Sympathy: Boyle GAA club extends its sincere sympathy to the Henry family, Drum, Boyle on the recent sad death of Mary Henry. Martin Henry was a very active club officer some time ago and Derek was a regular player for us especially at under age.
- It is good to see some former GAA people 'HOME FOR CHRISTMAS' such as Karl Keenan from Oz and Caoimhin Young from London with others en route. We wish those abroad, especially our large constituency in Oz, the very best over the holiday period and in the New Year.
- I am still looking for information as to the whereabouts of the H.J. Feely Tropy which was traditionally awarded to the 'Player/Clubperson of the Year'. Perhaps someone might notice it mixed up with their other trophies and let us have it for Wednesday night.
If anyone has any Boyle bunting we could use same that night also.
Although it's Christmas Week, the Club will still have a busy schedule both on and off the field. The annual quiz and "Player of the Year" presentation night will be held in St. Joseph's Hall on this Wednesday night 28th December as advertised on Martin Purcell's poster above. This is traditionally the social event of the year and the amalgamation of the quiz and the awards presentations and the moving to the more spacious surroundings of St Joseph's Hall will add to the sense of occasion. Full bar services will be avaiable as will sandwiches and finger food and late night music. The all-in admission is €10 per person.
The Club Lotto will be held on Friday night in Dodd's with a jackpot of €5,000.
For those wishing to see a very attractive game in the Abbey Park, the Under 21 Division 1 County Final between Roscommon Gaels and Strokestown will be played in Boyle on this Thursday at 2pm. All Club members are asked to be present to help with stewarding. The Club intself is involved in a very important game when Boyle Minors play the County Division 1 League Final versus Clan na Gael in Lisnamult (Roscommon) on Friday at 2.15pm. Full support is requested for this game.
Preparations are also under way for the staging of the award winning play "The Pitch" in St Joseph's Hall on Sunday 15th January. This play will be performed by a professional cast, will be of special relevance to GAA supporters as well as drama enthusiasts and it will be its only staging in this region. Wishing everyone a happy and sporting New Year.
Go raibh maith agaibh,
