Clonduff Club, once again organised the Boley
Sevens Parish Tournament. Unfortunately the Camogs didn't
participate in 2008. Four teams took part - Ballygorian, Newry
Road, Cabra and The Inner City with the latter emerging
victorious. The other three teams were going well until
current County Senior Manager Ross Carr appeared on the scene.
He rolled back the years and showed what 'distribution' is all
about, regardless of what may be lacking in the legs.
It was something else to see a lifelong magpie, Marty Johnston
turn out for the Cabra team wearing a yellow Jersey - he's in
the middle of the picture on the right - click on the

2007 witnessed the
second running of the Football Boley 7s competition for Over
30s no longer playing the game. Six teams participated
representing Cabra, Newry Road, Rathfriland Road, Main Street,
Rostrevor Road, Ballymaghery. Teams were divided into two
sections with each team playing the other on a league basis
with the top team from each group going through to the final.
In Group B Cabra and Rostrevor Road had 3 points each and the
winner was decided on a penalty shoot out with every team
member having a shot. Rostrevor Road won 5-4 to face
Rathfriland Road in the Final. Rathfriland Road won 0-8 to
2-1.
