A medal with a Boyle connection was among a number of items of GAA memorabilia that went to auction in Kilkenny earlier this week.
The rose gold and silver medal with the inscription “Boyle – G.A.A. 1914,” on the reverse is understood to have sold for €100.
No further information was available on what competition the medal referred to or who the purchaser was.
Conducted by Fonsie Mealy Auctioneers, a number of other Roscommon memorabilia were for sale including a programme for the 1946 Roscommon v Kerry All Ireland and one also for the replay.
It is understood the sale price was €210 and €420 respectively.
The highest selling lot on the day was Kerry Footballer, Joe Barrett’s GAA Medal Collection. This collection included a number of medals such as All Ireland Winners Medals, Munster Senior Title Medals and many more. Deemed a truly unique collection of medals directly linked to an icon and stalwart of the GAA, this collection of a lifetime sold at the hammer price of €40,000.
