McPhillips to the fore
THIS North Board Junior B Final was a well contested game of football with the final score doing scant justice to a young game Boyle fifteen.

North Junior B Final
Strokestown 1-11 Boyle 1-5


Strokestown, however, well deserved their victory and it is a fair reflection of the strength of football within this club that their third team would win this final they will prove difficult opponents for whatever team represents the South in the County Final. Their team was a mixture of youth and experience and in their captain, the veteran Ronan McPhillips they had the dominant player on the pitch and he inevitably won the Man-of-the-Match award.
He was ably assisted by Mark Dolan, Bernie Flanagan, Fergal McGinley, James Carr, goalscorer Marcus Kirwan and free-taker Trevor Lyttle. Boyle's young side who missed the injured Alan Tiernan in the first half, were best served by David Monson, Kieran Conlon, Tadhg Egan, Daragh Greenan, Shane Spellman and Tiernan in the second half.
