Borris-Ileigh GAA Club Notes
Junior:
Commiserations to our Junior ‘A’ team who were beaten by 3 points by Nenagh Eire Og in Round 3 of the North Championship last Friday evening. After going in 3-14 to 1-07 in arrears at half time they produced an inspirational and gallant second half display reducing the deficit to just one point midway through the second half before eventually losing out on a score line of 3-22 to 4-16. Something which can give them great confidence going forward.
U12:
A huge congratulations to our U12 ‘A’ team who were crowned North Championship last Saturday afternoon in a thrilling encounter in Puckaun. They emerged victorious on a scoreline of 2-06 to 2-04 over Toomevara. A fantastic achievement by the great group of players, something they can cherish for years to come.
Also commiserations to our U12 ‘D’ team who were beaten in their final on a scoreline of 1-02 to 1-01 by Toomevara in the ‘D’ North Final. A hard defeat to take but they lost nothing in defeat and can be immensely proud of themselves and their achievement.
