Boyle GAA Notes Monday November 24th

Intermediate/O’Gara Cup League for ’09:
It was "mission accomplished" for the McGovern Directional Drilling team which gained promotion to the O'Gara Cup League for next season following receipt of a walkover in the Tansey Cup semi-final on Sunday morning last in Fuerty. It was disappointing that St. Faithleach’s were unable to field a full team but after conceding the game they sportingly agreed to play a shortened friendly which gave all players, from both sides, a chance of some football. Boyle now features in the Tansey Cup final and could/should ensure that we have some silverware to display at Christmas. Their opponents there will be the winners of Kilglass and Ballinameen. While Ballinameen have not played much football for a while Kilglass will be knocked back a bit by their comprehensive loss in the Connacht Junior Final. So Boyle has every opportunity of collecting this trophy.

Juniors versus St. Michael’s:
The Feelystone junior team will meet St. Michael’s, in Ballyfarnon, on Saturday at 2.30pm, in the Division 4 North Junior Final. Full support will be appreciated. St. Michael’s will be buoyed by their upcoming participation in the Celebrity Bannisteoir.

Ahern Cup Final:
The U 16s’ will play Michael Glavey’s in the Ahern Cup Final in Boyle on Saturday week the 6th of December.

Club Meeting:
An important meeting of the Club takes place in the Royal Hotel on this Tuesday night the 25th at 8.30.

Defibrilator Damage:
The Club expresses its revulsion at the thoughtless action of whoever interfered with the defibrillator which is located in the Abbey Park. This act of wanton vandalism could have serious repercussions had it been needed before the damage was noted. The relevant authorities are investigating and if anyone has any information on the incident they should get in touch with the Club officers or the Gardai.

Lotto Win:
Congratulations are extended to Gerry and Phil Emmett on winning the Club's Lotto jackpot of €2,400 at the weekend.

Congratulations:
Congratulations are also extended to Rory O'Donoghue and Sinead Regan on their recent engagement and to Jonathan Conroy who graduated at Sligo IT at the weekend and to all other Boyle natives who graduated in Sligo IT. It is understood that Jonathan's thesis is sports related in terms of referees and I look forward to reading it.

Boyle Ladies Club:
The Ladies Club extends its best wishes to club stalwart Laura Gannon who will be making her trip to South Africa this week with the Niall Mellon Trust. Laura's building skills will be of great benefit to the ladies team next season!

Date for Diary:
DATE TO REMEMBER-Saturday 27th DECEMBER-Ladies Club Christmas Party-more details in coming weeks.
