GOREY’S J2s LOSE AT HOME TO BOYNE

Gorey J2's Jekyll and Hyde season continued Saturday as they entertained league leaders Boyne in Clonattin.

Gorey had run Boyne to a one-point defeat away and were hoping to improve on that this time.

But, as at home Boyne were first out of the blocks as they crossed for the opening try in the first few minutes. They quickly added a penalty. Gorey slowly came into the game, but Boyne added a further try and a penalty to take their score to 18 - 0.

In the 30th minute Gorey started to put some phases together and finally registered on the scoreboard when Tommy New crossed for a try, Cian Hadden converted.

Gorey were now having their purple patch and putting good phases together. They again arrived inside the visitors 22 and kept the pressure up for Lar Kinsella to go in under the posts Cian Hadden added the conversion. 18 - 14 was how it was at the break.

After getting back in the game, Gorey usually kick on in the second-half, but indiscipline and the more experienced Boyne team put paid to that. Boyne added a further penalty early on. It was not long until they crossed for another try with two further penalties closing out any thoughts of a Gorey revival.

34 - 14 was how it finished.

This is the last game before Christmas. Gorey will be disappointed with this result but will hope to put things right as they restart in the New Year.
