Boyle 2:12 Tulsk 2:9 - Sunday 20th October 2013

A thrilling game that might have gone either way, but didn't! Boyle led from the start and held their lead to a half time score of 2:7 to 1:5 then onwards to a glorious victory for our Boyle GAA McGovern Drilling team who are now our County Intermediate Champions 2013. True, Tulsk were always threatening, but Boyle's path to victory was always a possibility perhaps because of Boyle's dominance at centrefield by Cox and Smith.

Sunday 20th October: The Charity Walk started at Cooney's Centra, Greatmeadow, through Boyle town, Bridge Street, Main Street, Abbeytown, Maple Drive, Carrick Road finished at Cooney's Centra. It was a pity the nationally organised Cancer Walk clashed with Boyle's successful GAA County Final, but still a good number of people took part, battled against the rain, walked the walk and raised money for this very worthy cause.
