On the brink...
Boyle Celtic are on the brink of being crowned this season's Sligo / Leitrim SuperLeague champions after last night's 4-2 victory over Calry Bohs.
Two goals from the league's top-scorer, Niall Brennan, and one each from Lee McKillen and Lochlainn Conboy saw Boyle ease into a 4-0 lead, only to be pegged back by two goals in quick succession, one of them an unfortunate own goal. They held on to win out 4-2 whilst title-rivals City Utd won their last match of the season 3-2 against Ballymote Celtic.
City have now completed their league programme and sit on 59 points - two ahead of Boyle Celtic on 57, but, Boyle still have two matches to play - away to Real Tubber on Friday 30th (k.o. 7pm) and home to Cartron Utd on Sunday 1st (k.o. 11am) - and one win will see the title make its way to Boyle for the first time since 2001.
All support for these two matches is very much appreciated - and very best wishes to Gerry and the lads...

And then there were 3...
Boyle Celtic are now just 3 matches, (6 points) from title glory after defeating Real Tubber 3-0 last night. City Utd, their only title rivals, also won by the same margin and currently head the table on 56 points with only 1 match left to play - meaning a maximum points total of 59.
Boyle currently lie 2 points back on 54 but with 3 matches left can reach 63, but 2 wins from those 3 matches will realise 60 points and this year's SuperLeague title.
They are in Cup semi-final action tomorrow when they travel to Strand Celtic for an 11am kick-off and are back in League action on Wednesday when they entertain Calry Bohs at 7pm.
All support at this very exciting time of the season is most welcome...

Title Charge continues
Well done to the seniors who triumphed 4-1 over near-neighbours Aughanagh Celtic in the latest match of their SuperLeague title charge. Technically an away game, Aughanagh gave up home advantage to facilitate the match going ahead and Lee McKillen took full advantage, notching a hat-trick that puts Boyle on the coat-tails of league leaders City Utd and with games in hand.
Next up is a trip to Strand Celtic on Wednesday 14th with kick-off at 7.15pm - best of luck, lads...

Commiserations to U16s
Commiserations to our U16s who gallantly lost the League Plate final last week 6-5 after an epic battle against Ballymote Celtic. They had made the final after a 3-2 semi-final victory over Merville Utd earlier in the week and just came up short in the final but it was a great effort to get that far and to go that far in the final!!
Many thanks to Joe Magee, Johnny Dwyer and all involved in preparing and looking after the squad and well done lads!
