The best for last but all in vain
St Peters…2-15 Kilbride…0-11 Whilst writing the match report for Dunboyne’s SFC opening round draw against Rathkenny the point was made that their failure to close out the job on that evening would come back to bite them in the backside. And, though they produced their best display of the entire season against the other side…

Dunboyne do Major amount to secure victory in first half
ST PETERS…5-14 SKRYNE…1-09 Despite there being a crestfallen cloud engulfing the black and amber camp after the senior team produced their best display of the season against Kilbride all to no avail, those in reserve for that one also put in a clinical shift to advance to the All County IFC semi final. With the…

It’s a nice surprise to be right!
DULEEK/BELLEWSTOWN… 0-13 OLDCASTLE..,0-07 Can one man make that big of a difference to a team? It would appear that can be answered in the affirmative after the return of the mercurially talented Eamonn Armstrong gave the Louth border club the required extra inches to negotiate their way past Oldcastle and into the knockout stages of…

Rugged rurals often set the stiffest exams
Sadly, however, that was only a fraction of their worries as, shortly before the break, exciting attacker Sean Delaney crumpled with a ghastly looking knee injury and only minutes after the resumption, wing back Cian Smith similarly had to be assisted off the field.

A counterproductive need to mess
One of the click bait driven websites ran a story this morning in which the opening line was “Things are falling apart down in Kerry”. They hardly are. The only certainties in life are death, taxes and Kerry winning All Irelands. Reference was being made to the fact that two more Kingdom starlets, Daniel Kirby…

Nearly shooting the light out of the sky
St Peter’s B…6-09 Moynalvey…4-10 While a lot of places were agog with talk about solar eclipses, astrology and the likes and a few bored souls switched the indignation metre to uber righteous because a few kids wanted to get selfies and/or autographs during a once in a lifetime opportunity in Croke Park, the Minor footballers…

Fine comeback gets Dunboyne off on a winning note
St Peter’s…4.15 St Ultan’s/Cortown Gaels…2-14 Having lost out narrowly to long standing rivals St Colmcille’s in the Div. 1 MFL Final, the black and ambers will have justifiably high hopes of being right in the mix of contenders for the Delaney Cup a little further on down the road. However, while a seven point victory…

Harry hits the net as Dunboyne top the ‘Hill
ALL COUNTY IFC – Round 1 St Peter’s Dunboyne…1-14Summerhill…0-13 Harry Healy’s first half goal proved that, no matter how much Gaelic football might change and evolve, sometimes the old maxim about goals winning games cannot be disproven. For that’s exactly how it played out in Moynalvey on Sunday morning as Dunboyne’s second string kicked on…

Dunboyne rise and follow Charlie to scrape late draw
St Peter’s Dunboyne… 1-14 Rathkenny… 1-14 Charlie Gallagher’s booming free two minutes into stoppage time rescued a draw for Dunboyne at the end of this exciting Fairyhouse Steel SFC encounter at Dunsany on Thursday evening.

Dunboyne left glancing over their shoulder
St Peter’s, Dunboyne…1-09Ratoath…0-15 A fifth defeat in nine league games leaves Dunboyne dangling just above the bacon slicer that is relegation and in a situation where they must get a win from either of their final two matches against Donaghmore/Ashbourne and Skryne respectively. Another narrow defeat will have done little to lift spirits in the…
