Colm Boyle (born 29 July 1986) is a Gaelic footballer who plays for Davitts and, formerly, the Mayo county team.^[2] He won four All Star Awards and played in four finals of the All-Ireland Senior Football Championship, losing them all and scoring an own goal in the third.

Playing career

Boyle won six Connacht Senior Football Championships and a National Football League title.^[1]

He started at left half-back in three All-Ireland SFC finals: the 2012 decider, which Mayo lost to Donegal (by a scoreline of 0–13 to 2–11, or four points) and the 2013 decider, which Mayo lost to Dublin (by a scoreline of 1–14 to 2-12, or one point).^[3]^[4]^[5]^[6] The 2017 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship final, his fourth, was the third final in which he started at left half-back and it was another loss to Dublin.

Before that he started in the centre in the 2016 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship final as Mayo lost again, though Dublin needed a replay on this occasion.

He missed the 2020 and 2021 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship final losses to Dublin and Tyrone respectively, due to a torn anterior cruciate ligament, and retired from inter-county football at the end of 2021.^[1]

Boyle made an appearance for Ireland against Australia in the 2013 International Rules Series, scoring a total of one over.^[7]

Boyle attended St Colman's College, Claremorris.^[8] Ahead of the 2023 season, he was named coach and selector of the Mayo minor team ahead of the 2023 season.^[1]
