Irish Gaelic footballer
Peter Boyle is an Irish Gaelic footballer who has played as a goalkeeper for Aodh Ruadh and the Donegal county team .
Playing career
Boyle played throughout the 2010 Ulster Under-21 Football Championship campaign, and made noteworthy contributions during the four-point semi-final victory over Derry .[ 1] [ 2] [ 1] 2010 All-Ireland Under-21 Football Championship , which Donegal (managed by Jim McGuinness ) narrowly lost to Dublin (managed by Jim Gavin ).[ 3]
His prospects at senior level under McGuinness's management were limited by the presence of established number one Paul Durcan and, also by Michael Boyle . However, McGuinness called him into the senior squad upon his appointment in late-2010 and Boyle did start for Donegal in McGuinness's first National Football League game in charge against Sligo in 2011 .[ 4] [ 5] [ 6]
Under the management of Rory Gallagher , Boyle started five games during the 2016 National Football League — against Down , Cork , Mayo and Kerry ,[ 7] [ 8] [ 9] [ 10] Roscommon at O'Donnell Park in Letterkenny .[ 11] Mark Anthony McGinley in goal for later games of that league campaign.[ 12] [ 13] [ 14]
McGinley retained his place throughout League and Championship 2017, as well as starting the opening league fixture of 2018, thus restricting Boyle to the bench.[citation needed
He did appear in the 2017 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship qualifier loss to Galway at Markievicz Park , but only after McGinley had been dismissed shortly before half-time.[ 15]
Under new manager Declan Bonner , Boyle returned in goal as a substitute in the opening fixture of the 2018 National Football League against Kerry, entering the field of play in the seventeenth minute following an injury to McGinley.[ 16] [ 17] Croke Park ).[ 18] Kildare , manager Declan Bonner opted for Shaun Patton as Donegal's first choice goalkeeper, prompting Boyle to quit.[ 19] [ 20] [ 21] [ 22]
