Last Saturday saw PTC winners Boyne commence their season against AIL Div 3 opponents, Naas, in the Leinster Senior League. This is a competition that the Drogheda club qualified, through finishing in 2nd place in the Leinster Div 1 A league last season. Whilst it is a senior competition and gives an opportunity to qualifying AIL teams to test their mettle against AIL opposition, nevertheless, it also gives peripheral squad players a chance to show their ability.
The club will be holding a novel and fun Audio/Visual Table Quiz and Mastermind night in the Bettystown Court Hotel on Thursday 9th of September 2010 @ 8:30pm
We will be featuring a lot of Visual questions on a big screen as well as audio sounds of various celebrities, bands and historic moments in time. There will be questions to suit everyones level of intelligencia.The quiz will be high tech in presentation but the content will provide plenty of entertainment for the participants and nobody should be overawed, because the emphasis will be on enjoyment and something to suit everybody.
Here is a roundup of all the scores for the weekend of 26th/27th April

INTERVIEW NIALL RONAN: Gerry Thornley talks to the number seven who has thrived at this rarefied level, with signs that not only is he enjoying it, but it suits him.
WHEN NIALL Ronan began this season the emphasis for openside flankers was on slowing down opposition ball or forcing turnovers. They were the destroyers and they were in their element. The likes of Heinrich Brüssow, David Pocock and Richie McCaw were ruling the roost.
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.
Congrationlations to ex-Boyne youths player Shane Monahan who is moving from the Leinster Academy to play with Connacht next season. Shane follows a strong list of ex-Boyne players who have played for the Irish provinces, including Shane Horgan with Leinster, Niall Ronan with Munster and Mark McHugh who played with Connacht before moving to France.
