10 minute mark, and while Galway continued to
battle, the chances of making up the difference were
remote. This time it was David Clifford who supplied the major when running from the half back
line to get on the end of a Denis McElligott’s pass
and palmed the ball to the net. In spite of some
superbly pointed efforts from Kevin Cummins and
Danny Reddin, Galway could not find their way
past the Blues last line of defence.
Roche continued to do his thing at the other end
for the Blues, picking off points almost at will. Galway when they did manage to get scores, the Blues
were able to answer in kind almost immediately.
The Blues look clinical with two wins out of two,
while Galway will be back at it in two weeks when
Boston Donegal will be the opponent.

SENIOR FOOTBALL CHAMPIONSHIP
WOLFE TONES
BOSTON KERRY

2-15
4-08

Boston Kerry and Wolfe Tones played a tremendously exciting senior football match, a game in which the
Tones will be relieved to have come away from with both
points. However, for the second week in a row, the Kingdom walked off the field wondering what might have been,
while the Tones had two points in their pocket.
Wolfe Tones motored well in the first half. From Mike
“Frodo” O’Brien in the half back line, though midfielders
Jerry Troy and Danny O’Callaghan, and a well-tuned forward line, the Tones looked in synch for much of the first
30 minutes. Two goals were tallied, Neill Flynn at wing
forward netted the first and Dan McCabe the second following an exquisite pass from fellow Down native Marty
Farrell. Gary Brilly worked hard in the full forward line,
and supply was in abundance as Kerry were on the back
foot for long spells.
