Boston GAA
By Rory O’Donnell
Last weekend saw the semi-finals of the Pat O’Brien
Cup. Christopher’s and Donegal would
have to do it all over again after the game failed to produce a winner. Midfielder Conor O’Brien produced the
leveling score for Christopher’s to make it 1-9 apiece, and a replay is to be
scheduled to decide who makes the final.
In the other game the Connemara Gaels defeated Aidan McAnespies by a
handsome 2-13 to 0-6. Brendan Boylan
produced a man of the match performance in the middle of the field, and the former
Armagh U-21 chipped in with a point for good measure. Phil O’Sullivan and Sean Conneeley produced
the goal for the Gaels.
Other news saw the Barley House Wolves and Worcester, meet
in Concord NH in the junior C hurling championship. The Wolves got their season off to a great
start and put up an impressive 6-13 to 0-4 for Worcester.

As part of their preparations for the Feile next month the
U14s traveled to New Haven and played challenge games against New York and
Philadelphia. The Boston side held their
own in the first half, however, as the game wore on New York showed their class
with an impressive performance. New York
compete in the top division in the Feile and last year came close to winning it
out. Philadelphia provided a stern
challenge in a very evenly contested game and ended up narrow winners. Thanks to New York and Philadelphia for
making the trip, and to the Greenhills bakery for furnishing sandwiches and
Playwright Irish Pub for food after the game.

The Boston Shamrocks also made a trip south to Hoboken NJ
for a 7-a-side hosted by the Manhattan Gaels, narrowly losing in the final to
Chicago.
