The Keenan Cup Final between Tulsk and Castlerea St. Kevins will be held in the Abbey Park on this Tuesday at 7pm. This is an important annual fixture for the Club as the trophy for this competition for U11 teams from north west Roscommon is in memory of the late Ernan Keenan from Boyle.

Club members are asked to support the County U16 team which will play the Final of the Fr Manning Cup competition in Longlord Slashers grounds, Longford on this Wednesday evening at 7pm. There are a number of Boyle players on the panel.
The National Automation Limited minor team had a useful outing recently in preparation for the upcoming championship.
The Cooney Motors/ Cooneys Centra junior team had mixed fortunes recently. They bowed out of the County Junior A Championship against Clan na Gael in Boyle last week, but they beat the same opposition a few days later in the Tansey Cup. Thanks to Kathleen who organised the catering on both evenings. They are scheduled to play Elphin in the next round of this competition in the Abbey park on Saturday evening at 7pm.
The McGovern Directional Drilling team suffered a two point defeat to St Brigids in the O'Rourke Cup on Friday evening last in Kiltoom. This was a lively encounter with a lot of positives to be taken from it.
