Tuesday; 1.40. Apart from the players who are to meet at Trojan or as advised, the remainder of the Boyle G.A.A. personel are requested to meet at the Church at 6, in the Boyle colours if possible, to form a guard of honour. t.c.
Mon. 2 p.m. Matters of sport paled into insignificence in Boyle on
Saturday night last when the news broke of the fatal accident which took from
us popular young minor player Eoin Lavin. Eoin was a member of last
year's County title winning Division 1 Minor team and he was a member of last
year's County U16 panel and there were strong hopes that he would go on to
represent his club and his county with distinction in the future. He
was ever present at all Club activities whether training or playing
with his colleagues or by the side of his father Aidan (our Club
Chairman) in Abbey Park when carrying out Club duties, always unassuming
and impeccably mannered. The thoughts and prayers of all Club members and
indeed the entire community are with his father Aidan, his mother Trudy and his
sister Vicky and the extended Lavin Family at this difficult time. Ar dheis Dé
go raibh a h-anam dílis.
All scheduled Club activity involving the Club
(including the Ladies Club and the Minor Club) was cancelled at the weekend as
a mark of respect. Details of rescheduled games will be notified when
arranged.
Next weekend's Club Lotto draw is also being postponed.
The Club also
extends its sympathy to the Ward Family, Behy, Boyle on the death of Louie
Ward, a former club player in the fifties and the father of a family that is
synonomous with GAA in Boyle and Ballinameen and indeed throughout the County.
The Club congratulates Mrs Cooney, Abbey Terrace on celebrating her one
hundreth birthday last week, and all of our players, male and female, who
received the Leaving Cert results.
Go raibh maith agaibh,

Sun. 8.05.
The general public are requested to delay plans to visit the Lavin family at this time. This is to afford the family the necessary time and space to reflect.
Also it should be recognised, when visiting, that parking is an issue and hazardous. So care is advised.
The house will be open to the public from 4 p.m. Monday to 4 p.m. Tuesday, after which it will be private. Removal will take place on Tuesday evening to St. Joseph’s Church, Boyle for 7 p.m. with Mass of Christian Burial on Wednesday at 12 noon.
Sunday 2.30 p.m. Boyle GAA Club is shocked and deeply saddened by the tragic news of the death of Eoin Lavin. The thoughts and prayers of the club membership and indeed the whole community are with parents, Aidan and Trudy, sister Vicky and the extended Lavin and Roddy families. t.c.
