Christmas is coming....
As Christmas is coming up fast and furious we are hoping to have a night out for the badminton club.
There is a sign up sheet in the complex for anyone who is interested and if possible when signing also indicate which of the three proposed dates might suit best, December 17th, 18th or 19th.
We've put a lot of effort in to keeping our club so active and vibrant and we deserve a night out on the back of it and this is the perfect time to do it!
Div 7 League Up and Running..
Division 7 travelled to Ballygar last week for their first match of the season. Ballygar are the newest club to join the Roscommon League and have taken to competition very well. They gave our Boyle team a fantastic night of badminton, some very close matches and ultimately took a 5-2 victory on their home courts.
The Division 5 and 6 leagues are both due to commence before Christmas so stay tuned for updates as they happen.

Club Update for October...
National Badminton Week happened from 16th - 24th October and we held two free open nights as part of the nationwide activities. Everyone who came in enjoyed some good badminton and light refreshments on both evenings.
On Thursday 28th October we had our first visit to the club by Will O Neill, Irish #10 Mens Singles player, for some coaching. Will put us through our paces and gave us some great tips on badminton basics such as footwork, positioning and offensive/defensive play.
Will is to join us again this Thursday 4th November and his training is available to any member of the club who wishes to join it. It is not only valuable to those participating in league competition but to any member who might like to learn a little more about the game we all love.
The Loughglynn Open was held on Sunday 31st October for Senior players and was a huge success for them with attendance from clubs in Roscommon, Mayo, Leitrim and Sligo. There were seven players attending from Boyle and we enjoyed a great evening of Doubles and Mixed competition. Well done to Jim, Paul and the gang in Loughglynn/Ballagadereen clubs for putting massive effort in to running the competition.

Loughglynn Open 2010
The new Roscommon County Badminton website has the flyer and entry form for this years Loughglynn Open available for download. The competition will run over Saturday 30th October for Juveniles and Sunday 31st October for Seniors.
In 2009 there were quite a few entries in Loughglynn from Boyle so hopefully this years competition will draw just as much interest.
