Borris-Ileigh Juv GAA Club
U14 Hurling County Champions: Borris-Ileigh became U14B County Champions last Saturday with a magnificent display to record a win over Gortnahoe Glengoole in the final at the Ragg on a score line of 4-13 to 0-4. An early goal provided the good start we had hoped for and we never looked back after that and with solid displays once again throughout the team we led by 2-9 to 0-2 at halftime. Two quick points from Gortnahoe at the start of the second half focussed the minds once again and the lads settled down to close out the game. Well done to Gortnahoe who never gave up trying and played some lovely hurling throughout. The final whistle was greeted with great celebrations from players and the large crowd of Borris-Ileigh supporters present. Neil Ryan secretary of the County Bord na nOg presented the Cup to Captain Sam Devaney on behalf of the Borris-Ileigh Panel. Well done to all the players on the panel who deserve great credit for the effort and dedication they have put in throughout the year. Well done also to Brendan, Michael and Ruairi who have worked very hard with these players over a number of years and last Saturday’s win was just reward.

Borrisoleigh Pilgrimage to Medugorje
The Church of St. James in Medjugorje with the open-air sanctuary which is used to accommodate large crowds for Mass and Eucharistic Adoration.
On Friday 13th August, a group from Borrisoleigh led by John Connors, amongst who included Fr. Liam Everard, went on a pilgrimage to Medugorje, where since 1981 an estimated 45 million people have gone to meet the six visionaries who see the blessed Virgin Mary, & receive regular messages from her.
The pilgrimage lasted one week, during which the group had the opportunity of hearing four of the six visionaries talk about their visions of Our Lady & the messages she gives to them. One of the days also the group had the privilege of participating in a mass which was celebrated by Fr. Everard.

Borrisoleigh Charity Cycle 2010
Just a quick reminder that the Borrisoleigh Charity Cycle in aid of the North Tipperary Hospice In Home Care Movement takes place this Saturday 25th September. We are holding both a 25 Mile and a 50 mile event this year. The 50 mile starts at 1.15pm from Borrisoleigh and will go through Thurles, Two-mile Borris, Urlingford, Johnstown, Rathdowney, Templemore and back to Borrisoleigh. The 25 mile will begin in Borrisoleigh at 2.15pm and take in Thurles and Templemore. Our aim is to get both sets of riders to meet up before we return to Borrisoleigh so the 50 mile event will be kept at a steady pace. Please ensure that all safety and reflective gear is worn and obey the instructions of the Gardai and marshalls at all times. Cards and money may be returned to P.J. Delaney or Ruairi O’Connell before Saturday or on the day. Best of luck to everyone and safe cycling.
