Borrisoleigh Track Attack Notes
Tracking Their Way to Dublin
Twenty thousand people will congregate in the Capital City next Sunday morning where they will be hoping to cover the 26.2 miles of the Dublin Marathon while also hoping to achieve all their various personal goals.
Amongst the mass of people will be 20 Track-Attackers which is an amazing achievement in itself when you consider where their starting point in running terms was this time last year. Another striking feature amongst the group is the family connections within.
Amongst the 20 will be 3 sisters who hope to complete the magical distance for the first time. Margaret Meehan will be joined by her sisters Carol and Noreen Treacy. After each of the 3 completed the 30km in our Trip around Tipp in July, they decided to go the extra bit and sign up for the full 42. On the day they will be joined by their first cousin Mike Gleeson.
Jacqueline Minogue will also be attempting the 42km challenge for the first time and she will be joined by her husband Pat and her sister Caroline Murray who are also both making their marathon debuts.
Former International racquetball player Christy Slattery will be toeing the start line for the second time on Sunday but this time he will be joined by his wife Betty and niece Christine.
Donal Ryan will also dip his toes into the marathon ocean for the first time (hope the steward will have plenty of Marshmallows along the way!!) and he will be joined by his wife Noreen.
Laura Bourke, Joan Cummins, Caroline Hassett, Teresa Coffey, Louise Higgins, Siobhan Carr and Teresa Murray will all be making their debut at the distance where they will be joined by Paddy Ryan who deserves great credit for the work he has put in over the past few months in getting the group as a whole ready for the event. Paddy is heading for his third marathon finish.
Two Track-attackers were unlucky to miss out due to injury but hopefully there will be another day for Edel Minogue and Mary Ryan.
Word of Thanks
Fr. Liam Everard

Thanks to all who helped to organise the event, and all the speakers on the night for their gracious and kind words. I will be forever grateful to the people of Borrisoleigh and Ileigh and have lovely memories of my time there. With fond remembrance in prayer.”

Scoil Naomh Cualán U13 North Champions
Last week the U13 boys of Scoil Naomh Cualán claimed the North football title, overcoming Ardcroney NS in a titanic battle.
They won by the minimum after battling through regular time and two halves of extra time. It was an outstanding display from both sides and thankfully the Borris boys came out on top.
We now face Gaelscoil Carrick on Suir in the county semi-final on the 9th of November. Best of luck boys!
Also, on Monday past our U11 boys won their north football blitz which has qualified them for the county final. Well done boys! Our opposition and date are unknown as of yet.
Fr. Everard Appreciation Evening
Fr. G. Hennessy P.P, Fr. Liam Everard P.P and Fr. V. Stapleton C.C
A huge crowd gathered in the Sacred Heart Church, Borrisoleigh last Saturday evening to celebrate and acknowledge the fifteen years of sterling service that Fr. Liam Everard gave to this parish.
Representatives of parish organisations in turn, spoke of their admiration for Fr. Everard and shared stories of how Fr. Liam worked tirelessly on a huge range of issues and projects in our community. As each person spoke, they highlighted the qualities that made Fr. Liam so popular and admired. His easy going nature, his sense of humour, the time he had for both young and old in the parish and most of all the friendship that he showed to all his parishioners.
Fr. Liam himself then spoke very eloquently about his time in Borris. It was clear he loved his time here and misses Borrisoleigh as mush as Borrisoleigh misses him. He ended by thanking everyone for their kindness and generosity towards him and wished Fr. Hennessy the very best of luck in his new ministry in the parish.
The crowd then retired to the Community Centre, a building that Fr. Liam played a leading role in bringing to fruition. A beautiful selection of refreshments were enjoyed by all as they chatted with Fr. Liam. A special moment in the evening was when Frances Kennedy delivered a beautiful poem that she had penned about Fr. Everard.
The evening was a great success and a fitting testament to Fr. Liam’s time in Borrisoleigh and we wish him the very best of luck in his new parish and the next chapter of his life.
Also, a big thank you to everyone who helped to make the night such an enjoyable event.
