Youth Registration Night

The Youth Registration Night takes place tonight, Wednesday 20th, from 7.30pm in the Clubhouse. Registration will be based on the year of birth and is open to all players born 1993 to 2002 inclusive.

Registration costs €50 / player or €75 for a family of two or more. There is also an option to pre-pay the training fees for the full season.

If you miss the registration night, please contact your manager from last season as soon as possible to express your intent to play in the new season. We need to know numbers at each age-group as soon as possible so that we can enter the appropriate number of teams.

This season there is a change to qualifying ages, falling in line with the UEFA/FAI directive, and we have the option to enter teams at:-

U11 / U12 / U13 / U14 / U15 / U16 / U17 / U18 / U19

Entry will be, first and foremost, based on the number of players registering at each age group and will then be based on sufficient teams entering from the clubs in the Sligo/Leitrim league area.

Ian Beirne Memorial 7-a-side

The tournament was, once again, a great success - a fitting tribute to Ian. Well done to all the teams who entered and many congratulations to the winners, again, Scanlons, who overcame a gallant Moylurg 2-1 in a great final.

Many thanks to all who came down to support the teams, to Denis and all at Dodds Bar for arranging the presentation and to Owen, Sean and Eddie for refereeing the matches.

Aughanagh v Troy

Thursdays Report
The usual suspects were all to the fore on Day 1 of the tournament. Reigning champions Scanlons were impressive and made short work of their opposition. The Moylurg look very strong and are the new tournament favourites. The legends excelled themselves as usual and somehow scraped a draw against Trojan. Think "The Alamo".
Magee Motors have a good footballing side and may spring a surprise yet on the big 2.

UnderAge Registration Night

UnderAge registration takes place on Wednesday 20th July at 7.30pm in the Clubhouse for all players born in 1993 right up to and including 2002.

Registration will be taken based on the year the player was born - we will then see what options we have for entering teams as this year, with the Age Re-Alignment (a UEFA / FAI directive) being rolled-out, the Sligo / Leitrim Youth Schoolboys and Girls League is looking to hold league competition at every age level from U11 right through to U19. This will be determined by the numbers of players available in each Club and, from there, the number of Clubs who enter a team in each League.

Any queries in relation to the new age policy can be explained at registration.

Boyle Celtic AGM

The Boyle Celtic AGM was held on Friday 1st July in the Clubhouse with a good attendance, in particular it was heartening to see some of the first team squad in attendance.

Kieran Spellman stepped down as Chairman after 10 years in the role for a very well-deserved break. We can never thank Kieran enough for the time and effort he put into Boyle Celtic during his tenure as Chairman and his years on the committe before that. As the new Chairman, Paddy McLoughlin, said in his acceptance speech, if he can achieve half as much for Boyle Celtic as Kieran did, he will be more than satisfied.

The Secretary's and Treasurer's reports were read out by Richard Kennedy and Eddie Conroy respectively. Motions to elect Paddy McLoughlin as Chairman and re-elect the Secretary, Treasurer and PRO were also passed unopposed.

Two items arising out of the AGM are:-
The need to have a representative from each squad, not necessarily the same one all the time, attend future committee meetings to spread the word of what is happening in the Club
To appoint a Youth Development Officer to ensure our U16 / U18 players can progress as seamlessly as possible into the Senior ranks, be it through the Reserves or Senior teams.
