On Thursday 31st March St Dominics travelled to play a strong Boyle team. Dominics started the brighter and went ahead taking some excellent scores and leading by 4 points at half time. Boyle came out more determined and had a good spell of scoring getting in front by 7 points. The lads put in a huge effort and got back to within 2 points with 5 minutes of normal time. However Boyle were fresher and their strength paid off, finishing with 2 late goals. Final score Boyle 6-15 St. Dominics 6-9. Well done to both teams on some great football.
