It will be updated every Wednesday and all items for inclusion should be emailed to info@borrisoleigh.ie by 8pm on Tuesday.

We will produce another Annual for 2012 and are getting organised a bit earlier this year. We are seeking interesting articles that relate to Borrisoleigh. They can be present day or relate to the past. It would be great if some photographs accompanied the articles, but we will accept articles without photos. We would also like to hear from people who have left the area, of their memories about Borrisoleigh, or from people who have moved into the area of their experiences in the locality. We would also welcome suggestions that may help us to improve the Annual. Again we would like to ask all the local clubs, organisations, schools etc. to keep us in mind and we will be in contact with you for an article on your activities from 2012 later in the year.

Importantly we would like to thank all those who submitted articles for the Annual at such short notice last year and all the local businesses who have kindly agreed to sell the annuals for us. Without your help the publication would not have been a success.

We look forward to producing our next annual and hope people both at home and away will enjoy it.
 

Our annual table Quiz takes place on this Friday night in the Marian Hall after Easter ceremonies. Your support would be very much appreciated for this annual fundraiser.

Last weekend Na Piarsaigh, Cork U9 hurling team travelled to play our local team and an enjoyable mornings hurling was had by all. Thanks to everyone who helped out by providing and serving refreshments on the day. Thanks also to Paddy Stapleton who attended and addressed the players afterwards.

The underage football leagues continued last week and despite best efforts all round we were beaten in the U12, 14 and 16 fixtures. A further round of fixtures will take place this week.

It was a beautiful Spring afternoon on Thursday last when St. Cualans set out on their annual trip to St. Joseph’s Monastery, Roscrea. This is an annual event where the group have the opportunity to receive the sacrament of Penance. We then returned to the Templemore Arms where we were served to a very tasty afternoon tea. Everyone was in great form and were quite willing to participate in the sing song. Our good friend P. J. Ryan was celebrating his birthday and was delighted to blow out the candles on his birthday cake. As you can see from our photos it was a very enjoyable day.
