10am.
The Minor Club presentation night will be held in St Joseph's Hall on this Friday night 14th January at 7.30pm. Awards will be presented to the underage club players of the year in the different age categories. All underage players i.e. up to under18 level are asked to attend and parents are especially invited to come along.
The Minor Club will hold their registration evening for all children who are under 10 years of age and who wish to play football with Boyle in 2011. It will be held in the Sports Complex on Tuesday 18th January from 5.45pm to 7pm. Each child should be accompanied by a parent or guardian
The Senior Club AGM will be held in the Clubroom on Sunday next 16th January at 4pm. All those interested in Gaelic games in Boyle Parish are cordially invited to come along. As most outgoing officers appear to be seeking re-election, new attendees should not have any fear of being landed with an officer-ship, unless of course they wish to do so. The nomination forms have been circulated to all members and the return of same to the Sec. would be good, appropriate and appreciated. The AGM is a great opportunity to review activities for the past year and to make preparations and improvements for the coming year and a large attendance is expected.
There will be a Club meeting on this Wednesday night at 8.30pm in the Clubroom to make arrangements for the upcoming LAMA Awards night -Sat. Jan. the 22nd- at which our new club facilities have been nominated for an award.
The following were €20 at the most recent Club Lotto draw which was held in the Hideaway on 1st January;- Kevin and Maria Lavin, Michael Smith Jnr, Rory Nevin, Gerry Cregg, Jackie Harvey, Triona O'Dowd, Tony Garvin, Joe Kennedy, Deirdre Kearns and Grainne McQuaid. The house prize was won by Richard Ellis. There was no jackpot winner and a jackpot of €2,500 will be on offer for this week's draw which will be held in Clarke’s on Saturday night next. Aidan Lavin's team will be in charge. The club wishes to thank all those who support the draw and the bars who facilitate it. As we have said before it is the lifeblood of the club.
The street league finals were victims of the weather on Sunday. It is expected that they will be played on Sunday next. The Club extends its congratulations to Gerry Cregg on his election of County Youth Officer at the County Convention on Saturday last. Gerry and all the other officials are extended best wishes as they manage the affairs of Roscommon GAA in 2011 especially the new County Board Chairman Michael Fahey (former Boyle team Manager) who is carrying on a family tradition as his father was a long-time GAA officer in a myriad of roles.
We extend our best wishes to Killian Egan who I believe has returned to Oz and to our constituents there and to others who I know will be wending their ways to, as Micheal O Hehir used to say on All-Ireland commentary days, ‘lands across the seas’ in the coming weeks.
The Club expresses its condolences to former Boyle player of the seventies and the eighties, Greg McCrann, Roscommon, on the death of his father, and with Anne Marie Lennon and Mary Nicholson, Boyle on the death of their father, Bernie Kearney, Trien, Castlerea.
