Tues. 12.30....The U21 game WILL now go ahead this coming week-end when Boyle play Strokestown in Strokestown (on a toss for venue).

This on/off scenario makes the poster of notices like this look fairly ....I dunno....

Mon. 11.30.   Boyle National Automated Ltd. U 21s' have no game this coming week-end as was thought. Apparently Pearses and Strokestown have to 'replay' as they are both level on points. This is to decide who 'tops' the table which will decide who they play in the semi-finals...Ros. Gaels or Boyle. On looking at the table, in Roscommon's site, while they are both level on points Str. are ahead on scoring diff. but apparently that does not decide as there are rules that overplay that!  Of course this throws up the issues with running a competition at this time of the year because of the demands on these players through the year. The success of St. Brigid's seniors has meant a delay in the competion of a few weeks as far as I can gather. I remember in 2004 Boyle V Kilmore straddling Christmas and going on into Jan. and when Boyle won a 'B' under 21 in '94 it was late December.

***On a seperate note one has to commend again the Connacht final, St. Brigid's v Ballaghaderreen, for the true spirit in which it was played which was in stark contrast to the meaness of other finals as shown on T.G. 4 last Sunday. 

Sun. 11.55.
Make a note of the piece re. water damage to dressing-rooms in any freeze and the excess now standing at €25,000 in today's Sunday's Indo. Sport page 6 col
I presume every player is aware that from next year gum shields are compulsory. This is something I have advocated from time to time.
Plans are taking shape nicely for our Quiz night on 28th December in St Joseph's Hall. The indications are that there will be a full house on the night.

The Club is also joining forces in a formidable alliance with Boyle Ladies GAA Club to hold a presentation night dinner-dance in Kilronan Castle Hotel on the 9th of February. More details will be announced later.

The Club wishes to thank all those who act as loyal sellers of our Club Lotto tickets on a fortnightly basis. This is our main source of funding and we wish to also thank our numerous patrons and our envelope sponsors Brogans and Natural Options Pharmacies. The Club is disappointed that its plans for further badly needed facility development has had to be put on hold due to the Club being unsuccessful in securing Sports Capital Grant funding despite putting forward a very detailed application. The Club congratulates all groups in the region that have been successful.
Sympathy is extended to the Smith and Finn families, Boyle on the death of Mrs Bridie Finn, Marian Road and the Scanlon family, Deerpark on the death of John Scanlon.
