Borris-Ileigh Camoige

 

U14’s are county champions after a great victory over Moycarkey on Wednesday last. Borris were up by four points at half time, thanks to the fast pace of Emma Kelly, defence by Emma Galvin and the accurate free taking of Dani Ryan. Moycarkey came back in the second half strong, scoring a point and a goal early to level and put Borris under pressure. Borris again edged ahead following a goal from Rhona Lyons, three consecutive points from Dani Ryan to finish and win this county final by a narrow margin of two points.

Borris-Ileigh 2-08, Moycarkey 2-06. Fantastic win girls, we are all very proud of you.

Craft Class/Community Project

The Craft class in Borrisoleigh will be commencing their community project in the park in the coming weeks. 

This will be a mural that will be painted on a sheet of mdf and secured to a section of the wall dividing the park and the parochial property.

It is hoped that it would be a mural of houses, local attractions and maybe some business premises. If any businesses would be interested in making a contribution/ supporting this project it would be greatly appreciated. Materials such as paint and mdf will need to be purchased. Any businesses that support this community project will have their premises represented on the mural.

This is a project being done by the craft class. Anyone that would like to get involved is more than welcome to join us. It is a great opportunity to continue to enhance the great work that is being done by all in the park. 
Any enquiries please phone 0876166225.
