The Under 14’s had a big win over Ardglass in their rescheduled fixture last Wednesday. They travelled to Kilclief on Monday 9 June and are at home to Teconnaught 7 days later.
The Under 12’s travelled to Bright on Sunday to face a Bright side intent on staying top of the league. Bright chose to play with the strong wind in the first half and built up a large lead which unfortunately the Johnnies were unable to turn around in the second half.
Rory Ward and Sam O’Connor were tight in defence. Amy Doran and Damien worked tirelessly while Ryan chipped away at the scores and his passing was excellent. Again Eoin and Conor McMullan proved to be great cover when introduced. Final score was Bright 5-12 St John’s 2-11. Keep up the great work boys and girls. Next Sunday they travel to face Bredagh.
