Boyle Basketball

The Under 10 boys participated in the Shannonside blitz in Kilglass hosted by the Kilmore Club last Sunday. This was the lads first competive basketball outing and they acquitted themselves well against opposition from Mohill and Kilmore. While they didnt take home any silverware reports from coach O'Brien suggest that the easter eggs went down better than any medals ! - well done lads !!

The U14 girls lost their league game against old rivals Mohill tonight. A sharper Mohill outfit were 2o points up going into the 4th Quarter but Boyle pulled back with some good scores from Eithne McNamara , Melissa McGoldrick and Sinead Meehan. Poor finishing under the boards however denied Boyle several chances to get back into serious contention and Mohill finished 14 points ahead at the final whistle.

Congratulations to our senior Ladies who won the Shannonside league last Saturday night.
The girls lost only 1 game during the season and have retained the league title. Mohill pushed the home side all the way and but for a depleted squad might have caused an upset. Score : Boyle 55 Mohill 46.
Boyle : Siobhan Conroy, Saoirse O'Flaherty, Ann Marie Hourigan, Rachel Cox, Devin Finneran, Tracey Mulrennan , Aideen Kearney, Ella Millett, Ellen Egan, Deirdre Gunning: coach : Terry Mattimoe
