CHAMPIONS

Their moment of glory finally arrived, Boherbue under 21 footballer­s were crowned Kings of Duhallow ‘A’ Championsh­ip on Tuesday, April 19 with a 1-11 to 1-5 win over the Newmarket/ Lismire combinatio­n Robert Emmets on a beautiful evening at Ballydesmo­nd.

Boher forced to field without the injured Denis O’Sullivan and Michael Daly who was unavailabl­e, were well groomed, discipline­d and full of heart proving themselves the better team having come from behind on two occasions.

On an excellent surface before a big attendance this game was one that all present thoroughly enjoyed.

It had everything, good football, tough challenges, sensibly marshalled by referee Eoin Walsh, high fielding and a top drawer defence strategy particular­ly by the winners who contained and frustrated Emmets big guns in attack.
