Results & Fixtures

At the weekend the Senior team took on Tomas McCurtains in the semi-final of the Murphy Cup in Greenford and came out on top after some wonderful performances from the lads on the day.

In what was a very tentative opening 15/20 minutes - McCurtains notched up a few scores and were unlucky not to a major when hitting the woodwork however the Joes stayed in touch through Paddy Flemming, Peter Wallace, Niall McAlynn and Alan Griffiths. However, the final 10 minutes of the first period belonged to McCurtains with them finishing with a flurry of scores to leave them 2 up at the half. HT 0-08 to 0-06

The second period was a different story however with the Joes taking control of the game. Right from the throw in the play was dictated from the lads with conversions from the forward trio of Wallace, McGrath and Mitchell putting the lads in from for the first time since the opening 5 minutes. A goal from “goalkeeper” McGovern from the penalty spot put the Joes in a comfortable position going into the final quarter of the game. In fairness to the East London men they responded with 2 points of their own to put a little pressure back on the Joes nevertheless the game was finished out with a flurry of scores from Fehin Mitchell, Gavin Watchcorn, John McGrath and a goal from John Keow to leave a comfortable gap between the sides prior to a McCurtains consolation goal.

No doubt the teams will see more of each other before the season is over so a this was a nice starter for ten for the year.

This week on Tuesday (21st) the Senior team are due to play Harlesden in the quarter final of the Shiels Cup with a throw in time of 19:00 again in Greenford. It would be great to see as many of you down to cheer the lads on.
