Preparing for their big day!


Second Class from St. Theresa’s National School

Second Class primary school pupils from our three primary schools converged on the Parish Church on Tuesday morning last to celebrate their First Confession. This is by way of preparation for their big day of First Holy Communion which will be celebrated on Sunday 14 June. The local clergy report that these young pupils are very well prepared and are a credit to their teachers and families. Twenty-six pupils in all we receive their First holy communion. We wish them the very best for the 14th.

Primary Game


Kieran Maher made his debut in Thurles on Sunday last when he put up a great show for Tipperary in the Primary Game.  Well done Kieran!!

Eyeing the ball!

Kieran Maher – A star in the making!

Kieran writes the following about his big day at Semple Stadium – On Sunday May 31st I went to Dr. Morris Park at a quarter past twelve. I was selected to play in goal for the Tipperary team in the Primary game during the half time interval of the senior match between Cork and Tipperary. I had a few pucks with my team mates when I arrived. The team then got togged off and had something to eat. The team then went to Semple Stadium and we went to our seats. We watched the primary girls play camogie at the interval of the intermediate match.

We then went out onto the pitch to form a guard of honour for the Tipperary and Cork teams. At half time it was our turn to take to the pitch to play against the opposing primary team from Cork. After ten thrilling minutes Cork were the winners with a score line of 0-3 to 0-2. When the senior match was over we went to Hayes’ hotel for dinner. I enjoyed the day and was delighted to have been selected.

Borris Boys represent Tipp in Munster


Team, Staff and Coach

Congratulations to St. Patrick’s Boys’ Mini-Sevens team who represented Tipperary with distinction in the Munster Schools’ Blitz at Lismore on Friday last. Our boys did Borrisoleigh and Tipperary proud as they hurled their hearts out to ensure victories over Cork Champions, Newtownshandrum and Kerry Champions, Ballyduff. Following hard fought contests they were unlucky to lose out to Doon and Lismore who represented Limerick and Waterford respectively. Sincere thanks to all the parents and supporters who travelled on the day. Particular thanks to Michael Ryan, team coach who has so generously given of his time and expertise over the years.

St. Patrick’s had an excellent victory over Burgess NS in the Primary Schools’ Championship to ensure a place against Youghalarra N.S.in the North Final at Mc Donagh Park, Nenagh on Monday next, 8 June, at 1.00 p.m. All support would be very welcome as they bid to bring divisional honours to Borris.

Peadar Cummins Tournament in The Park


The victorious North Team who won the Peadar Cummins Cup 2009 last Saturday in Borrisoleigh including Seamus Bourke (Back Row Fourth from Right) and Matt Stapleton (Front Row Fourth from Left)

 
In magnificent sunshine we hosted this annual tournament in Borrisoleigh last Saturday 30th May. The two semi-finals between the North & the South and the Mid and the West produced some great hurling the results of which meant the West would play the South in the Plate Final which the South won comfortably and the North would play the Mid in the Peadar Cummins Final. This was a great game which was very close for long stages. However, the North proved stronger in the second half and pulled away to win in the closing stages. The Club was well represented on the North team with both Matt Stapleton and Seamus Bourke playing in the semi-final. In the final Seamus Bourke scored two great points to help the North to victory. Congratulations and well done to both lads. Sean Creamer Chairman of the County Bord na nÓg presented the Peadar Cummins Cup to Captain Mark McCarthy of Toomevara. Although too numerous to mention individually, the juvenile club committee would like to thank all those who helped to make the day such a success, including those who prepared the field, manned the scoreboard, umpires, referees, prepared the match program, those who provided and served the refreshments and Templederry GAA Club who hosted the semi-final between the Mid and the West. Well done to all concerned.
