The following were €20 winners at the most recent Club Lotto draw which was held recently in the Moylurg Inn;- Colm Loftus, T.P. Toolan, Gerard Lavin, Ray Lynam, Seamie McManus and Peter Conroy. The house prize was won by Enda Smith. The jackpot wasn’t won and it will stand at €4,600 for this Saturday night’s draw which will be held in Daly’s Bar. Team ‘A’ will be in charge. Thanks  to all who have responded to the Club Lotto membership renewal request. They will be contacted by a Club official during the coming week.
The long awaited U11 Keenan Cup and U14 Garda Cup competitions will commence towards end of October. The respective panels have been preparing eagerly for some considerable time and it’s a pity that they will have to play when playing conditions are likely to have deteriorated.
The National Automation Limited U21s will play St Aidans in the U21 Division 1 Championship in Ballyforan on Sunday at 12 noon. (the County Senior Final between St. Brigid’s and western Gaels is on Sunday @ 4. I am told that this game will also be televised by T. na G. Cane Western Gaels break the dominance of Brigid’s ?)
The Cooney Motors/ Cooney’s Centra Juniors are still awaiting news of two fixtures; their Junior ‘B’ North Semi- Final versus Kilmore and their  Division 4 League Semi-Final versus Clan na Gael.
The McGovern Directional Drilling Intermediates are in preparation for their upcoming Championship Final versus Tulsk on Sunday the 20th October. It’s time to decorate the town and parish with maroon and white. Flags and bunting are available from Kelly’s Londis and Abbeytown Express store.
Sympathy is extended to Mickey Cull, Drumderrig Nursing Home on the death of his mother, and to Eamon Horan, Lisserdrea on the passing of his mother in Ballinafad.
The Club extends its congratulations to Interediate player Cillian Cox who celebrated his 21st birthday at the weekend. Congrats also to long-serving Boyle stalwart Jonathan Conroy who was part of the Fuerty Junior winning C’Ship team which defeated Ml. Glavey’s in Elphin on Sunday.
Those interested in participating in Scór na nOg are advised that entries must be submitted to the Coiste Scór Ros Comáin by 1st November. The Club is anxious that someone will take responsibility for promoting and organising Scór in the Club, as it is an equally important aspect of the GAA.
