Club Minor A.G.M.
On Thursday there was the Minor Club Convention where two outstanding officers stood down i.e. Jan Flanagan as Secretary and Pat Goldrick as Chairman. Pat is contesting the County Minor Board Chairmanship next week. So, good luck to Pat on that. Boyle’s loss will be a gain for the County Board. The new officers certainly have a hard act to follow. Tributes were paid to the outgoing officers and the various teams and team managements who made 2009 a successful year at underage level for the Club. The following officers and management teams were elected:
Chairman, Gerry Cregg with Vice-Chairman, Karl Keenan. Secretary, Charlie Candon with Paul Beirne. Treasurer, Mary Halligan with Olive Filan. Registrar the indomitable Mary Clifford.
There was a very impressive panel of team managers selected as follows (Note- I didn’t get all the names so someone might e mail me and I’ll update):
U 8; C. O’Connor/S. Bohan/ G. Emmett/ A. Brogan/S. Carroll. ……U 10; J. Sweeney/ K.Keenan/…………………..U 12; G.Cregg…….. U 12 (B) Peter McKenzie
U 14; B. Shannon/A. Lavin/P. Beirne/S. Young/P. Goldrick/ ……….U 16; J. Conroy/G. Goldrick/D. Kelly/ M. McGovern/ N. McKenna. U 18; V. Flanagan/T. Kearney/ Jnr. Smith.
That is an impressive line up with a wealth of experience and bodes well for the upcoming year. All teams will be in the ‘A’ Division, initially at least.
The code of discipline was presented and hopefully it will be adhered to and act as a basis of appropriate conduct by players, parents and management so that we can achieve a harmonious, fair and friendly environment for all.
One of the first initiatives of the new Secretary is the booking of Tyrone star Ryan MacMenamin for the Minor Presentation night on Friday January the 8th. Ryan will also be giving a coaching session on the following Saturday.

Division 4 League Victory:
Boyle 2.6 Kilbride 2.4
The playing season ended on a successful note on Saturday at Abbey Park when Boyle Feelystone team won the Division 4 Junior League title by virtue of a 2 point win over a spirited Kilbride outfit. This was a brave performance, having gone in at the interval three points in arrears and playing against the wind in the second half they fought their way back with well taken points and an excellent Kyle McLoughlin goal to take the title. This victory will see them playing Tansey Cup football next year which will be very helpful. Thanks are extended to the entire panel and the management of David O’Connor, Dessie, Paul Beirne, and Bernard Shannon, for their commitment throughout a long season. Thanks also to Finbar Feely and Feelystone for their continuing sponsorship.
The game was one of swaying fortunes and at times it looked as if Kilbride were the stronger outfit but then things changed and so on. Kilbride’s two goals, the first latching on to a mistake and the second a good punched effort, on 22 minutes left the score then at Kilbride 2.2 Boyle 0.2. However after a good Boyle move involving Darren O’Connor and Cillian Cox, Ciaran Cox finished to the net. Half time Kilbride 2.2 Boyle 1.3. Kilbride had a large number of wides in the second half and failed to score for 17 minutes. A quick Cain Smith free was transferred to Kyle McLoughlin who scored a fine goal on 20 minutes. Boyle held out in a somewhat nervy finish. If Boyle have been on the wrong side of unlucky results, this wasn’t one of them. I do not know the number of games this team has had this year but they seem to have been very active which is great. Best for Boyle; Ciaran Beirne in goals, the Cox brothers, Noel McKenna, Cathal Horan, Cian Smith and Donal Kelly chipped in again with an important score. The team; C. Beirne, C. Horan, J. Lyons, J. Healy (Capt.), A. Finn, C. Cox, Ml. O’ Donnell, N. McKenna, C. Cox (1.0), P.Lavin, D. O’Connor (0.1), K. McLoughlin (1.0), D. Kelly (0.3), D. Callaghan, C. Smith (0.2) with Mark O’Connor, R. Walshe, Karl Kelly and Karl Keenan.

Fund Raising and Dressing Room Status:
A reasonably well attended Club (regrettably I wasn’t there) meeting last week made arrangements for the commencement of an intensive fundraising campaign for the dressing room construction project which is well advanced in Abbey Park. The first such event will be a monster table Christmas Quiz in The Moving Stairs on Wednesday 30th December. So, keep your diary free for that and of course spread the word. It is not a GAA quiz in the sense that there are a lot of GAA questions. It is a GAA fund-raiser.
