Mon. 1.30am.
It was a weekend of mixed fortunes on the playing fields. The U16s travelled to Strokestown and lost to a stronger local outfit on Sunday while the McGovern Directional Drilling seniors had a convincing win over Strokestown in the Abbey Park later on Sunday in the first round of the O’Rourke Cup. Boyle had an excellent first half and led at the break on the score of Boyle 10 points Strokestown 5 points. Boyle lost their way for a ten minute spell in the middle of the second half and a Strokestown penalty left just a point between the sides. However a Jim Suffin point followed by ones by Smith, Purcell –from the acutest angle and Callaghan gave them victory on the final score of B. 15 points Str. 1.8. The Boyle team was as follows: T.Lowe, B.Supple, K.Supple Captain for 2011, C. Boylan, A. Sharkey, M.O’Connor, S. Purcell 1pt., S. Tonry (Vice Capt.), C. Cox, D. Callagan 1, C. Smith 6, K.McLoughlin 2, M.O’Donohoe 3, D.O’Connor, L.Conroy 1 with P.Simon, Ml. O’Donnell, J. Suffin 1, J.Lyons. while it was a good overall performance those who stood out in the first half included Smith, O’Donhoe and Conroy -with a neat back heel- up front, with Lowe all through and Seanie Purcell gathered an amount of ball in the second half and drove on, and towards the end Smith again was very effective while Suffin’s point was very important. A good start similar to last year and reward for the effort in training.
The U16s’ are due to meet Padraig Pearses in Boyle on 20th March in their next outing while the seniors will next be in action against Western Gaels in Frenchpark on 27th March.
Lotto:The following were €20 winners at the most recent Club Lotto draw which was held in Wynne’s Bar;- Tommy and Monica King, Joe O’Donnell, Vincent Flanagan, T.P. Toolan, Mary and Cathal McGee, Ciaran O’Neill, Tanya Brennan, Ronan Smith, Michael Harrington AND Brian O’Flaherty. The house prize was won by Fiona Beirne. The jackpot wasn’t won and a jackpot of €2,900 will carry forward to the next draw which will be held on Saturday night next in Mattimoe’s with Pat Goldrick’s team in charge.
A further Club meeting will be held in the Clubroom on this Friday night at 8pm to monitor progress with sales of tickets for the forthcoming Club fundraising draw, for which the first prize is a very attractive 4 day trip for 2 to New York to coincide with the Roscommon versus New York Connacht Championship game on 1st May. All who have been allocated tickets are requested to attend with sales proceeds and any unsold tickets. It is essential that there is a concentrated sales effort in the coming week and that everyone is available to give a progress report on the night.
Thanks to those who represented the Club in the Scór County Finals in Ballinaheglish on Saturday night last. The Club extends its best wishes to recent Scór na nOg participant Karen Carty who will be representing Abbey Community College in the “Our School’s Got Talent” Connacht Finals in Castlebar on 16th March. Congratulations to our latest All Ireland medallist, Donal Smith who was a member of the DCU Freshers team which won the National title last week. Well done also to Club members Darren O’Connor and Jim Suffin who acquitted themselves with distinction in the boxing tournament which was held in Boyle at the weekend.
Next weekend’s football action will see the minors travel to Kiltoom to take on St. Brigids in the Division 1 League while the Cooney Motors/ Cooney Centra junior team will travel to Kilglass to take on the home team in the Tansey Cup-see fixtures for full details of both games.
The Club encourages all GAA and quiz enthusiasts to support a special table quiz in the Moylurg Inn on Friday night next in aid of Brisbane GAA whose playing facilities were destroyed by the recent floods. This is in response to an appeal by Killaraght native Ciaran Conlon who is actively involved with the GAA there. Finally, the Club extend good wishes for a speedy recovery to former Club star Richard Fitzpatrick who was recently involved in a traffic accident and to minor stalwart, Eoin Lavin, who was injured while playing for Abbey Community College last week.
The Connacht Colleges senior 'A' football final will takes place on Saturday the 12th in Hyde Park where Summerhill take on St. Jarlath’s. Games at this and further levels often provide really fine exhibitions of football.
(Since there is so much content here I will postpone a simpler outline of the rules et al of cricket until a few days hence. There have been a number of requests for same as the outline posted on Sat. last was thought a little confusing.)
Boyle Ladies Club.
The U16s’ had a 6.8 to 2.6 win over Kilmore in the Abbey Park on Sunday in a very entertaining encounter. Obviously Boyle turned in a very good second half performance as the sides were level at half time. Their next outing will be in Ballinlough versus Michael Glavey’s on Sunday next.
