Boyle Ladies GAA will present U12 girls 2010 panel with their County Division 1A runner up medals in Boyle GAA Clubrooms this Saturday the 12th of February at 5.00pm. All the panel and parents are invited.
Also a reminder about the Ladies AGM on Sunday the 13th at 3.00pm also in clubrooms.
Please click on the poster to see a larger version...Tues. 8th..12.15am. I am just after returning froma Co. Board meeting and one item I want to mention quickly is a coaching course here in Boyle on Friday evening/night. It is important that the potential coaches are made aware and avail of this.
I'll post a number of other items from the meeting tomorrow. Goodnight!!
Sun. Feb. 7th 1.15am.
Those who have not collected their allocation of tickets for selling in the forthcoming above draw are requested to attend in the Clubroom on this Tuesday between 7.45pm and 8.15 pm. The draw will be held circa St Patrick's weekend and it includes a number of attractive prizes, including a weekend in New York in May for the Roscommon v New York game in the Connacht Championship.
The following were €20 winners at the Club Lotto draw which was held in Wynne’s Bar on Saturday night last; John Finneran, Bodo Funke, Deirdre and Tom Kearney, Brendan Tiernan, Harry Wynne, Brid and Conor McGowan, Paul Kelly, Dominic Kearns, John Lenehan and Joe Sweeney. The house prize was won by Jonathan Conroy. The jackpot wasn't won and the there will be a rollover of €2,700 for this week's draw which will be held in Kate Lavin’s on this coming Saturday night. (I made an appeal here a week or so ago for additional people to get involved in the Saturday night Lotto. I’m disappointed-but not shocked-that I have had no respondents. Think again, bearing in mind that the Lotto is the Club’s lifeblood, and surely there are a few extra new people who would help out.
Entries need to be finalised for Senior Scór by this weekend. Those who wish to participate in any of the Scór activities should contact Martin Dolan at 086 2413529 immediatly.
All team managers of adult, under age and ladies teams are requested to attend a meeting in the Clubroom on this Thursday evening at 8.30pm to arrange pitch usage rotas for the coming season. It is essential that all managers attend.
The County team and management are wished an enjoyable and successful weekend in London for the game with London. Well done to Seanie Purcell on his fine performance against Longford on Sunday.
Best wishes to Darren Dockery who heads to Australia this week. Darren has been involved in Boyle teams since under 10sih and has been a very good player for the club. We wish him well, that he enjoys his time and experience and returns safely.
Boyle Ladies Club;
The Annual General Meeting of Boyle Ladies GAA Club will be held in the Clubroom on Sunday next at 4pm. All players, mentors, parents of underage players and all who wish to see ladies football continue to develop in Boyle are asked to attend.
Errata per. T.C….. I have received a telling email appeal from Ciaran Conlon outlining the damage done to facilities at his Mitchells GAA Club in Brisbane. I will be pursuing this issue in the coming weeks and probably issuing an appeal to assist this important support area in Australia.
I see that Dublin are playing most of their ‘home’ games in Croke Park and introducing various half-time entertainments. I’ve heard that Jedward will perform the halt-time entertainment on two occasions. I might try and get there for the half-times at least. (Also, appearing on the All-Ireland Talent Show on R.T.E. on Sunday night next are Daniel O’Donnell and his wife Majella-I think. I hope they do well!).
I have made a Chinese New Year’s resolution –the Year of the Rabbit- (we might be back to that as in the 50s’). Anyway the resolution is; I am not answering incoming calls listed as ‘unavailable’ which often seem to originate in India…..apologies India.
I saw a 60s’ programme of the Tipp. hurling team, on the Croke Park steps, accepting the McCarthy Cup, in the sixties, and one of their members smoking. When recounting this to a colleague he talked of Moss Keane on a wet day for Munster and the outline of a cigarette packet showing in the pocket of his rugby shorts, maybe this view is debateable.
I was reading an account of how the Celtic Tiger bubble got out of control in the Business section of the Indo. of Thursday Feb. the 3rd. last, page 7, and I quote: “Who can forget the crowds that queued overnight to buy housing off the plans? In the event we know (now) that some of those queuing were paid by estate agents to do so……”. I thought that only happened at marts!
