Senior Club
Boyle had an exciting first round opener against Padraig Pearses in the Senior Championship on Sunday. After making the long journey to Woodmount, the lads tore in to the home side and amassed a 12 point lead in the second half, with goals from James Bolger, Enda Smith and Donie Smith. However, Pearses hauled back the deficit with the aid of a significant breeze in the second half, and in the last play of the game scored a goal for it to finish level on a scoreline of 2-10 to 3-07.
