosco in on goal
again. A fourth point from another
free kick by Connaire Harrison
had Glasdrumman ahead only for
Labhras McAlinden to equalise
with a point immediately. Glasdrumman
appeared to be gaining the upper
hand and points apiece from James
McDowell and Pat Mallon put them
two ahead with only five minutes
to half time. However, Niall Tumilty
had other ideas and three points
from him edged Bosco ahead again
by one, only for Connaire Harrison
to put over his fifth point of
the half to leave the half time
score St. John Bosco 1-5 Glasdrumman
0-8.
The second half started as the
first finished, Niall Mullen sent
over a point to edge Bosco ahead,
only for Connaire Harrison to
equalise again six minutes later.
Bosco then went two ahead with
points from Niall Conlon and Colm
Keenan midway through the half
and again it was Connaire Harrison
who replied with three almost
identical points to edge Glasdrumman
ahead again with ten minutes remaining.
Bosco levelled the game almost
immediately, and as the game entered
the final five minutes Niall Tumilty
put over another free kick to
put Bosco ahead yet again. Connaire
Harrison dragged Glasdrumman level
with his tenth score of the game
with only three minutes remaining.
Just as the game appeared to be
heading for a draw, again it was
Niall Tumilty who sent over a
free kick to put Bosco ahead.
Glasdrumman still had time for
a couple of chances to level the
game, but the game ended with
the score St. John Bosco 1-11
Glasdrumman 0-13.
