 Borris-Ileigh G.A.A. Notes
 
New Development: As many of you have probably seen by now, a new development has begun to take place in the town park. This is quite a large scale development and hopefully will leave the parish with one some of the best, if not the best, facilities in the county. We hope to have this development up and running in the next few years and looking forward to people enjoying these marvellous facilities. 
 
As stated, our plan is to have state of the art facilities for the people of Borrisoleigh. This will consist of the following; the building of a state of the art multi purpose sports complex that will house our sports hall, ball alley, gym, 4 dressing rooms, meeting rooms, external floodlit hurling wall, kitchen and toilet facilities and also a viewing area out on the pitches. We will also complete the floodlighting of the now extended walking track, the building of a third playing pitch, the re-development of the tennis courts and the re-development of the soccer pitch. 
 
As you can imagine this will not come cheap, and we hope that with the support of the parish, we can complete this development within the next few years. We are proposing a fundraising scheme where we can claim back tax on a charitable donation. We are proposing that people give a donation that equates to €4.80 per week for 3 years by standing order which we hope will finish paying for the development. We hope as many people as possible will become involved in this scheme and help us give the people first class sports and recreational facilities in the parish.
 
Club Night: The club will hold a club night in Finns on this Saturday night. All are welcome to join in.

Congratulations Chloe
 Chloe Carroll 200

Well done and congratulations to local girl Chloe on her recent cross country achievements. Chloes participation, determination, and in particular her love of running is something she and her family are so proud of .Chloe has represented herself, her school Scoil Naomh Cualan, Borrisoleigh, Templemore A.C, and her county.

In January 2015, Chloe was part of the Tipperary Under 10 relay team who won Silver medals in the Munsters . In October 2015 , in schools cross country Chloe brought home an individual gold medal and a bronze team medal for Scoil Naomh Cualan, Borrisoleigh. Chloe then went onto take part in the under 11’s County Cross country running her longest distance to date at 1500 metres and came in 8th winning a bronze medal. Next came the cross country under 12 relays where Chloe was on the Templemore A.C. team winning gold medals.

In November Chloe ran in the Munster Cross country, in Beaufort Co. Kerry under horrendous weather conditions ran a great race, coming 69th overall and came in 7th for Tipperary qualifying her to go onto the Nationals in Waterford, which for a beginner was great.

Munster B’s was the next day, Chloe ran a fantastic race in Cappawhite and came 3rd winning an individual bronze medal and also a bronze team medal. On December 6th, Chloe ran in the Nationals in Waterford, coming in 84th overall, and came in 3rd for Tipperary, her best race to date seeing her make a huge improvement from the start of the season. Chloes last run for this cross country season will see her represent Tipperary in the National B’s in January 2016.

Last Monday week saw a reversal of roles as we welcomed to the parish, three guides from Medjugorje who came on a visit. Normally, it is they who would be extending the welcome to us when we travel to the Shrine of the Queen of Peace, in far away Bosnia i Herzegovina. After Mass, the guides spoke about the story of the apparitions, the lives of the visionaries and the messages that Our Lady is giving to us. Afterwards, we adjourned to the community centre for tea and cakes, where our visitors joined with us and gave answers to the many questions people wanted to ask.
