Breaking News.........Changes for 2024 and beyond........Read on.......             The Committee, who have efficiently and voluntarily run the Bayside Boules Community Group since late 2019 have discussed, for some time, the future direction of  our sporting organisation. Since we have started to spread our wings by playing other groups and since we intend to continue playing Home and Away with other boules groups/clubs we are intent on creating an identity as a 'Club' as is the case with most of the other new boules groups.

Some of the Committee will be meeting an officer of Fingal, Janette Scott in early January  with a view to gleaning advice and support for the future development of Bayside Boules.  Monday Competition: This is the penultimate table with Ciarán in the lead.  Chris could technically have stolen the title had he been able to play on the final Monday and Ciarán was to lose all his games.  Unfortunately, he was unable to play and Ciarán won on merit anyway on the final Monday.   He also beat Tom Buckley's record of 20 'Thirteens' in a competition.  He retains the trophy which we will present formally at the first session of the next round of competition.  Congratulations Ciarán!! Unusually we didn't lose any Monday to inclement weather.  Also, we wish Joan all the best with her continuing recovery and will be delighted to see her back in action in 2024.  All the best to any other of pour members who are indisposed over this Christmas.
