GROUP: BORRISOLEIGH, TOOMEVARA, KILRUANE & BURGESS

Next game:TBA BURGESS V BORRIS-ILEIGH (away), this game is most likely to be played after exams.
Texts will follow confirming date’s venues & times.

 Borris-Ileigh Juvenile GAA Notes 

Borris Ileigh Juvenile GAA
Our U10 1/2 hurlers played Nenagh in the first round of the Community Games Hurling and came away with a well deserved win. We await the draw for round two.

U14 Feile Hurling: Last week end we travelled to Annacarty to play Moyne Templetuohy in the County semi final. From start to finish it was an exciting contest with Moyne coming out winners by the slenderest of margins on a scoreline 3-03 to 2-05. A great effort was put in by all the players only to be denied by a late goal. Congratulations to Moyne Templetuohy who went on to win the title comfortably.

The U14 footballers also exited the U14 Football Championship losing to Newport on Monday evening last.

Well done to Gerry Kelly and Jack Prior who represented the Club on the North U16 team at the week end. Best wishes also to Oran Bergin, Alvis Danko and Raymond McCormack who are currently competing for places on the North Tipp U14 team for the Peadar Cummins Tournament which will be held in Borrisoleigh on Saturday 24th of May.
Well done to Club Members, Kevin Maher, St Patricks Boys N.S, James Devaney, Fantane N.S and John McGrath, Inch National school who all made it through to the second phase of qualifiers for the primary game hurling trials. Congrats to Alvis Danko who made it through to the second round in the football trials also.

 Mayor / Mayoress of Borrisoleigh Contest Launch 



The four candidates are Patrice Cooney, Mossy Ryan, Joe Holland and Carmel Harkin

There was a great turn out on Sunday 4th May to meet the candidates in the Mayor/Mayoress Contest being run by the Borrisoleigh Festival committee. There was live music in the Square in the run up to the main event. To make it interesting it was decided that bonus votes would be awarded to the candidate who impressed the judges most with their arrival and the impression they made on stage. The four judges were Tom Everard, Sally Loughnane, Jim Ryan and Mary Brosnan.

The judges……Tom Everard, Jim Ryan, Sally Loughnane and Mary Brosnan

The first of the candidates to arrive, from their starting point of Chapel St., was Carmel Harkin who made her arrival standing on the back of a pick up to the tune of ‘Kung Fu Fighting’. Next to arrive was Joe Holland, not long off the stage with the Drama Group, and his entourage dressed in high vis jackets, hard hats and carrying shovels with the slogan ‘There’s No Show Like a Joe Show Show’. Mossy Ryan was next in line with his high security presidential cavalcade. Flanked front and rear by two motorcycle security, a jeep with flashing lights and his, no doubt bullet proof, car guarded by black suited secret service types running alongside watching out for ‘trouble’. By stark contrast the last of the candidates Patrice Cooney arrived on a High Nellie bicycle! She had the largest entourage of them all with ‘Team Patrice’ carrying an assortment of colourful placards.

All the candidates then were asked some questions by MC of the day Michael Kinane. This is sure to be one hard fought contest, with each candidate trying to score points and gain an edge on their competition. In the end however Mossy Ryan was the deserving winner of the bonus votes thanks to his dramatic arrival to the launch event. Voting will continue until the Festival which takes place on Oct 3rd, 4th and 5th when the winner will be announced.


Security was tight!
