Update April 8th


The McGovern Directional Drilling sponsored senior team took on St Croans in the Abbey Park. Boyle started he better and should have led by more at half time after a number of missed opportunities to pull ahead. Boyle did pull ahead in the second half through a penalty well earned by Enda Smith, with Donie stepping up to calmly slot it away. However Boyle failed to push on and gave away a penalty themselves. Rob Kearney stayed big and got his body to the bottom corner to save and Boyle were let off the hook to win by a a margin of two points on the score line of 1.12 to 0.13. Boyle team R Kearney, K Cox, C Flannagan, A Simon, T McKenna, M O Connor, E McGrath, R Finneran, E Smith, J Moran, D Smith, D East, M O Donoghue, S Kane and A Sharkey. With C McKeon, S Purcell, C Goldrick, K Cox and R Hanmore all seeing action in the second half.
They next face Roscommon Geals this coming weekend in the Abbey Park.

Boyle GAA Boys Youths Weekly Notes:
Boyle's U16 Lannon Motors Boys were unlucky to be beaten by their visiting opponents Clann na Gael on a cold and dark Tuesday evening in the Division 1 League at Abbey Park. Despite Clann scoring an early goal, Boyle were the better side in the first half and lead at break. Clann came out strong in the 2nd and managed to claw back the deficit. Both teams played some great football and were evenly matched, but Clann were able to secure the win with a small 2 point margin. Boyle 1-06 : Clann na nGael 2-05.
