I believe that Boyle seniors played a challenge in the College field, against some club from Leitrim, yesterday the 7th. That's all I can say as no one told the P.R. department!
Lotto:
The following were €20 winners at the Club Lotto draw which was held in Kate Lavin's on Saturday last; Vincent Flanagan, Martin Purcell, John and Patricia Cummins, Canon Gerry Hanley, Sandra McCrann, Martin Wynne, Liam Conroy, Martin Boston, Maria McPadden, Mary Brady and Maureen McQuaid.

A special deal has also been agreed with Vodafone whereby those who use that mobile phone network may sign up and have Vodaphone contribute 5% of their monthly bill costs to Boyle GAA Club. Details may be obtained from Kieran Supple or Karl Keenan or view a broader outline of the scheme posted here a week or so ago.
Clubrooms Opening:
Plans are well advanced for the opening of the new clubrooms circa 1st May. An exciting programme of events to mark the occasion are currently being prepared. Fundraising to defray the cost of the facilities is ongoing. The Club will hold a monster bowling night in Carrick on Shannon on Saturday evening 6th March. It is intended that this will be a fun night for all age groups-male and female.Those wishing to enter teams or to participate on teams should contact Michael Gilmartin at 086 2039182. A golf classic is also being planned for April.
Oscars:
The Club will be represented at the forthcoming Academy Awards ceremonies in Hollywood as Paul Young, son of Sean and Anne, is one of the main persons behind the film "The Secret of Kells" which has been nominated for an Oscar award in the best Animated Picture category.
Paddy McDermott Award:
Congratulations to Paddy McDermott on his Boyle People of the Year Award last Friday night. Paddy was a star player with Boyle in the fifties with his brother Seamus. He also played a number of times for the county. He was a great and diligant club officer for many years subsequently, especially in his role as Treasurer. Well done Paddy and justly deserved.
Sympathy:
The Club extends it sympathy to Shannon Gaels stalwart John Heslin and his family on the passing of Nuala.
