 Our Visit to Borrisoleigh 

 Daniel Ryan, Dublin, Ohio, USA on a recent visit down memory lane to visit the birthplace of his great grandfather Thomas Ryan, Garrangrena

Daniel writes: "On 10 August 2012 I was finally able to visit Borrisoleigh with my wife, Jane. My great grandfather, Thomas Ryan, emigrated from the area in 1865. The baptismal registry my brother, Kevin, had obtained from Sacred Heart Church indicates that he was from Garrengrena. As a result of a discussion with a couple of fellows in Finn’s , we were able to take a drive out to the area. Absolutely breathtaking and very emotional for me."

 Borris Ileigh Juvenile GAA Club 

U12 Hurling: Last Saturday our U12’s were in action in Group two of the Premier end games in Littleton. Our first game was a semi final fixture against our neighbours Drom & Inch who had earlier defeated Rosegreen in the quarter final. Our side sprung into action from the start with fine points from James Devaney and Raymond Mc Cormack. Drom fought back well and responded with a goal. Some further points from Fintan Holland, James Devaney, Ray Mc Cormack and a pointed 65 from Kevin Maher meant we took a 7pts to 1-2 lead into the dressing room at half time. The second half was a more tense occasion with Joseph Boyle, Oran Bergin and Kevin Maher in defence playing well and soaking up a lot of pressure. A fine save by John McGrath from a Drom & Inch free helped Borris maintain a slight advantage. The final score was Borris Ileigh 10pts to Drom Inch 1 –04.

Some happy faces after the match!!!

Clerihan emerged from the other side of the draw as our final opponents. With Clerihan having beaten Borris earlier in the year in the football quarter finals this gave us an added incentive going into the final. Once again the Borris boys seized the initiative and an early goal from a long ball by from Ray Mc Cormack put us into the driving seat. Another goal and some further excellent points from James Devaney gave us a 2-04 to 2 point lead at half time. Some great defensive work in the second half from Oran Bergin, Dan Ryan and Seamus Ryan kept Clerihan scores to a minimum. Alvis Danko in midfield worked hard alongside Ray McCormack. In the forward division Dirk Leimhlehner, James Kelly and Michéal Ryan worked tirelessely to provide great assistance to scoregetters in chief Fintan Holland and James Devaney. The final score was Borris Ileigh 3-04 to Clerihan 1-02. The County Chairman Joe Kennedy presented the shield to Captain Ray Mc Cormack. Also a mention for the ever reliable Aaron Rabbitte who made a significant contribution to this team throughout the year who was absent on the day. The achievements of both U12 teams were recognoised later that evening when both U12 panels were treated to a barbeque and a presentation in the Parish Community Centre. Well done to Manager Michael Delaney, Paddy Ryan, Michael Galvin, John Hogan and Damien Dunne who were involved with the U12’s team during the year. Thanks also to the committee members and followers who worked hard on the day, to prepare, cook and serve the well earned refreshments afterwards.
