| IT IS SAD TO REPORT THE RECENT DEATH OF TONY BOYLE  Tony was, until lately, a regular player with the GEMS. A Joiner by trade, he played a lot of Squash before taking up Golf. He was keen watcher of Football and an avid follower of Manchester United. He liked a regular flutter on the horses and was always pleased when one-up on The Bookies! A quiet person, but always one with a tale to tell. Tony was a true GEM. |
