At this grotto, the locals are in the process of building a small church. It is an outdoor meeting area at the moment, but not suitable for the wet season. They also hope to build a room to house a class for special needs children, as they currently run the class under the tree in the background.

Hopefully everyone has trained hard and is prepared for the day. For safety purposes everyone cycling should wear a cycling helmet and make sure and wear bright clothes or high vis vest. Also be aware of other cyclists around you and other road traffic and never cycle more than two abreast on the road. The 50 mile cycle will leave the square in Borrisoleigh at 1pm with the 25 mile cycle following at 2pm. Registration will take place from 12.15 in the Square for both cycles and if you need a sponsorship card in the meantime contact Ruairi O’Connell or P.J. Delaney. The goal is to raise as much as possible for this very worthy cause so please try your best to get as much sponsorship as you can.

Commiserations to both the U16 and U14 teams who were both knocked out of the championship recently with the U16’s loosing to Ballina and the U14’s loosing to Moneygall. Both panels gave great commitment during the year and should be complimented. Thanks to both sets of mentors who were meticulous in their preparation and left no stone unturned during the campaign.
The North Juvenile Bord have decided to run an U13 Hurling plate competition commencing soon. Further details next week.
A provisional date of 21 September has been set for the U8 Meagher Cup and 28 September has been set as the date for the Mick Prior U10 Tournament.
