A big congratulations to Borrisoleigh Léiriu Winners on the great achievement of winning the All-Ireland Scór na nÓg 2014 Title. Borrisoleigh Scór are very proud of you and your achievement. There was a huge turnout for the Home coming on Sunday Evening which was well received by our victors.
Thank you message from the Leiriú group
Thanks to the Principal, Management and Staff of St. Joseph’s College who gave us a wonderful reception and generous presentation on Monday. We were very proud and privileged to represent our schools and parish at All-Ireland level.
The group and producer would particularly like to acknowledge the immense contribution of Noreen and Donal Ryan to our success. Noreen’s efficient organisation and Donal’s skilled craftsmanship ensured that no stone was left unturned at any stage in terms of our preparation and performance.
Go raibh míle maith agaibh go léir.
History was made in the Royal Theatre, Castlebar on Saturday 1st March 2014 when the Writer/Producer of the All Ireland Winning Act 2013 , Ailish Murray handed over the Cup to her sister,
Kay Ryan, Writer/Producer of the All Ireland Winning Act 2014. Comhghairdeas libh.
Special thanks were paid to Kay at the homecoming for all her hard work over the last number of months. Kay has been an outstanding coach and mentor. Everyone knows that All Ireland wins don’t happen over night. The children expressed their absolute privilege and honour at performing the play with pride at All Ireland level, their treasured memories and friendships they hold and deeply cherish out of it. Míle buíochas a Cáit.

Scór na nÓg: Huge congratulation to the Léiriú group who won the All Ireland Final in Castlebar last Saturday. It was an extremely proud day for the club and the parish as a marvellous bunch of talented young people brought huge honour to the club. Their work and their commitment over the past number of months has now paid huge dividends and huge credit must go to them, their mentors and the Scór committee.
Fitzgibbon Cup: We had good representation from the club at this year’s Fitzgibbon weekend held in Belfast over the weekend. Congratulations Tommy Kavanagh who was on the panel for the victorious WIT team. Well done to Vinny Stapleton on picking up a Ryan Cup medal with NUI Maynooth. Vinny had been playing full back for NUIM but unfortunately picked up an injury in the semi final and missed the final. Hard luck also to Dan McCormack who represented UCC. They were defeated by CIT in the semi final on Friday.
Thanks to everyone who sorted through their cupboards and wardrobes and donated any unwanted textiles. We collected 385 kilos of clothes. Plus these unwanted clothes have not ended up in a landfill.
The clothes will be reused in Africa, Asia and Eastern Europe.
This collection will be a great boost for our fundraising. CanTeen Ireland will also receive an additional 10% from Bag2TheFuture. In addition it raises awareness of the benefits of recycling and reuse. CanTeen Ireland is a nationwide support group for teenagers affected by Cancer.
