Division 7 starts...

Division 7 in Roscommon is a newly formed league and Boyle had their first match last night.

The Boyle team played at home against Ballinaheglish and on their first league outing secured a home win. There were some very good, closely fought encounters during the match and Boyle did very well to overcome the Ballinaheglish challenge.

Congratulations to all who played last night.

Congrats to Wendy & Mel

A huge CONGRATULATIONS to Mel and Wendy on their recent participation in Today FMs Shave or Dye event with Ray D'arcy in Dublin in aid of the Irish Cancer Society.

I have a "before" shot of the girls here.....

and located an "after" shot of Wendy but not Mel....yet!!

I know some club members already sponsored the girls however for such a worthy cause there may be some more who would like to donate and I have no doubt they'll be happy to accept support at any time.

Well done ladies, we're very proud of ye!

Roscommon Success in Inter County

On Sunday 14th February, the Roscommon County team competed in Group 2 of the Inter-County Class 4 competition in the University of Limerick, the team included a number of our Boyle players.

They had a great outing and emerged second in their group, which comprised Cork, Waterford, Wexford and Sligo, to qualify for the Inter-County Finals in Galway Lawn Tennis Club at the end of March. The Roscommon team won all of their matches but were just pipped to first place by Waterford who had taken more sets from their opponents than Roscommon had.

Well done and congratulations to the whole team and particularly to our own club members, Padraic, John, Mandy, Ruth, Bernie and Sean.

League Update

Division 5 kicked off their league campaign in Ballaghadereen last week with a 4-3 victory over the home team. There were some very close games in the encounter so emerging with an away win was a great result.

Division 6 have played three matches at this stage and are holding their own in all, since the first successful game against Dysart they have overcome the Strokestown challenge in both the home and away legs.

Division 6 Roscommon League

Well done to Aisling and to Paul on their first outings in Singles, they both put in fantastic performances. The next match is Thursday 4th in Strokestown.
