Folks i am wondering if any clubs in the North of the County would be interested in  arranging friendly matches on Saturday 2nd April, the same day as Dublin host Down. The Down County Board asked the clubs who would be interested in playing such games. St. John Bosco , Newry,Co Down agreed but the Down County Board only gave us a list of teams to contact. We will have a mixture of u 8,s 10s, 12, and 14s boys and girls i would say about 50 kids in total and it would be great if we could get the kids a few games and of course would return the favour next year. If you know of a club in the north of the city please pass my details on.

Bosco 2-4  Saul 0-4 Half time from the Meadow

Well done to Newry Bosco on winning the Division 4 league final today, looks like they went through the entire season without dropping a single league point.

thnks rambler we did go through unbeaten, good game v Mitchels, glad to be out of div 4

Bosco v Glenn replay set for Saturday week in Saval that would be the 5th Sept not sure on time

A few years back the County invited people to become referee assessors did this ever happen, i did think of going along myself but when i realised how much shite i can give to refs i felt it unjust that i shoud rule the thumb over them.
In div 4 this year the Bosco have been lucly enough with the refs we have had maybe because we have had the game won in the 1st half. The presures in the higher divs must be emense for clubs to get results so obviously the ref is always going to be centre of attention.
My main gripe with referees is the ones who are 5 stone over weight and cannot move 10yds either side of the mid field line. We all know them., but no matter what age group our level of football we watch we are all referees but not wearing the black.

Can anyone tell me how many referees are ex players if any ? Just Curious. When i say ex i mean retired from football in the last 4/5 years.

Bosco picked up a few injuries, Gavin Moan and Marty Rooney both limping off

Bosco beat Mitchels by 13/14 points in terribale conditions, some good football played by the the Bosco

Anyone know for definite the closed fortnight dates?

Talkin to Sean Og tonight he said London match in Newry 4th july think a 6 throw in but to be confirmed

Boys just to clarify Newry Bosco have not contested St.Johns promotion from div 4 to div 3 that is a job for the co.board to deal with. As far as our own situation goes just watch this space.
Cheers

Mo, what part of the ground are they for? I have a couple but I would take a 2 if they were for the Gerry Arthurs, getting too old to get soaked standing behind the goals.
