U16 Roinn A HL V Dunnamaggin -Monday 20/4/2015
Report by Philomena Brennan
The u-16s continued their league campaign with a trip to the South on Monday last where they competed against Dunnamaggin. These two teams last met in the u16 Roinn B Championship quarter finals last September and all will recall that the GBC lads emerged victorious with only one point to spare on that occasion. So a close encounter was anticipated by the good crowd of supporters in attendance. Read more
U16 Roinn A HL V Thomastown – Monday 13/4/2015
Report by Philomena Brennan:
After a good start to the Roinn A League campaign the local boys entertained Thomastown in Tom Ryall Park, Kilmanagh on Monday 13th April last. GBC playing with the assistance of a very strong breeze stunned the Thomastown defence with a well taken goal from Sean Ryan shortly after the throw in. This seemed to set the tone for the first half as the boys did not allow Thomastown to settle on the ball for any period of time in this first half. Read more

Congratulations Michael, keep up the good work!
Well done Billy and Eamonn!
Congrats and well done to Billy Ryan and Eamonn Egan, who carried on a proud parish tradition by winning the Croke Cup with St. Kieran’s College today in the All Ireland Senior Colleges Final. St. Kieran’s defeated Thurles CBS on a scoreline of 1-15 to 1-12 at Semple Stadium. It was St. Kieran’s 20th All Ireland Colleges triumph which made it that little bit more special. Billy’s first half display was straight out of the top drawer as he scored 3 excellent points and provided a magnificent pass for Kieran’s only goal. Eamonn came off the bench in the 46th minute at a time when Kieran’s backs were under severe pressure and he helped to repel a Thurles CBS onslaught from then right up to the final whistle.
