GAA 125th Anniversary Celebrations at St. Patrick’s Boys’ N.S.


As part of the GAA 125th Anniversary celebrations Friday, April 24th 2009 was designated GAA Day in schools throughout the country. The pupils and teachers of St. Patrick’s Boys’ N.S. embraced the spirit of the day by organising a special GAA themed day within the school.


The chance to shed their uniform for the day led to an array of colourful jerseys throughout the school, their colours outdone only by the imaginative designs for futuristic jerseys in Third and Fourth Classes. Thirteen counties were represented on the day, with a large number of Borris-Ileigh and Tipperary jerseys to the fore. Particularly noteworthy was the ‘Rath Muigh’(or Rathmoy!) jersey, designed and produced by past-pupil, Cathal Bourke!

All subjects centred on a GAA theme and the boys were delighted to realise that they had actually done Geography, History Irish, English and Mathematics as
they discussed championship fixtures, studied graphs, completed crosswords and quizzes and played games such as ‘Ce Mise?’ involving their GAA heroes.


The younger boys really enjoyed the hurling skills sessions with their heroes from Fifth and Sixth. All are looking forward to
the hurling season ahead as we prepare for the first round of the Schools’ Championship

This year all teams will be called one of the provinces of Ireland. All players must bring their own jerseys, with colours appropriate to their own team.

Information Sought

Borrisoleigh holds a significant place in the history of my family here in Australia as some of us have been there including Mark and Maree O\’Grady, Patricia Parker, Peter Meredith ( I am Peter’s brother, son of Kathleen a twin to Terese. Some of your residents have visited us here. I am the grandson of Ned and Kitty O’Shea (nee Ryan). Kitty was born on 9/1/1900. I would like to be able to gain access to any information regarding their lives and their departure from Ireland in the early quarter of the 20th Century.
