7.45. The main event of the week was the victory of the National Automation Limited minors in the County Minor Division 1 Semi-Final over Castlerea St Kevin's in Kiltoom on Friday evening last. It was a close encounter all through and Boyle were glad to survive with a three point victory. They will lay their County Title on the line on Sunday next in Kiltoom at 2pm in the County Final when they will take on Strokestown. Good luck to the panel and to their management team of Vincent Flanagan, Jonathan Conroy, Liam Conroy, Aidan Lavin and James Goldrick. Supporters are asked to decorate the town with Boyle colours and to go along and support the lads. if at all possible.
The Keenan Cup Final between Eire Og and Strokestown which was scheduled for last week had to be postponed because of the adverse weather. It has been re-fixed for this Wednesday at 6pm in the Abbey Park.
The Garda Cup is about to commence and management and players will be notified of details.
The Cooney Motors/ Cooney's Centra juniors had a good win over Kilglass Gaels in the Abbey Park on Saturday evening last. This brings them into the final stages of this competition. (Apparently this was an amazingly high scoring game but I need to have confirmation of same before I can trust printing it).
The Club wishes "bon voyage" to Jonathan Lyons who is heading for Australia in the coming week. Jonathan signed off, for the present, in the Boyle colours by scoring a spectacular goal against Kilglass Gaels on Saturday evening.
The National Automation Limited U21s will commence their campaign on Saturday the 20th of October with an away game against Roscommon Gaels.This will be followed with a fixture against Castlerea St Kevins in Boyle on 27th October and against Clan na Gael on the 3rd of November at a neutral venue. Their management team of David Casey, Ciaran Supple, Martin Purcell and Joe Sweeney are wished every success.
The Club extends its thanks to Tony and Mark McGovern of McGovern Directional Drilling for their generous sponsorship of our Intermediate team. Thanks is extended to the intermediate panel and their management team of David O'Connor, Bernard Shannon, Peter Gavigan and Dave O'Daly  for their committment throughout the season. 
The Club sends its best wishes to the Boyle Ladies in their Connacht Junior Semi Final in Strokestown on Sunday. It's a pity that both the Ladies and the Minor Final have to clash as many families have connections on both teams.
The Club extends its sincerest sympathies to the McKenzie family, Boyle, on the tragic passing of Paddy McKenzie. A former player himself Paddy had a lifelong interest in the GAA
Boyle Ladies;
Boyle Ladies footballers will play their most important fixture to date on Sunday next in Strokestown at 2.30pm when they will take on Sligo champions St. Farnans in the Connacht Junior Semi Final. They girls have had a great run of success this season and they are hopeful of reaching a Connacht Final. As many supporters as possible are asked to go along and cheer on the girls.
The U14 Girls bowed out of the County Championship on Friday evening last in Kilbride following a heartbreaking one point defeat to the home side in a thriller. Thanks to the girls and their management for their commitment throughout the season.
The Ladies Club extends its best wishes to the Minor boys
