Book Launch
Thanks to the large number of local people that turned out on Saturday evening last to hear Ukrainian historians, Kesenyiia Kalashnekova and Ludmila Zubok, present their talk in the Community Centre. Their presentations, especially Ludmila’s on the present day situation in Ukraine, was certainly as upsetting as it was challenging. They wish to convey their deep gratitude to all who stand beside and support them in their time of difficulty.
Your support appreciated on the night

Borris-Ileigh GAA History Book
Hi all,
I’ve been tasked with compiling and writing a history of GAA activity in the primary schools, e.g. North Finals/ County Finals, Primary Game, INTO mini sevens etc.
The more recent history is fairly well documented, however older records are sparse. I don’t want to leave anyone out!
If you are aware of any noteworthy GAA related facts from 1987 to present in relation to Fantane NS, St Theresa’s GNS, St Patrick BNS or Scoil Naomh Cualán please get in contact with me at scoilnaomhcualan@gmail.com. Or you can drop photos, newspaper cuttings etc. into the school and I’ll photocopy or scan what’s needed.
I’m looking for photos of teams, photos of Primary Game representatives, write ups from finals, coaches that were involved over the years, pupils who went on to represent Tipperary in the various codes, GAA quiz winners etc.
Many thanks for your help,
Michael Small
