The club's first CLUB FOOTBALL CHAMPIONS 2001 appearance in a Senior Club All-Ireland Final. The team in the historic position was the Ladies Senior Football side managed by Bill Daly with Mark Maga- hran, Shane Keane and Elaine Keane (medic) which went down to Donough- more of Cork in the AIB final. The occasion was a truly memorable one with the club turning out in force with over 1,000 members and supporters pre- sent. Earlier in the season the team has suc- cessfully defended their Dublin champi- onship title first won in 2000 when Garda were overcome and added the league for good measure. The Leinster Championship campaign opened a comprehensive win over Rath- cline in Lanesboro. It followed with a thrilling draw with Shelmelier of Wexford in Hollymount and the stage was set for an epic voyage to the All-Ireland final.

A wonderful second half and victory sent us into our first Leinster Club final against Cooley Kickhams of Louth. The travelling support had grown to huge proportions and with extra buses and cars making the journey the 'Boden Roar was well and truly heard in Dunsany when we won the final – or so we thought. The referee had a different tally and the decision went to the Leinster Council. Despite the referee Fran Mullen's honourable action in correcting the error, a refixture was ordered and we duly won the title in Clane with a wonderful attack- ing display. Carnacon travelled from Mayo with high hopes and justifiably so. Cora Staunton did all one girl could but the overall team approach of the ’Boden Girls was superior and we triumphed 3-12 to 2-10.

  • Na Fianna Nuacht 160318
    Na Fianna Nuacht The Sports Forum Event was set up to provide funding to teams for the year ahead with all of the profits to be distributed to teams. The organizing committee started the process back in November with the intention of putting on a show with a high quality line up in a high quality setting that would appeal to members and non-members alike. A total of nine teams from juvenile to adult participated who would share in the profits from selling tickets and adverts as well as auction and raffle. As a club we are fortunate to have such a diverse group of members and the show would not have been possible without the help of our very own MC Shane Coleman from Newstalk, Dessie Farrell, John Horan, Jonny Cooper as well as past members Kieran McGeeney and Kenny Cunningham, and behind the scenes Senan Connell, Karl Donnelly, Neil Mulhern, Tom Dowd and Stephen Behan helped with the production. The night kicked off with Barry Murphy’s alter ego Gunther Grun providing the entertainment and it was clear to see why he is recognised as one of the 10 Kings of Irish Comedy over the last 20 years by Hot Press. Next up were Shane Coleman with Anna Geary, Kenny Cunningham and Shane Horgan. Each of the panel shared some great stories and delved into a variety of topics keeping the audience suitably entertained. After the break we were treated to some more fun from Barry Murphy, this time MC Shane Coleman being the subject matter. Following this and allowing Shane some respite from Barry’s attentions, Shane welcomed on stage Jonny Cooper and Kieran McGeeney who gave us insights into coaching and what it takes to play at the top level in sport.

They were emerging as title rivals to Ferguson’s Manchester United and he was keen for Morgan to move to Old Trafford. Morgan chose Blackburn, signing for the Ewood Park side in 1994. A year later, Blackburn won their one and only Premier League title. But despite training with the league-winning squad, and making the bench for league and European matches, Morgan found himself released – and without a club – almost three years later. It was only weeks before captaining the Ireland Under-20s to a third-place finish in the 1997 World Championships in Malaysia. Put simply, Morgan fell by the wayside as Blackburn – and their Premier League rivals – regularly shunned the promotion of youth in favour of big-money signings. The 19 WHERE HAVE ALL THE IRISH GONE? birth of the Premier League in 1992 ushered in an era of stellar signings, compounded by the Bosman ruling in 1995, which removed obstacles to foreign players playing in England – a double whammy which would change the fortunes of Irish players for ever.
