Quiz;
Friday night next the 18th in the Moylurg at 9pm
in aid of Cancer Care West. Dessie Mcloughlin and a number of Curlieu Wheelers
are supporting with their cycle in France this July. (Note to organisers re. quizzes:
they have to be promoted/pushed. They don’t just happen in terms of getting a
crowd. This happened not long ago with a Girl Guides quiz in Daly’s t.c.)
Dia dhibh,
The following were €20 winners in the last Club Lotto draw
which was held in Creighton's Bar;-Gerry Nerney, Perpetua McGee, Gary Wynne, Aiden Sheerin, Joe Tormey, Karen Dwyer, Maria
Coleman, Peter McDernott, Arthur Wheeler and John McGuinn. The house prize was
won by Marcus Lyons. The next draw will be held on Saturday night next in
Daly's, with Aidan Lavin's team in charge.
The Club completed its
successful fundraising campaign with the holding of the draw for the trailer
load of timber and other prizes on Sunday last in the Clubroom.The load of
firewood will be wending its way to Daniel Doherty, Knockroe, Castlerea (seller
Michael Bermingham). The second prize of a voucher for heating oil, kindly
sponsored by David O'Connor (Corrib Oil), was won by John Naughton, Drum,
Athlone (seller Ernie Keenan). The third prize- a cash prize of €100 was
won by Henri Clifford, Maple Drive (seller Mary Clifford). The Club extends its
thanks to all who promoted and supported this fundraiser. Thanks is especially
extended to Michael Furey, whose brainwave this was, and for the provision of
his trailer to display the firewood, also to Michael and to Billy Hanmore
and Michael Brennan who assisted in the movement of the trailer to the
various locations during the campaign.Thanks also to David O'Connor for
his sponsorship and to Martin Purcell (Purcell Print) for his generosity with
the draw cards.
It was a dissappointing week for the Club on the playing
fields, with narrow defeats in four fixtures with the exception being the National Automation
Limited minors. The U14s lost narrowly to Roscommon Gaels in Lisnamult.
They will play Strokestown in their next league outing, in the Abbey Park on
Thursday evening. The U16s also suffered a narrow defeat to Padraig Pearses in
Woodmount at the weekend. Their remaining league game versus Western Gaels will
be re-fixed after the termination of the Junior Cert exams. Meanwhile, they
will commence their Championship campaign on this Friday in the Abbey Park when
they will meet Roscommon Gaels. As stated, the minors had a good 0.
11 to 1.7 (scoreline?) win over Western Gaels in what was a good team performance in
windy conditions on Sunday. They will now have a break until after the state
exams.
The Cooney Motors/ Cooney's Centra juniors lost to St Ronans on Sunday
in the Abbey Park. They are scheduled to meet Western Gaels next weekend-see
fixtures.
The McGovern Directional Drilling intermediates suffered a one point
loss to Tulsk in the O'Gara Cup on Saturday in Tulsk. Best wishes for a speedy
recovery is extended to Cian Smith who was accidently injured in the game.
Their next outing will be in the championship on Saturday week 26th when they
will play St Barry's in the Abbey Park at 7pm. It is expected that there
will be a double header on that occasion with Tulsk and St Ronans also doing
championship battle.
The Club made a special presentation to All Ireland medal
winner and club stalwart John Joe Nerney, to mark his recent ninetieth
birthday. In expressing his appreciation of the award, John Joe showed that he
is fully tuned in to GAA activities by making some astute comments on football
happenings at local and national level.
Liam Conroy was formally presented with
his cheque in the amount of €5,800 which he won on the Club Lotto
recently.
The Club expresses its thanks to Michael Gilmartin, Kathleen Hanmore
and Michael Costello for completing and submitting a lengthy Sports Capital
Grant application form within a very short schedule. It is to be hoped that
their hard work will yield results.
Best wishes are extended to the Roscommon
senior panel and management in the Connacht Championship versus Galway on
Sunday next, and especially to our Boyle representatives, Sean Purcell, Donie Smith, Tadhg Lowe (Donie and Tadgh getting called up after theri U 21 heroics)
and also to Joe Sweeney and James O'Boyle of the manageemnt team.The Club will also be assisting the Club Cairde Ros Comáin
bridge collection at the weekend.
Boyle Ladies Club;
The junior ladies went down narrowly to Claregalway in an
exciting Connacht League game in the Abbey Park on Monday last. They lost to
Ballinameen in a junior league game played in galeforce conditions in
Ballinameen on Sunday. A disappointing first half performance, when they had
the wind advantage, left too much to do despite a gallant second half effort.The
U12 girls played a thrilling draw with St Michaels in a wet Cootehall last
week.
Go raibh maith agaibh,
