Junior Championship V Moate:
St Josephs were due to play Moate All Whites in our final group game of this years Junior Football Championship but with the game having no consequence on the final standings in the table, we decided to concede the game to Moate. It was a hard decision to make but a prudent one as there was nothing to be gained from the fixture from our viewpoint so our championship season for 2014 has ended with two wins from eight games.
