Ballyboden Senior Ladies Footballers are through to their first county final since 2011.

Having come through Group B of the championship in second place, the girls faced Group A table toppers St. Sylvesters in Broomfield for Wednesday evenings semi final. On a poor evening weather wise the  girls played into a very strong wind in the opening half. Playing very controlled football we led three points to five after the opening ten minutes before rattling the Sylvesters net for one of three first half goals.

As the half time whistle sounded the girls led 3:06 to 0:08 at the interval. The second half was a cagier affair as Sylvesters pushed forward trying to score the goal, which they hoped would kick start their revival. However the Boden rearguard held firm and the girls ran out winners in the end 3:11 to 0:12. As the travelling support celebrated the our player’s thoughts turned to the 1st of September and a County Final appearance versus either Kilmacud Crokes or Foxrock Cabinteely 

This was the last week in this lotto year. The Draw will start up again in late September, please watch the website for details.

Thank you for playing.

What a day!

The Official Re–Opening of Páirc Uí Mhurchú was a huge success, we had the fun filled but competitive Poc Fada competition in the morning, a fantastic Hurling Challenge V Dicksboro of Kilkenny in the afternoon followed by the official opening performed by Chairman of the Leinster Council Jim Bolger. Then it was our Senior footballers AFL1 match V Ballymun in the evening. There was food, drink, ice cream and (mostly) fine weather all enjoyed by an enthusiastic Boden crowd. The night ended with the Poc Fada results and prize giving and the draw for the Helicopter Trip to Croker for the All Ireland. Many thanks to all those behind the scenes who made the day such a great success and our great club photographers who recorded the day with brilliant photos, more of which can be found on our Facebook page.
