All advertising and upcoming events will be included in this section, with a link each week from the Current News page. It will be updated every Wednesday and all items for inclusion should be emailed to info@borrisoleigh.ie by 8pm on Tuesday. We will continue to include advertising for charitable/non-profit making events in the Current News page.

They play Silvermines next Friday night in the final group game. Our U12 Group three team put up a great performance last Friday night against Templederry but lost out narrowly.

Sympathy
The club extends its sympathies to the family and relatives of Joe Ryan and Tom Costelloe who passed away recently.

Our under 14’s had their second championship game of the season on Friday the 20th April at home against Boherlahan. They had a poor result however the girls should be proud of their team effort with everyone playing to the best of their ability. They fought hard throughout the game never lost spirit and didn’t give away frees, they were up against an older, stronger and more experienced team. In spite of this they managed to keep them almost scoreless in the second half. They had their third match of the championship against Ballingarry again the results didn’t reflect the effort and team spirit that they displayed. They put on a good performance and gave away no frees. The under 14’s will have their fourth match of the championship on Tuesday 1st May at 7pm at home against Moycarkey. Best of luck girls.
