Full Time Score
Fr Toms: 3-7
Galway: 0-1
Fr Toms were 2-1 up coming into this best of 5 series knowing that a win today would secure the Boston Junior A Championship. Torrential rain made for some very difficult conditions to hurl in but Toms were able to cope well with the rain to secure the Championship. The rain eventually turned to thunder and lightning which caused the game to be abandoned. Galway conceded the championship and Fr Toms were the winners.
Fr Toms started the brighter with 13 collecting the ball on the left wing and turning to swing it over the bar. John Cooper found space in midfield to double the scores with a well taken long range point.
The forwards for Fr Toms were relentless when they got the ball with a strong solo run by Dylan O’Neill setting up Conor Kelly who took a nice point from play. A long clearance by Fran Keenan in nets broke through to O’Neill who lobbed it coolly over the onrushing Kevin O’Grady in the Galway nets for the games first goal.
Fr Toms had a free on the 21, which was taken short by O’Neill to his other corner forward Sean Joyce. Joyce made no mistake and buried from close range into the Galway net.
The full forward duo of O’Neill and Joyce were dangerous whenever the ball was let into them with Joyce taking on his man and finishing into the net once more. Galway, to their credit, kept fighting and John Moylan scored a nice point from a free from midfield, and but for a few wides would have brought the scores closer.
Fr Toms were well ahead when the game was called off due to thunder and lightning in the interest of everyone’s safety.
