Boyle GAA Blog ...by Tony Conboy

Sat.1o pm.....The celebrations have subsided after the Intermediate title success of the McGovern Directional Drilling team on Sunday last. The Club wishes to thank the public who came out in such numbers to welcome the team home. The lads will be back in action on Sunday next when they will play Eslin in the Connacht Semi Final in Pairc Sean Mac Diarmada, Carrick on Shannon at 1.30pm. We appeal once again to our many supporters to make the short journey to Carrick. It is an unique opportunity to see the team play such an important game so close to home.

The Cooney Motors/ Cooneys Centra Juniors played Kilmore in the North B Championship on Bank Holiday Monday. They are expected to be in action in the Division 4 League semi final versus Clan na Gael==see fixtures.

The National Automation Limited U21s had a hard earned win over Clan na Gael in the Division 1 Championship quarter final in Enfield on Saturday.

The U11s finally got their first outing in the Keenan Cup on Saturday last when they defeated Eire Og in incessant rain in the Abbey Park. It is a pity that this competition has been left until this time of year as playing in such conditions does nothing for skill development or love of the sport. Both teams made history on Saturday as it was the first game at which the Boyle Credit Union sponsored scoreboard was in operation. Both sides kept the scoreboard operator very busy!

 Well done to the Minor Club for bringing the very young players to the Compromise Rules International in Croke Park.

The Garda Cup fixtures should soon be announced for our U14 player.

The Club Lotto will be held in An Craoibhin on Saturday night next and Team ‘C’ will be in charge.

Go raibh maith agaibh.
