Minor hurlers pipped by Boden in C'ship Final
MHC D Final Ballyboden St Endas 3-08 St Sylvesters 1-11 A late Ballyboden goal gave them the win in a very entertaining game. Syls settled after a slow sart and were tied 1-06 each at the break. We dominated the second half but poor shooting and a great display from the Boden keeper yielded just five points. Two late goas pegged us back and gave them the win. Lovely morning at Trinity Gaels and a great Syls crowd. Congratulations on a great season..

15s through to Championship Final
U15F A C'ship SF The U15A footballers qualified for the clubs second U15A Championship Final in 2 years with a hard fought victory over a very well drilled Clontarf team. At times through the game the result looked like it was slipping away from us but goals came for us at exactly the right time to see us over the line. We trailed from almost the first minute until well in to the second half and at one stage in that second period we were 4 points down and going out as we seemed to have no answer to Clontarf’s sharp play.

MHC D Group 2 Ballyboden 2-14 St Sylvesters 2-4 The Minor B hurlers faced a strong looking Ballyboden side out in Ballycullen in the D Championship on Sunday morning.
