 Peadar Cummins Inter Divisional U14 Hurling Tournament 2010 


The North Division Panel Peadar Cummins Cup Winners 2010 including Borris-Ileigh players Shane Kenny and Kieran Maher

In mixed weather conditions Borris-Ileigh hosted this annual tournament in Borrisoleigh last Saturday 29th May. The two semi-finals between the North & the West and the Mid and the South produced some lively hurling, the results of which meant the West would play the South in the Plate Final which the South won following a closely fought final. The North then played the Mid in the Peadar Cummins Final. This was a great game which was very close for long stages. However, the North proved stronger and at the death scored two late goals to take the title. The Club was well represented on the North Panel by Kieran Maher and Shane Kenny, with Kieran contributing 1-2 in the semi-final. Congratulations and well done to both lads. Sean Creamer Chairman of the County Bord na nÓg presented the Peadar Cummins Cup to North Captain Andrew Coffey of Nenagh Eire Og while Juvenile Club Chairman Michael Carey presented the Shield to James Morgan Ballylooby captain of the South team. Although too numerous to mention individually, the juvenile club committee would like to thank all those who helped to make the day such a success, including those who prepared the field, manned the scoreboard, umpires, referees, prepared the match program, those who provided and served the refreshments and Templederry GAA Club who hosted the semi-final between the North and the West. Well done to all concerned.

 Transition Year Presentation Evening at St. Joseph’s College, Borrisoleigh  


Transition Year students receiving their certificates


“Tonight was a showcase” – words of a parent who aptly described the recent TY presentation night at St. Joseph’s College, Borrisoleigh. On Monday 24th May the TY students displayed the vast amount of work undertaken during the year and received their certificates of achievement.

Principal, Catheriona Ryan applauded Manager Pádraig O’ Shea for having the vision to offer a TY programme in the school. Miss Ryan was lavish in her praise of the school’s Deputy Principal Alice Regan for her energy, enthusiasm and excellence in the onerous task of co-ordinating the first ever TY program at St. Joseph’s. “Ninety per cent of all activities were arranged by Miss Regan”, said Miss Ryan.

Miss Regan thanked Mr. O’ Shea for his generosity to the TY students; Miss Ryan for her support throughout the year; Miss Cahill for the worked involved in Work Experience; Mr Mulcahy for organising assessments; Seán O Shea and Donal O’ Driscoll for organising the Hall. Both Ms Ryan and Ms Regan thanked the staff for embracing the concept of the TY program so well and remarked on the excellent work that was done in the classroom throughout the year. Principal and Deputy Principal were also eloquent in their praise of the TY students who were an amazing group to work with for the year. The program opened up new horizons and the students availed of the opportunities presented to them.

Before presenting the Department of Education certificates to the students, Maire Hoctor TD spoke about her own experiences as a TY student and also the merits of the TY program. John Hogan, Chairman of the North Tipp Sports Partnership, highlighted the value of sport for young people. One of the TY students Declan O’ Toole gave an insight into Boxercise, Yoga, Hip Hop dancing and Circuits. Alice Regan thanked Sharon McLoughney NTSP for her huge contribution to the TY programme. John then presented the certs to the students for the “Fit Schools Programme”.
