Boyle GAA club news
The highlight of the week end has to be the performance of our U12s in comprehensively winning the Division 1 Summer League Final against Roscommon Gaels in wind swept Fuerty on Sunday. Well done to the entire panel and their management team of Noel Casey, Jim McGrath, Brendan Doherty and Stephen Garavan. Thanks to all parents and supporters who made the trip to the final and provided transport, not just on this occasion, but throughout the entire season. It is greatly appreciated. Thanks also to Troy Takeaway for providing very welcome food for the boys on their return to the Clubroom.
Joe O’Donnell and Cooney Motors/ Cooney’s Centra were €20 winners in the most recent Club Lotto draw which was held in Daly’s Lounge. The house prize was won by Aidan Farrell. The jackpot wasn’t won and it will be at €1,500 for this Saturday night’s draw which will be held in the Moylurg Inn. Team E will be in charge.
Thanks to all who provided bags of clothing for the “Cash for Clobber”, thus making it a very successful campaign.
