Borris Boys win the Mini 7s
We are the champions!
Congratulations and well done lads!
On Thursday April 2nd we went to Dúrlas Óg GAA grounds in Thurles to contest the mini 7’s county final. The teams participating were: St Patrick’s Boy’s NS Borrisoleigh, New Inn N.S, Grangemockler N.S, Gaelscoil Bhríde Thurles N.S and Loughmore N.S. First we played Gaelscoil Bhride and after a closely contested battle we drew the game with a score line of 1-1 to 0-4. Next we played New Inn. It was another tough encounter that we won with the score line of 2-6 to 0-2. Our third match was supposed to be against Grangemockler but both teams agreed not to play the match. The opponents for our fourth match were Loughmore N.S. It was an important match for us as we had to win to proceed to the final against Gaelscoil Bhríde. We won the Loughmore match on a score line of 1-4 to 0-3 points. Onto the final!!! It was a close match to the very end but we came out on top with a score line of 2-5 to 1-5. We were so excited about winning. It was the first time ever our school has won a county final. There were big celebrations in Borrisoleigh afterwards.

A Proud Moment

The Plaque was presented to Seán Kenny, proud captain of the Borris team, by Mr. Jimmy Duggan, principal of Gaelscoil Bhríde, Thurles. Mr. Duggan spoke of the great teams of the past from Borrisoleigh and predicted seeing the panel on a great team of the future. In his speech Seán paid tribute to all of the teams that played with great skill and determination. Many thanks to all the supporters who travelled on the day. A very special thank you to Michael Ryan, team manager, for the great work he does with the boys. The celebrations continued on the next day in school when the whole school joined with the boys in rejoicing about their win. The younger classes were afforded the opportunity to meet the County Champions and aspire to be like them some day.

Fun Run
St. Cualans visit to the Cistercian Monastery Roscrea
Fr. Nivard Kinsella with members of St. Cualan’s Senior Citizen’s Club on their recent visit to the Abbey in Roscrea
It was a beautiful spring afternoon, not a cloud in the sky, when St. Cualan’s Senior Citizens set out on their annual trip to St. Joseph’s Monastery, Roscrea. This is an annual event where they have the opportunity to receive the sacrament of Penance for Easter. Everyone was in good form and as they entered through the monastery’s gates they immediately observed the beautiful and well planted manicured lawns.
Don’t pick the flowers!
Enjoying the sunshine and the daffodils are Margaret Kelly, Kathleen Ryan and Mary Ryan (caught!)
They all received the sacrament of Penance and to bide time until tea, some went on walks and others went to the shop to purchase religous objects for their grandchildren or otherwise. At 4 p.m they were served with a very tasty tea which would "warm the cockles of one’s heart." They were joined by Fr. N.J. Irwin our chairman, Fr.Liam Everard PP and Fr. Michael Barry who as usual captured the events of the day with his photographs.
