above is the match report from the Roscommon
herald, quite short compared to the full page

St. Aidans beat Boyle. The
lads may not have played up the their potential
in this clash, but you can only win a match and
thats what counts. Morgan Bierne and Mark Fallon
were best for Strokestown, with Shane scoring
two very important goals. We
take on St. Aidans in the final on Sunday, we
know this will be a tough match with Aidans
being a tough team and well up for the
challenge. However if we play to our ability
no-one will stop us. Watch
