Senior:
Congratulations to our Seniors who qualified from their Roinn 1 County Championship group last Saturday with a fantastic victory over Upperchurch Drombane in Semple Stadium. They were victorious on a score line of 4-17 to 0-15 after a fantastic performance from our lads. This along with Loughmore Castleiney’s five point victory over Kiladangan in Dolla ensured our passage into the next round. We must now wait for each divisional championship to be played off before the next round fixtures will be decided. Well done to all involved.
Minor:
Our Minor’s recorded a very impressive victory over Ballina in the North Minor ‘B’ championship last week. They came out on top on a score line of 5-21 to 2-11. Well done to all involved.
Upcoming Fixtures:

Both the time and venue have yet to be announced for this fixture. Details of this fixture will be posted on our Facebook page once they have been announced.

Minors commenced the championship this week and played Thurles on Monday last. Up 3 points at half time, and with great pressure from the backs meant that Borris kept their lead throughout. An ever steady Aédin Hogan converted 4 points from frees and 2 from play along with a goal from Aoife Max in the first half and a point from Laura Maher. Final score Borris-Ileigh 1-07 Thurles 1-03. Well done girls.
