Borris-Ileigh GAA Club Notes
Development: Great work has being taking place in the park in recent weeks on our sports complex. As you will have seen the blocklayers have been doing fantastic work and the project is starting to take shape. Of course all of this great work has to be paid for. A large number of people have signed up to our €250 per year (for three years) fundraiser. However we still require more people to sign up so we can complete and pay for the project in the time frame we have set out. We appeal to all those who have promised to pay into it to contact their promoter and make the payment. We will also be calling around to houses in Borris on wednesday night next to drop off leaflets about making payments.
If you are interested in signing up and haven’t heard from someone you can contact Mark Stapleton, Henry Groome, Don Ryan, Bobby Ryan, Martin Ryan, Diarmuid Kinnane, Frank Cooney or Johnny Maher
U21: Our u21 game v Toomevara has been postponed until Sunday week due to an appeal by Newport to the county board. The game will take place in Templederry at 2pm on Sunday 27th.
AGM: In the coming weeks nominations will be sought for officers of the club for the forthcoming AGM. If you are interested in getting involved at some level please contact Gerry Treacy. We will also be looking for people to get involved with underage teams so if you think you would be able to help out please get in contact
Date for the diary: On December 10th we will be hosting a night at the dogs in Thurles Greyhound Stadium. This will be a great night out and fun for all. Details on some of the extra events will be released in the next few weeks
Borrisoleigh Track Attack
Some of the younger members in action
Nathan Guides Celtic to Quarter Finals
Nathan Hogg is the first captain to lead his team to the knockout quarter final stages of the Track-Attack Champions League Series. His Celtic team overcame the challenge of the Atletico Madrid team on Monday night thanks to a string of very impressive performances. Their scorer in chief on the night was Dylan Fahey while he was ably abetted by the scores accumulated by Aoibheann Carr, Carol Treacy, John Slattery and Tom McGrath.
In the other group one game, Will Cooney’s Porto team have all but done enough to earn a place in the quarter finals but will still need another point from their final 2 games to guarantee that progress. On Monday night, they defeated the Borussia Dortmund team with the performance of Jack Galvin in particular catching the eye. They also had a maximum haul of points from Jacqueline Minogue and Mary Rabbitte on the night.
The group one league table is as follows (scores for in brackets):
Celtic 12pts (543)
Porto 9pts (593)

PSG, captained by Ava Marie Rabbitte also hit top form on Monday night and their victory over Ciara Maher’s Leicester team have given them a real chance of knockout qualification.

Arsenal’s victory over Man City have catapulted them into qualification territory. Caoimhe Carey was their trump card on the night with a top class performance. There was also top performances from Naomi Young, Tracy Devaney and Cliona O’Connell.
