12noon (High N..)
Boyle's U16s’ received a walkover in the Ahern Cup semi-final on Sunday. They will meet Tulsk in the final of this competition on Sunday next at 1pm in Abbey Park. Supporters are asked to come to cheer the boys along in what is likely to be the last match of the year for the Club. The U16s’ had a very enjoyable outing to Bundoran Adventure World recently. Thanks to Jonathan Conroy for arranging the outing and to Garreth Doyle, Colette Collins, Majella Hynes and Keith Condron for their generous support of the outing. It is deeply appreciated.
The Club participated in three events in Scór na nOg in Elphin on Friday night last. Karen Carty in solo singing, Conor Tivnan, Jack and Caoimhe Morris in instrumental music qualified for the county semi finals which will be held in two weeks time. The quiz team of Eoin Lavin, Enda Smith and Conor Tivnan missed out on qualification.

Congratulations to our Club and County President John Joe Nerney on being inducted into the County GAA Hall of Fame on Friday night last at the Awards night in the Abbey Hotel. John Joe was also feted at the launch of the St. Dominick’s GAA History in Lecarrow on Saturday night by Liam Gilmartin and Gerry O’Malley.
Dates for your diary; - The minor board AGM will be held in the Clubhouse on 2nd December at 8pm. All parents in particular are asked to come along and see for themselves the work that is being done for the many underage teams which represent the Club. The minor board presentation night will be held in St Joseph's Hall on 7th January. The Club Christmas table quiz will be held on Wednesday the 29th December in the Moving Stairs. The senior club AGM will be held on 17th January. Good luck to Boyle Musical Society on their production of "Sweet Charity" which commences this week. The AGM of the County Board takes place in Clann na Gael’s clubhouse at Johnstown in mid December.
Good luck to all involved in the Musical from Wednesday Nov.10th.
I attended Barry Feely’s Book launch on Friday night and there was a very nice introduction by Brian Leyden a writer from Arigna now living in Leitrim. I have always enjoyed Brian’s talks which as here was introducing a book or paying the funeral tribute to Willie Conlon. Brian has a number of publication including The Home Place and Departures. So do look up Brian’s work on Google and you will not be disappointed. Barry himself was in great form at the launch and a large crowd was present. The book and CD are in a very attractive format with some lovely photographs of Canon Dodd, Johnny Keaveney and Noel Derby a painting reproduction of Sonny Regan. Also there are extensive drawings by Paul Young of ‘Secret of Kells’ fame. So along with the stories there is a mix of other artistic features also on show.
Barry is a lifelong activist and supporter and currently Vice-President of Boyle GAA Club.

Another book launch I attended recently was that produced by a family friend Conor McMorrow who is a political correspondent with the Sunday Tribune. The title of the book is ‘Dail Stars’ which tells the story of former GAA footballers who got to the Dail with the help of their GAA reputations. Currently there are John O’Mahoney, Jimmy Deenihan and Sean Kelly M.E.P. The Roscommon man chosen was Jack McQuillan, who was one of three, the others being Dr. Hugh Gibbons and Dan O’Rourke. So if you want a mix of politics and GAA you should find it here.
