Saturday afternoon saw the Boston GAA season get underway with 3 games from the first round of the Pat O'Brien Cup.  Conditions were good underfoot considering the harsh winter the region had endured, though a stiff cold breeze greeted the teams to the back field at the Irish Cultural Center.

There were plenty of new faces on show as Kerry, Galway, and Wolfe Tones came out winners.  Kerry always had their noses in front of Christopher's save for a brief period where the teams were level shortly after half time.  Galway and the Blues played a low scoring affair in which Galway prevailed by a goal, while the Wolfe Tones four point victory over Connemara Gaels flattered their opponents.  A combination of wasteful first half efforts from the Tones, and two first half goals from the Gaels, kept the Connemara men in with a shout till the very end.

The early season action continues next Saturday, May 2, with Aidan McAnespies and Donegal completing the first round at 3:30, followed by two knockout clashes in which Kerry and Shannon Blues meet, with Galway and Christopher's providing the finale.
