Tuesday 3 ish:
Nil to do with GAA (ntdwga) but….. Paudie O’Sullivan reminded me to mention Pat Lyons’s Roscommon Barperson of the Year vote in the Roscommon Herald. Closing date for votes is next Friday Dec.18th.
Club Star of the week-end: Ml. Furey.
County Board Convention:
The County Board Convention was held in St Joseph's Hall on Monday night. A great effort was put in by many club members in the preparation of the venue. It was commended by all visitors in that respect. (To see an account of ‘the picture’ project see the Roscommon People from Thursday evening if my account is used)
Scor:
Karen Carty gave a beautiful rendition of "Raglan Road" in the Scór na nOg County Final in Athlone on Sunday and she was unlucky not to have taken the county title. Thoughts will now turn to Senior Scór and it is intended to recruit participants over the next month or so.
Aidan Ray’s Offers:
The Club is pleased to announce that Aidan Ray Menswear, Patrick Street, Boyle whereby there will be a 5% discount available to Boyle GAA Club members on purchases of €100 in their premises. The Club wishes to thank them for this generous offer.
Abbey Park Re-instatement:
Abbey Park playing pitch will remain closed for repairs until further notice.
Sympathy:
The Club expresses its sympathy with the McKenna family, Maple Drive and Elphin Street on the death of John Joe.
The Christmas Quiz:
This will take place in the Moving Stairs on Wednesday the 30th. While a number of people have contacted me trying to enter early, entries will be taken on the night…..terms and conditions apply ….regulatory authority…..and you know the scope that gives!
Junior’s Bar:
As many people will know Junior has returned as proprietor of his bar in St. Patrick’s St. So we wish him and his family well with the business and I imagine a few teams will be selected and de-selected sorta there in the coming seasons! I look forward to a few discussions with ‘experts’ on setting the country, and all things askew, to rights sorta, especially in the next two weeks or so. And I had nearly given up altogether sorta and along comes another excuse for…..as a friend J.K. used to say ‘a silk thread would bring our ….’
Caption Competition:
Cian Beirne has sent me a number of good GAA pictures, a selection of which I hope to ‘put up’ here, say from early next week and try a Christmas Caption competition…….could do with a sponsor! Look out for that. Continually broadening our services!
Lotto:
The following were the €20 winners at the most recent Club Lotto draw which was held in An Craoibhín;- Deirdre Purcell, Joseph O'Dowd, Vincent Grehan, Denis Dodd, Donal Kelly, Colin Beirne, Cian Smith, Dan Kennedy, John and Jean Mcpherson and Sean Connaughton. The house prize was won by Teresa McQuaid. The jackpot was not won and it will stand at €2,900 for this Saturday night's draw which will be held in the Hideaway, with Michael Gilmartin's team in charge.
Oz / N.Z and the other Colonies:
Seasons greetings.You are in our heads (thoughts). Take care.
