Borrisoleigh Active Social Club
Coffee morning in aid of the Féileacáin
Cllr Eddie Moran with Nora Delaney supporting the Coffee Morning in aid of Féileacáin.ie in the Community Centre Borrisoleigh last weekend
It was a busy weekend last for the Borrisoleigh Active Social Club. It started with a fundraising coffee morning on Friday in aid of the Féileacáin.ie organisation. This is a great organisation that provides support for parents and families who suffer the loss of a baby during or shortly after pregnancy. The amount raised was €1435.
Many thanks to everybody that supported this cause.

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
