Boyne 1st XV 12 Seapoint 16

Sat, 26/09/2009 - 23:29 — Seamie Briscoe

Conditions could not have been better for this game with a pitch that was in excellent condition and the climate absolutely perfect for football of any code. Match Day Sponsor The Boyne squad had earlier performed a Guard Of Honour for their departed club member, Jazz Craven, for whom a minutes silence was observed before the game commenced. They went straight to the ground from the cemetery to prepare for this match against Seapoint who are unbeaten this season. There was a stiff enough breeze blowing up the pitch from the Moneymore end and Seapoint had the benefit of this in the first half. They set out the trend of their game plan right from the start, with their out half Keegan testing the Boyne back three with a hoisted kick into the Boyne 22’. Young Boyne full back collected and as his instinct, went to run out of defence. He did make some ground before being hauled down. From the resultant broken play Boyne were penalised at the breakdown and Keegan set out on his scoring spree when he landed the resultant penalty from 30 mts.
