Road to Croker Meeting Wed. at 9 and each Wednesday night with the 'Official Launch' onj Wed. the 31st. Along with the 'full day' walkers/collectors people who might be able able to give a part of a day to give a 'dig out' in say Longford/Mullingar or some such place on an evening are also asked to contact Kathleen or Aidan or one of the captains whose names I'll have here anon. It is necessary to 'firm up' the names and days NOW so we know the picture.


The following were €20 winners at the most recent Club Lotto draw which was held recently in the Railway Bar; Finola Doherty, Paul and Anita Kearney, Tom McGarrity, Eileen McGowan, John Joe Carty, Paddy Doran, James McGee, Damien Wallace, Marie McPadden and John Mitchell. The house prize was won by Alice Mattimoe. The numbers drawn were: 1/7/8/27. There was no jackpot winner and it will stand at €4,100 for this week's draw which will be held in Clarke's Bar on Saturday night next. Team B will be in charge.

The U14s have their Garda Cup game with Strokestown in the Abbey Park on this Thursday at 7pm.

The U16s will also play Strokestown opposition on Saturday next at 2.30 pm in Elphin in the Division 1 Championship semi final.

The National Automation Limited minors and the Cooney Motors/ Cooneys Centra teams will have no action this weekend.

The McGovern Directional Drilling team will travel to Kilmore on Saturday evening next to take on Kilglass Gaels in the Intermediate Championship quarterfinal at 7pm. All supporters are asked to come along for this important fixture.

The Club extends its thanks to the Roscommon minor team panel and management for having given us such an enjoyable year. It was a wonderful achievement to reach the All Ireland Semi Final and to go down narrowly to an excellent Tipperary team. The Club is proud of them and especially Donie, Enda and Tadhg.

Thanks is extended to the minor club who brought a coach load of underage members to Croke Park on Sunday. An enjoyable day was had by all.

The Club extends its congratulations to Saoirse Wynne, daughter of Boyle senior team manager, Garry, and Ann, who won the Community Games National title in the U10 hurdles on Sunday in Athlone and to Kate Murphy who won bronze in the U8 gymnastics.

The Road to Croker fundraising project is taking shape. Team captains have been appointed to take charge of each of the six days of walking. It is anticipated that ALL adult club members-male and female, will participate on at least one of the days. Those who have not already done so are asked to confirm with Club Secretary Kathleen Hanmore (086 1229421) regarding which day they will be available to participate in walking or collecting. The next planning meeting for this project will be held in the Clubrooms on this Wednesday at 9pm. Members of all three sections of the Club are requested to attend.
