Top Corner:
We wish all Boyle GAA followers at home but especially abroad a happy St. Patrick’s Day. We are thinking especially of the Australian constituency of Roch Hanmore, Cillian Conboy, Cillian Egan, Seamie Gallagher, Mark O’Donohoe, Niall Greenan, Robbie Molloy, Miss Flaherty. Also Austin Beisty in New York who tunes in here and Paddy Conlon in the posh city of Wolkingham! My apologies to names I should have added here. As Matt Burke says;”Have a good one”.

Beannachtaí na Féile Pádraig do gach Gael í Mainistir na Buille agus ar fud an domhain.
St. Patrick’s Week;
Hopefully there will be a big turn-out for the parade on Tuesday and that the Club entry will be ok as befits Jan’s efforts. Thanks to Mary Beirne of McDonagh’s Shop for her co-operation in allowing the windows for the GAA window display.
Bins:
Would people using the bins in the park try harder in distinguishing between ‘recyclable’ and ‘rubbish’ material. It is not happening to the extent that a ‘recyclable’ bin can be rightly put our as such at the moment.

Thank:
The Club wishes to thank all who helped in any way to achieve the successful hosting of the Connacht Minor League games in the Abbey Park on the last two Saturdays. The Club wishes to thank all involved in the preparation of the float for St Patrick's Day parade and the decorating of McDonagh's window with GAA memorabilia-special thanks is due to Jan and Tony.
Minors v St. Ciaran’s:
Our minor team is scheduled to play St Ciaran’s, in Fuerty, on Sunday next the 22nd in the Division 1 minor league has been postponed to the 29th in Boyle at 5 p.m.
Junior’s first Outing:
The Feelystone junior team is scheduled to start their Division 4 league campaign versus Tulsk this weekend-see fixtures for details. The manager is David O’Connor.
Abbey College:
Congratulations to Abbey College second year footballers who had a good win over Glenamaddy in Tulsk last week.They will meet Castlerea in the Connacht semi final, possibly on 31st March. (We also congratulate Boyle Celtic U14s who have qualified for the Connacht Cup final versus Corofin following a 2 nil win over Westport on Saturday). Both of those teams are substantially the same.
Big County U 21 Connacht C’Ship Game:
Well done, again, to the Roscommon senior team and all players and managers associated with Boyle Club who were involved. Next up is Tipperary on Sunday and looking at results they are going to be a difficult team as well. There is also a very important U 21 Connacht C’Ship match against Mayo. Is that on Saturday the 21st? We will see then if the minors of ’06 can follow through at under 21 level. From their challenge game record they are going well but did Cork U 21s’ dump Kerry over the week-end?
Training to the Warren Pitch:
The Club advises ALL teams and managers that ALL teams must use the Warren training pitch for training during daylight hours until further notice and when the time changes it will have to be used exclusively for training. This will remain the position until the Abbey Park training pitch recovers following extensive use in recent months.Team managers are also advised to take notice that if challenge matches are being arranged, they should inform their respective club secretary-senior secretary or minor secretary- so that the County Board can be informed for clearance and insurance purposes. Furthermore, they should inform the pitch co-ordinator at least a week in advance so as to avoid duplication of pitch usage.
Missing Cup ..again.
We have issued a request for the recovery of a cup which T.C. is nearly sure he loaned to a winning team and which has not been returned. He would appreciate if the holder would make contact with him. It should be visible enough in a home. Basically, this is a last ditch call.
Tenders for Development:
Contractors are reminded that the closing date for return of completed tenders for the construction of new club dressingrooms is Friday 27th March.
Sin e, slan is beannacht.
