 Borris-ileigh GAA News

A note from the Chairman: I would like to take this opportunity to offer my thanks and gratitude to all those who made our White Collar Boxing night the massive success that it was. Saturday night was one that will live long in the minds of people from both Borrisoleigh and Drom-Inch and without the hard work and commitment of a lot of people we would not have seen the event happen. I would like to firstly offer my thanks to Donal and Rose Young and all their staff for their marvellous hospitality. I would like to thank Star System for their work on the night recording the night and looking after all things technological. I must give great credit to White Collar Boxing for their continued professionalism and assistance over the last six weeks to ensure the night ran as smoothly as it did. To all our sponsors I offer massive thanks for your never ending generosity. We are so lucky to have people such as you that will put your hands into your pockets for the sake of the club and the community. I would also like to express my appreciation to all those who bought tickets for the event. We hope that you found your €20 was good value for money. I would like to thank the Drom-Inch GAA club for all their hard work in organising the event. I would like to offer special praise to Trevor Hassett, Barnane and Pat Egan, Inch House who were to the fore on the Drom side and could always be found when the work was to be done. I would also like to thank my own committee and especially the finance committee for making this venture such a fantastic success. The volume of work that was put in is hard to put into context and it was work that was never left undone. I would like to especially mention Diarmuid Kinnane and Martin Ryan; great credit must go to them for the success of the night. Finally and without doubt, most importantly I would like to offer the greatest thanks of all to the boxers, all 24 of them, who without them none of this would have happened. To get into the ring and put your body and pride on the line for the sake of your club is a feat that is beyond admiration. Whether you won, lost or drew you won the praise of everyone there for your bravery, commitment and your will to win for your parish and your people. To put into context there was approximately 2000 people at the National Finals a few weeks ago where there were many Olympians on view-there was 1500 people in The Ragg Saturday night! Your feat will be hard to be matched. We hope you enjoyed your experience and that you will always remember it. Again, my unending thanks and gratitude.

Kind Regards
Mark Stapleton, Borris-Ileigh GAA Chairman.

White Collar Boxing: Our boxing night was a marvellous success and as seen above our thanks go to all involved. Photos are emerging from the night and I ask anyone who has ones they feel people would like to see please forward them on to pro.borrisileigh.tipperary@gaa.ie In the end victory fell to Borris on a scoreline of 6-4. Hopefully we can replicate this kind of result when we meet Drom on the field as opposed to the canvas.

The moment Ailbe won the night for Borris

Senior Hurling: As the year rolls on, our fixture list is building up. On last Friday night we defeated J.K. Brackens in a challenge match on a scoreline of 2-20 to 0-14. On Monday night we made the long trip down to Carrick on Suir to take on Carrick Davins in the first round of the Challenge Cup. This match was something of a first as it took place on Waterford soil. The fixture was moved to St. Mollerans GAA grounds on account of the necessity for floodlights. We came away with a win on a scoreline of 0-16 to 1-10. The draw has been made for the second round where we have been drawn to play Moneygall at home on the 17th of March at 12pm. Closer to today, we have been drawn to play Toomevara at home in the Hogan Cup. This match will take place on Friday 8th of March in Borrisoleigh at 8pm. We hope there shall be great home support there on the night against our near neighbours.

Winning Weekend: We had a weekend to remember with big wins for our players on my different levels( and codes). On Saturday, along with our boxing victory, Dan McCormack collected a second Fitzgibbon Cup medal with UCC. In a hard fought victory the Cork students overcame Mary Immaculate on a scoreline of 2-17 to 2-12 with Dan chipping in with a point from centre forward. In the second tier of the college competition-The Ryan Cup, local college LIT Tipperary were victorious over IT Tralee on a scoreline of 1-25 to 2-09. The side is managed by Brendan Maher, who has Toby Kavanagh as a selector along with former curate Fr. Jimmy O Donnell. Well done to the lads and their great work the past few months has been well rewarded. It was a very productive weekend for Brendan Maher as following on from his debut managerial success on Saturday he travelled to Ennis to take part in the Inter-Provincial final between Munster and Connaught. In the absence of the injured Shane McGrath, Brendan was handed the captains armband and duly led a captain’s role as Munster emerged with a win on a scoreline of 1-22 to 0-15. Well done to Brendan on this great honour and hopefully more silverware will follow on throughout the year.
