Pre-Season training starts on Tuesday 13th July at 7:30 in Shamrock Lodge and will continue to run every Tuesday & Thursday for the rest of the summer. This training is open to Senior players, under-19 players (born 92/93) and under-17 (born 94/95) players.

Ex Boyne player Niall Ronan played a great game against the NZ Maori today. The new rule interpretation is leading to a faster more open game and this suited Niall who carried well. Ireland came back from 18 - 0 down to go in at 18 all at the break, after getting used to the higher pace required. Displaying a bit more fearlessness on the pitch than he did in the skies, Niall worked the breakdown at the edge and was unlucky to be penalised 3 times by referree Lawrence Bryce, but with more exposure to the new breakdown rules the Irish players will be less likely to infringe. The team were very unlucky to lose out 31 - 28, but many of those will be part of the Irish squad for the 2011 World Cup.

The club would like to extend its sincere condolences to Anna Carlos, wife of Paul Carlos, President of Boyne RFC, and the Maher Family, on the recent sad and sudden loss of their brother John Maher.

Bevan Duffy picked up the Paul Sheeran Club Player of the Year after being an integral part of Boyne's Newstalk Provincial Towns Cup winning team; a notable triumph for the Drogheda club who won the coveted pot for the second year in a row. The accomplished centre was also the stand-out performer in the Leinster League as his club finished runners up to Seapoint while he made a vital contribution to Leinster winning the Junior Interprovincial for the third year in succession. The progressive Drogheda club have been in the Leinster honours enclosure over recent years and apart altogether from their exploits on the field of play, they also picked up The Referees Club Of The Year in 2007 along with Leinster PRO Of The Year last year ( Seamie Briscoe) and this year Bevan Duffy taking the coveted best player award for club rugby in Leinster.
Seamie Briscoe, who was at the awards dinner, commented that it was a great honour indeed, to once again have the club receive such an award at the highest level. It was well deserved he said, and it went to one of the most unassuming lads in the club. Bevan is a super player and is a member of a great squad of players who have brought tremendous honour to the club.
