Bornacoola GAA Club Notes 27/09/2018
Junior B Championship – The Juniors bowed out of the championship on Saturday last when Aughawillan proved the superior team in the county semi-final in Ballinamore. The early exchanges pointed to a close encounter, but two goals in the ten minute period leading up to half-time gave the Willies a comfortable 2-7 to 0-4 half time lead. The Bors woes were added to as they were reduced to 14 men for the entirety of the 2nd half. However an early Brian Conroy goal in the second period, brought the Bors back into contention and at one stage, the lead had been reduced to just three points. However, the Willies rallied in the closing stages and added a couple of crucial scores to seal a 7 point victory – 2-13 to 1-9. Team was Conor Hackett, Tony Shanley, Conor Mc Cauley, Luke Jones, Gearoid Mulligan, Mervyn Howard, Robert O Beirne, Michael Duignan, Anthony Mulligan (0-2), Noel Mc Enroe, Shane Conroy, Roy Keenan, Jonathan Duffy (0-1), Brian Conroy (1-5) and Liam Jones (0-1). Subs used were Mark Mc Closkey, Ciaran Campbell, Kevin Shanley and John Shanley. Our thanks to manager Brian Mallon and to Aidan Reilly for their work with this team all year.
Senior Championship – We face Dromahair on Sunday morning next at 12noon in Drumshanbo in the Relegation final. With our senior status at stake, we hope there is a good turn out to support the Bors.
Croke Park – Well done to all of our young players, their mentors and supporters who travelled to Croke Park on Sunday last for the Connacht GAA GoGames day. Memories that will last a lifetime were forged – maith sibh go léir.
September Club Draw – The September club draw takes place this Saturday night the 28th of September in the Copper Still – music and the usual prizes on the night
Spin the Wheel – Thanks to everyone who has supported our “Spin the Wheel” fundraiser to date. The second lucky person who will spin the wheel on Sunday the 28th of October will be drawn as part of the September club draw this Saturday in the Copper Still. Please return all sold tickets to your co-ordinator to ensure you have all your tickets in for the draw. The third draw will take place on Saturday the 13th of October so there are lots of opportunity to be one of the lucky winners to spin the wheel.
Lough Rynn Harvest Festival – Well done to all involved with the organisation of yet another spectacular Lough Rynn Harvest Festival in Lough Rynn on Sunday last. Thank you also to all of our members who volunteered for stewarding duties.
