Tom Delaney produced his performance of the Track-Attack Safari Team Trek which is sponsored by Camsaw Distributers Ltd (main suppliers of OleoMac and Weibang lawnmowers) to date when he clocked a superb 18:56 for the 4km course and in doing so the talented youngster drove his thriving team into a commanding lead at the head of the table.

Clonakenny’s Michael Murray tore up the record books when he stopped the clock at 22:44 for the 6km while his Lions team-mate Karen Nash from Templederry knocked a hugely impressive 45 seconds from her previous best.
Tigers captain Tracy Devaney continues to shine each week and round 6 saw her shave a further 62 seconds from her PB. Her Tigers comrades Betty Long and Patrick Groome were as equally impressive with Betty recording a PB by 1:12 and Patrick 34 seconds. For the Cheetahs, Kate Minogue and Kim Tynan were their best performers on the night with both recording maximum scores for their team.

The performance however of Will Cooney saw him in the running for the athlete of the week when he brilliantly knocked 43 seconds from his best to date as he stopped the clock at 19:29 for the 4km. A superb performance from a brilliant young talent. 

Borrisoleigh Active Social Club

At our February meeting we had a visit from Sgt Tom O Dwyer Crime Prevention Officer Thurles. He gave us a very informative talk on how to protect ourselves and our property. We would like to thank Sgt O Dwyer for giving up his time to call out to us .

Our March meeting takes place next Wed March 2 @ 8.30pm in the Community Centre. We are trying to arrange for someone to come and give a talk on another topic which has to be finalised. Any outstanding membership (€10) needs to be paid immediately to cover insurance costs.
New members are always welcome and if you know someone from a surrounding parish they too would be welcome.


Borrisoleigh Community Sports Complex Committee

Over the past number of weeks members of our recently formed committee for the Borrisoleigh Community Sports Complex have been calling to houses in the parish handing out brochures on the new development in the town park. These people are from the various committees that use the town park namely the Town Park Committee, GAA Committee and The Sports Complex Committee. Part of this includes the tax rebate fundraiser which we intend to finance the fabulous new development that is currently being built. As a committee we would like to sincerely like to thank all those who have contributed thus far to this great project. Your money will help us give a facility to the parish of Borrisoleigh that will be the envy of towns not only in Tipperary but across Ireland. While we are aware that it is costly we feel that it is an extremely worthwhile project that will serve generations and will be of benefit to both young and old and we thank you sincerely.

GAA 600Part of the track to be upgraded

We have currently being discussing ways of giving recognition to those who are contributing to the scheme and people can rest assured that when the project is completed there will be some return to people to thank them for their efforts. It will be released in the future as to what this will be.

For anyone who has yet to sign up or for those who have been missed being called to we would be most grateful if you made contact with any committee member who can take you through the registration process and what the fundraiser entails. We are very close to hitting the required number that would enable us to have the project finished and paid for in a 3 year period. If this could be achieved it would be an extraordinary act of community fundraising for something that is going to be such a huge benefit to all in our community. You can contact any of the following: Mark Stapleton, Henry Groome, Martin Ryan, Bobby Ryan, Don Ryan, Paddy Ryan, Frank Cooney.

GAA 1 600Minister Alan Kelly turns the sod on the project

Over the course of 2016 we hope to make more progress on the building and on the running track. It is hoped, with the necessary finance, we will have the sports complex will be “water tight” which will include walls being built, roof put on and windows put in. We also hope to upgrade the original part of the running track to have it wide enough for three people to run on it. It is only with your help we can make this so
