St Lawrences book place in Championship Semi-Final
St Lawrences GAA Club Manchester successfully negotiated the round robin stage of the Lancashire Senior Championship to book themselves a place in the Semi-final. Their reward for this will be a tie against St Peters who they have already drawn with in the group stages.
St Lawrences opened their Senior Championship campaign with a defeat to current holders John Mitchells of Liverpool, despite an encouraging display Lawrences failed to take their chances, but were able to take heart from the performance they put in against last years beaten All-Ireland junior finalists. Next up was St Peters and in a tightly contested game, Lawrence's were disappointed to come out with a draw.
St Lawrences next two games saw them play St Anns and St Brendans respectively. After a tight first half against St Ann's, Lawrences pulled away to win the game 2-15 to 1-6, with Luke Byrne the star man amassing a personal tally of 0-12. Next up was a game against St Brendans played in difficult conditions, Lawrences greater experience on the day prove crucial as they ran out worthy winners on a scoreline of 1-9 to 1-6.
In their final game Lawrences fielded a weakened team, due to holidays and injuries. Having already qualified for the semi-final they went down narrowly to Oisins.
