We would like to thank all our players, management & back-room staff for all the hours of hard work and commitment they have put in over the last number of months. Without your dedication to club we would not have the pleasure of experiencing so many great games, be they be good days or bad days.

DEEPEST SYMPATHY
Our club lost one of its most loyal and steadfast supporters, our Boyle GAA Club President, Mr Barry Feely, who passed away last week. Barry has been a lifelong supporter of our club both on and off the pitch. Barry followed in the footsteps of his grandfather, Patrick J Feely, who was one of the founding members of the GAA in County Roscommon and Barry’s own father, Henry Feely, who was a founding member of the Northern County GAA Board. Barry was a member of the 1964 Junior Championship winning team and once he hung up his football boots he held many executive roles within the club over the course of 50 years. He was Club Treasurer in 1970 and he then held the position of Club Chairperson on two separate occasions during the 70’s and 80’s. He was also involved in the purchasing and development of the lands where our current club pitch, the Abbey Park, now stands.
Barry’s family carry on the strong tradition of involvement in the GAA that their father has taught them, his son Shane is our current Club Chairperson, his daughter Rhona has held several roles in the LGFA including her current role as PRO and a number of his extended family hold numerous positions on our executive committee and also play at both senior and junior level with the GAA, LGFA and Camogie clubs.
We wish to extend our heartfelt condolences to Ursula, Rhona, Colin, Ciara, Finbarr and Shane and to the extended Feely and Killoran family on the sad passing of Barry.
Thank you to all who came out to take part in our guard of honour and who helped with traffic control for Barry’s removal at Feelystone
