We would like to wish our Committee member Michael Barry every good wish on his departure from Borrisoleigh. Michael was one of the founder members of the Website Committee back in 2007 and worked tirelessly to ensure the project became a reality. He has been actively involved in the running of the site ever since and will be sorely missed. Many thanks from the Borrisoleigh Development Association and especially his fellow Website Committee members.

Underage: Our under 14’s had their third round of the league away against Clonoulty on Tuesday the 17th September. Unfortunately things didn’t go well for them and they recorded a loss. The under 12’s had a challenge against Holycross on Saturday evening in the park. They played well. The under 8’s had a challenge match against Holycross on Thursday evening they also played well and enjoyed the game.

Intermediate Team: Semi-Final against Templemore got off to a flying start on a beautiful Sunday afternoon in the camogie grounds the Ragg in front of a large home support. Playing against the wind in the first half they rocketed ahead with the score at half time being 3-8 to 0-4. With the wind in the second half they ploughed on putting another 3 goals and four points on the score board before Templemore registered their first score in the second half. The score at full time was Borris-Ileigh 7-15 Templemore 1-5. Borris-Ileigh: Carmel O’Brien, Michelle Ryan, Shauna Rabbitte, Niamh McGrath, Marie Ryan, Julie Kelly (Capt), Nora O’Brien, Chrissy Kenny, Teresa Ryan, Moira Dooley(6-1), Deirdre Corcoran(0-3), Nicole Walsh(0-8), Niamh O’Donoghue(0-3), Mary Bradshaw(1-0), Noirín Stapleton. SUBS: Grace O’Mahony for Michelle Ryan, Jane McCormack for Noirín Stapleton, Aoife Delargy for Nora O’Brien, Aisling Kiely for Moira Dooley, Clóda Scanlon for Mary Bradshaw. The second semi-final between Eire Og Annacarthy and Shannon Rovers went to extra time but Annacarthy won out in the end. So the final is now Borris-Ileigh V Eire Og Annacarthy on Sunday the 6th October at 2 p.m. in the Camogie Grounds The Ragg.

It is that time of the year again and this year the Borrisoleigh Community Development Association plan to produce another annual. We would be very grateful if the clubs/organisations/schools of the community could once again forward us an article and pictures of the activity of your clubs/organisations/schools during the year of 2013. We are also seeking interesting articles that relate to Borrisoleigh. They can be present day or relate to the past. It would be great if some photos accompanied the articles but we will accept articles without photos. Plus we would like to get articles from people who have left the area, of their memories about Borrisoleigh, or from people who have moved into the area of their experiences in the locality. We would also welcome suggestions that may help us to improve the annual.

We aim to launch the annual on the Fair of Borris weekend. To enable us to do this we will need all articles and photos by Friday the 25th October 2013. Can all articles be sent in word if possible with photos as separate attachments to this email address borrisoleighannual@gmail.com. Once again your assistance in the production of the 2013 annual will be appreciated.

U8 Hurling: Pride of place this week goes to our U8 hurlers who played in the Meagher Cup at the week end. After defeating Upperchurch in the first game they went on to play Drom Inch in the final. The final turned out to be a great game with Borris Ileigh building up a lead early in the second half. Drom Inch responded well to level the game with a couple of late goals. The game then went to extra time which also failed to separate the teams. As neither team deserved to loose it was decided both teams would share the trophy for six months each. In the second game Upperchurch defeated Templederry and were presented with the O’Dwyer Cup. Thanks to Rose Stapleton who presented the trophies and to Sean McCormack who presented the medals. Thanks also to the referees, mentors, Club Officials, Parents and anyone who helped out in any way on the morning.

U10 Hurling: The Annual Mick Prior tournament takes place next week end with Borris Ileigh, Drom Inch, Moneygall and Moycarkey Borris taking part.

U13 Hurling: We played our U13 Plate final against Shannon Rover \ Gaels last Friday evening in Kilcolman and were defeated 2-04 to 1-05. The concession of two first half goals made the task more difficult. However credit to the team who put in a tremendous amount of work in the second half against the wind to loose out narrowly. Thanks also to the mentors, parents and supporters who travelled with, encouraged and supported this team all year.
