Results & Fixtures

A much better week this week than last for both the Senior and Reserve sides. Last Tuesday (18th) the Senior side took on Harlesden in round 1 of the league and recorded a victory on a score line of 0-18 to 1-05. The guys went in the lead right from the off and never looked back – setting the tone for the game right from the off and never looked like they would get beat.

On Saturday the Joes had 2 games 1 senior and 1 reserve both in Greenford. First up the senior team took on the team that beat them in the Murphy Cup final in the form of St.Brendans. This game went a little more according to the plan as Joes recorded a 1-10 to 0-05 victory over the south west London side. Right from the off the Joes were at the races when they recorded 1-02 within the opening 15 minutes to put them in a comfortable position going ahead for the remainder off the game with the gap at half time being 7 points. In the second half in fairness to St.Brendans they came back fighting reducing the lead down to 4 points at one stage however this was as good as it got for their guys as the Joes men recorded a number of unanswered points to finish the game strong.

The reserve team also recorded their second win of the season when they took on Thomas McCurtains. In a game which could only be described as a goal fest the Joes men came out on top by the most minimum of margins recording a 1 point victory. McCurtains started the game the stronger by going 1-03 to no score up in the opening 10 minutes however as time went on the Joes grew into the game and at half time were winning by 2 points. In the second half continued in similar fashion to the end of the first when the Joes converted a number of points to leave them 7 to the good however it wasn’t at comfortable for the reserves as they would have liked in the last ten minutes when the East London side converted a goal and some points to leave the Joes up by the minimum going into the dying embers of the game. Full time score here was 4-12 to 4-11.

Well done to everyone who came out and participated over the last week. This week is a little more settled when we only have the one fixture as follows below:

Round 3 of the Div 2 league Tuesday 25/06/19 Vs Round Towers in Greenford with a 19:15 throw in.
