Borris-Ileigh GAA Club Notes
Senior:
After 10 long years of waiting our famine is over as we were crowned North Senior Hurling Champions for the first time since 2007 after a fantastic victory over Nenagh Eire Og last Saturday evening in MacDonagh Park in Nenagh. It was a great display from our lads from start to finish from 1 to 15. A late Conor Kenny goal in the latter stages of the first half gave us a commanding 1-11 to 0-08 lead at half time. But Nenagh did not go away and came roaring back in the second reducing the deficit down to a single point midway through the second half. But the lads held their nerve ad kept the scoreboard ticking over until a Niall Kenny goal two minutes from time sealed the win as we won out on a scoreline of 2-19 to 0-18, A well deserved victory for a committed hard working bunch of players. Our team captain Paddy Stapleton received the Frank McGrath Cup on behalf on the team while Brendan Maher was awarded the Man of the Match Award for a faultless display at centre half back. A huge congratulations to all involved, to the players and especially our Management team of Philip Maher, Philip Kenny, John McGrath, Angelo Welsh and team trainer Johnny Kelly for all the hard work they have put into this team together over the course of the year.
Junior:
Our Junior’s booked there place in the Semi Final of the North Junior ‘A’ Hurling Championship thanks to 3 point victory over Kilruane McDonaghs in their final game of the group stage last Friday evening. We were victorious on a scoreline of 1-18 to 3-09. We now play Toomevara in the Semi Final. Well done to all involved.
Minor:
Hard luck to our Minor team who were beaten by a single point in their North ‘B’ Hurling Championship Semi Final against Ballinahinch/Templederry after a fantastic game of hurling. The game finished on an amazing scoreline of 6-15 to 4-20, to total of 65 points between the two teams. After finding themselves 5-10 to 2-10 down at the break our lads produced an inspiration second half comeback but it just wasn’t to be on the night. Best of luck to Ballinahinch/Templederry who will play Borrisokane in the final.
U14:
Commiserations to our U14’s who were beaten in the North U14 ‘B’ Final last Saturday in Dolla against Ballina. They lost out on a scoreline of 4-09 to 1-12. A sad end to their year but they can be extremely proud of their achievements this year with such a young team. The future is certainly bright for these young lads.
Upcoming Fixtures:
Our Seniors have been drawn to play Carrick Swans in the next round of the Tipperary Water Tipp Senior Hurling Championship. We were drawn out of a possible 4 teams to play a preliminary Quarter Final. Should we be victorious in this game we will progress to the County Quarter Final where we would play Loughmore Castleiney
Our Juniors will take on Toomevara in the North Junior ‘A’ Hurling Semi Final this Friday evening in Templederry at 7pm. Victory would send us through to the North Final. Best of luck to all involved. All support greatly appreciated.
