Lotto’:
The following were €20 winners at the most recent Club Lotto draw which was held in the Hydeaway were: Martin Supple, Aaron O'Connor, Eddie Conroy, Phonsie O'Connor, Mary Fallon, Darren Battles, Sean Kennedy, Carmel McGarry, Lainey Forde and Kieran Harte. The house prize was won by Noel Sullivan. the numbers drawn were 16/17/22/28. This week's draw will be held in Clarke’s Bar with Team ‘B’ in charge.
The U14s’ are due to play St Dominics in their postponed Division 1 League game in Knockcroghery on Thursday evening next.
The U16s’ had a hard earned win over old rivals Oran in the Div 1 League Seni-Final in the Abbey Park on Sunday evening on the scoreline of 4.6 to 3.7. This victory means they will now meet the winners of Strokestown v Ros. Gaels in the league final. Oran had beaten Boyle earlier in the league which gives an indication of the merit of last Sunday's reversal of that result. The U16 Championship is due to commence on Sunday next with a home game against Padraig Pearses-see fixtures for details.
The minors are also scheduled to play Padraig Pearses in Pairc an Phiarsigh also on Sunday-again see fixtures for details.
The McGovern Directional Drilling team was held to draw by Kilmore in the O'Rourke Cup on Sunday in Kilmore, having been well in control with five minutes remaining. This makes their final game with Western Gaels a must-win encounter in order to be in contention for the semi-finals.
*******A meeting of the Club will take place on this Tuesday night at 9pm in the Clubrooms to monitor progress on the sales of the County Board Draw tickets.
Well done to Tadhg Lowe and Donal Smith who acquitted themselves well on the Roscommon minor team which went down narrowly to Mayo in the Connacht Championship in Castlebar on Saturday evening last and also panel members Enda Smith and Ciaran O’Neill and those with the team management.
In common with all of Ireland, Boyle GAA members are deeply saddened by the passing of the great Dermot Earley.The Club extends its sympathy to his wife Mary and family and to his mother Kitty and to his brothers and sisters. Thanks are expressed to the Club members who travelled to Newbridge on Friday to participate in the guard of honour. A special mention of John Joe Nerney who, as President of the County Board, took part in the guard of honour on Friday evening.
The Club also expresses its sympathy with Imelda Fleming, National Irish Bank on the death of her mother, to John Murray, Wooden Bridge on the death of his mother Bridie Murray, Elphin, to the Brady family, Elphin on the death of Kathleen Brady and to Carmel Finneran-Klemp and the Finneran family, Boyle on the sad death of her son Sean in South Africa.Club members are reminded that there will be a Mass for Sean on Wednesday evening at 7.30pm in St Joseph's Church.
Congratulations to Roch Hanmore in Oz who I’ve heard has gotten engaged to Mandy. We met them at Roch’s gran’s 100th birthday celebrations. Best wishes to you both. Sans souci.
A friend noticed that I was remiss in not mentioning the bad luck of Tadgh Egan who got a serious injury some time ago so I’m rectifying that now.
Hard luck (if that is what you can call it) to Sligo in Salthill last Sunday…..it was a painful ending…..hopefully next Sat. they will go the whole way.
I was taken with a very good Dermot Earley tribute on the Sunday Indo’s ‘Hold the Back Page’ by Eamon Sweeney x Gurteen and a former St. Mary’s College student.

Go raibh maith agaibh,
Martin Dolan/Tony Conboy.
