TJ Leads the Way
Teresa Coffey was the outstanding female athlete of the night clocking a hugely impressive 9:15 for the 2000 metres. It was a brilliant display from whistle to tape and if she can continue to show her current levels of improvement, she could well be a dark horse for the first local prize for the Borrisoleigh 5km race which takes place on Wednesday 8th July.
Kathleen O’Meara finished in 9:45 to be the second female on the night while a further 6 seconds behind was Trish Ryan to make up the top 3. In the juvenile ranks, Adam Galvin continues to impress each week and he kickstarted the new series with an impressive finishing time of 9:36. Oisin Stapleton crossed the line in 10:09 while Ben O’Donnell completed the course in 10:32.
There was also many other impressive performances right throughout the field. Martin Fahy (9:31), Mick O’Conner (9:38) and Alan Kelly (9:42) are to name just a few of the men that impressed in round one while for the women, Teresa Murray (10:10), Mary Ryan (10:26) and Mairead Lane (10:36) will all be happy with their completion times.

It just adds a bit of fun to the overall aim of getting people active and attempting to complete a marathon over a period of time. At the end, we will have a multitude of league winners instead of the one previously but this time there will be no stage winners as before.
We always encourage and welcome newcomers and please feel free to join us at any time. If a participant misses a week for whatever reason, you can complete the distance yourself and send on your time by text once it’s completed. To qualify for league points, your time will have to be in by the following night.
Registration begins each night at 7:30pm, a warm up under the watchful eye of Paddy Ryan begins at 7:40pm while the start whistle will sound at 8pm. The registration fee is €2 per night with under 16’s free of charge.

Club Lotto: For anyone interested in playing our club lottery please click on the link below. The lotto is a vital source of income for the club for both the running and development of the club. We appeal to those Borris natives now outside the parish to get involved and sign up. We have given out huge amount of prize money and are to be considered quite a “generous” lottery. In the last year and a half we have given out over €50,000 in prize money! For those interested please click here http://www.borris-ileighgaa.com/index.php/lotto
