Boyle Celtic 2001As Boyle Celtic close in on the Sligo Leitrim Super League at the week-end here is the picture of the last Boyle team to do so in May 2001. It was captained by Aaron O’Connor who is in civies here due to a shoulder injury. It was managed by Michael O’Donohoe. Two players from that team are in the current side and they are Owen O’Donohoe and Lochlainn Conboy. photo courtesy of Tony Conboy
