Mon. It was a weekend of mixed fortunes for two Boyle teams who were in action against Elphin. The U16s' had a hard earned one point victory-scoreline Boyle 1.12, Elphin 2. 8, in the first round of the Ahern Cup, in the Orchard Park on Saturday last. They will entertain Western Gaels in the quarter final of this competition on Sunday next at 12.30pm in the Abbey Park. While I am a great admirer of the team I feel that they will have to up their game v Western Gaels who I’m told are a pretty good side. This I think is the last on-field action of the season.
The U21s' bowed out of this year’s championship with a defeat to Elphin in an excellent game of football in Croghan on Saturday evening. The half-time score was Elphin 3.1 Boyle 1.5. The final score was Elphin 4.9 Boyle 2.9. I was really impressed by the commitment and football of the side against what I expect is a good Elphin side. While there were good performances from the usual suspects the people who really impressed me were a group who haven’t played much Gaelic football in recent years i.e. Tomas Conroy, Shane Battles, Colin Brennan and Jim Suffin. As the Gospel says- approximately- ‘There is more joy in heaven (should that be a capital H?) for the lost person who returns’. Thanks to the management of Gary, David and Bernie and the entire panel for their committment throughout the season. The Club wishes Elphin –a club I have good time for- the best of luck in the remaining stages of the championship.
The Boyle starting team was as Follows: C. Beirne, Ml.P. Gilmartin, C. Boylan, T. Lowe, M. Goldrick, C. Brennan, Ml. O’Donnell. C. Cox, D. Callaghan, C. Cox, D. O’Connor (Capt.), S. Battles, D. Smith, T. Conroy, J. Suffin with P.Lavin and M.O’Connor.
Entries are being finalised for the Scór na nOg competitions which will be held in Elphin on Friday November the 5th and Saturday November the 6th. Those who have not done so are asked to contact Martin Dolan at 086 2413529 immediately.

There will be a meeting of the Club in the Clubroom (?) on this Tuesday night at 9pm.
This is a final reminder to support Kilglass Gaels in the Kelloggs Field of Dreams by text or by email as this Thursday 28th is the final date for voting. The result will become known generally during the first ad. break of the Late Late Show on Friday night.
It is great to see the development of the pitch at St. Joseph’s Boys School. The school will have a range of facilities second to none when this development matures. I don’t know the management committee but they are certainly doing a great at getting the funding for all the developments at the school.

1. Why all the hoopla about Wayne Rooney in this country? Why does the national television station see fit to lead their sports news with such an innocuous item for Irish viewership?
2. I was really annoyed and embarrassed with the wallaby incident last week.
3. Did anyone see the Lynch lady on the Late Late Show, on October the 15th I think. It was just awful……….by me!
4. Reading a poem by Seamus Heaney from his collection Human Chain called ‘The Conway Stewart’ (pen) has prompted me to bring an old fountain pen I had out of retirement but I need ink. If anyone knows where I might source a bottle of ink (conveniently enough!) I would be thankful.
