Visiting Our Lady at the Grotto of Lourdes


Some of the group from our parish who travelled on pilgrimage to Lourdes last week


A group of about 20 pilgrims from our parish travelled to Lourdes on the Diocesan Pilgrimage last week (June 16th – 21st). More than 750 pilgrims in total travelled from the various parishes of the Archdiocese including the sick, pilgrims, medical staff, clergy, youth group and adult helpers. The general concensus was that this was a very spiritual and enjoyable few days at the grotto of Our Lady. Already most are planning a return visit for the 40th anniversary of our diocesan pilgrimage to Lourdes. A sincere word of thanks to all who contributed to our local Lourdes fund. Your generosity is much appreciated.

Primary Game County Final


The Borris Boys who played in the County Final at Semple Stadium recently

Wednesday 17th of June was a big day in Borrisoleigh. The boys of St. Patrick’s Boys’ National School headed to Semple Stadium, Thurles, to take part in the County Final of Section C in the Cumann na mBunscol competition. Their opposition on the day was Loughmore N.S. The Borris boys started strong and took the game to Loughmore. Despite playing against a strong breeze in the first half, Borrisoleigh were one point ahead at half-time. In the second half it was nip and tuck all the way. Against the run of play Loughmore scored a goal and this proved to be Borris’ undoing. At the final whistle, Loughmore emerged victorious.

It was a momentous occasion for the boys; using the same dressing-rooms as many of their heroes and getting to play on the pitch in Semple Stadium, An achievement many hurlers only get to dream about. Well done to the boys and all who helped in any way to get them to the County Final. Everyone on the panel gave of their all on the day. They did themselves, their school, their families and their parish proud on the day. We wish them all well and hope to see them all on the pitch in Semple Stadium in the not too distant future. Also, congratulations and good wishes to Jack Hogan and Sean Kenny, who have been chosen to represent St. Patrick’s in the Mini 7’s match to be played at half-time of the All-Ireland Semi Final. Enjoy the day boys agus go n-éirí an t-adh libh.

Cricket in Borrisoleigh!!!

The following snippet of history was received from Pat Bracken of Templemore Library.  "Now that Ireland have finished, what has been a fairly successful showing, at the Twenty-twenty Cricket World Cup in England, an account of a cricket match between Borrisoleigh CC and Fantane CC may interest readers of Borrisoleigh.ie.  The match took place on 7 July 1878 on the grounds of the Fantane club, where the Borrisoleigh team emerged easy winners, by six runs, with an innings to spare, after a match which was watched by a large attendance.  The star of the game was Thomas Murray, for the Borrisoleigh club, with T. Delaney also excelling in batting for the Borris team."
