Stephens day this year once again saw a huge turnout for a Gaelic Tag football match. This was the first years where our Ladies team got involved. It was a case of over 25s v under 25s. With some harsh ref-ing decisions the game was deemed a draw and went to penalties won the over 25s once again victorious. Thanks to all who showed up in support of the event.

Next up was Friday the 28th which proved to be yet again a great social event for Boyle GAA. With quiz master Tony Conboy in flying form with both questions and wit in front of a full house. At the end of the night there was no dividing the teams at the fore with McCauley/Cox's team sharing the spoils with Gannon/Lavin's and Co.
