Borrisoleigh Track Attack Notes
Brilliant Track-Attackers in Dublin
Track-Attack have had some fine days to date in our short history but last Sunday will surely have edged its way to the summit of the list when 20 Track-Attackers made their way to the Emeralds Capital to partake in the annual Dublin Marathon.
17 of the 20 were making their debut outing at the 26.2 mile distance and when you consider that the majority of the crew were competing over 5km and 10km distances a mere 12 months ago, their task and eventual achievements are all the more remarkable.
The day was perfect for running, street were thronged with support and the atmosphere was electric. All 20 had their own personal goals and as they ticked off the miles, they edged closer to achieving their targets. In the end, muscles were aching but the smiles on the faces beamed as the clocks were stopped at some very favourable times.
A huge well done to Mike Gleeson, Pat Minogue, Caroline Hassett, Paddy Ryan, Christy Slattery, Teresa Coffey, Donal Ryan, Laura Bourke, Jacqueline Minogue, Siobhan Carr, Teresa Murray, Noreen Ryan, Louise Higgins, Caroline Murray, Noreen Treacy, Joan Cummins, Carol Treacy, Betty Slattery, Margaret Meehan and Christine Slattery.
A very happy couple Donal and Noreen Ryan having completed the run

Borris-Ileigh GAA Club Notes
Senior:
A huge congratulations to our Senior hurlers who were crowned County Senior Hurling League Division 1 Champions after a comprehensive victory over our great rivals and neighbours Drom Inch last Friday evening. We emerged victorious on a score line of 3-19 to 0-13 securing our second senior title in our final competitive fixture of the year. Some great first half scores from Dan McCormack, Conor Kenny and couple of well struck Brendan Maher frees gave us a comfortable 0-09 to 0-06 lead at half time. Three second half goals from Jerry Kelly, Niall Kenny and Cathal Bourke sealed victory ensuring the Johnny Ryan Cup went back to Borris-Ileigh for 2017.
The Club would like to take this opportunity to thank the players and our management team of Johnny Kelly, Philip Maher, John McGrath, Philip Kenny, our Strength and Conditioning Coach Angelo Walsh and our Physio Declan Maher for all of their tireless work throughout the year in what was a memorable campaign where we reached the final of each competition we played. Winning our first North Senior Hurling Title in a decade along with our Division 1 League Title only losing 2 games all year which speaks volumes of the character among this group of players. There is no doubt that the future is bright for this outstanding hardworking group of players.
