Bornacoola GAA Club Notes 03/07/2018

Ladies League Final – Congratulations to the Bornacoola/St Mary’s Ladies who captured the Division 3 League title after a titanic battle with Dromahair in Páirc Seán Mac Diarmada on Sunday afternoon last. The girls prevailed by a point on a 2-9 to 3-5 scoreline. This is the girls’ second title since they formed last year, having won the Junior Championship last season. It was a great final that had all that you could wish for from top-class goalkeeping from Caroline Guckian, excellent defending and some great football played on the break going forward, and of course, the result was in doubt until the referee’s final whistle. While our girls got out of the blocks early with a Sarah Reynolds goal, it was the Dromahair ladies who grabbed a hold of the contest and by the end of the first quarter held a four-point advantage. However after a storming second quarter with some fine points from Aisling Leahy, Kelly Howard and Sarah Reynolds they entered the halftime interval on level terms, Bornacoola/St Mary’s 1-5 Dromahair 2-2. The second half was end-to-end stuff and there appeared to be nothing to separate two evenly matched teams. After Hannah Reynolds goaled to open a four-point advantage with ten to play, it appeared that perhaps our girls were making a winning break. However, Dromahair fought back to level and in the dying moments, Kelly Howard popped over the winner. It was a memorable victory for the girls and well deserved for their efforts all spring. Well done ladies. On duty on Sunday were: Caroline Guckian, Cora McCauley, Kathy Butler, Joanne McGushin, Enya Guckian, Lorraine Guckian, Emily Reynolds, Alison McKeon, Kasey Bruen, Sara Crowe, Aisling Leahy (0-5), Hannah Reynolds (1-0), Sarah Reynolds (1-1), Kelly Howard (0-3), Lisa Guckian, Rachel McGarry, Lauren Hackett, Hannah Bird and Ellen Woods.

Fenagh St Caillin’s GAA Club Notes 03/07/2018

Longford Leitrim League – Congratulations to Fenagh St Caillins u12 team who were victorious over Carrick Sarsfields from Longford in the Diarmuid McKiernan/Paddy Collum Cup final played in Pairc Sean MacDiarmada on Thursday evening last. A game played in scorching conditions, it kept the supporters on the edge of their seats right to the end with the Fenagh lads never giving up and they were rewarded for their efforts with a goal close to the full time whistle which proved the winner. Final score Fenagh St Caillins 3.14, Carrick Sarsfields 3.12. Captain Adam Reynolds was presented with the Cup by Leitrim Bord na nOg Chairman Gerry Gallogly.

Feile Peil na nOg 2018 – on Friday afternoon Fenagh St Caillins u14 team departed by bus headed for Belfast to be the 5th team to represent the club and the county at Feile Peil na nOg. It was a trip into the unknown for the team and mentors but soon after their arrival to the fantastic Bredagh Gaa facilities in the heart of Belfast they got into their stride and despite having to compete at 15 a side with only 16 players they had fantastic wins over the host club and then the Scotland team. After this, they travelled to the home of their host team for the weekend, St Colman’s Gac, Drumaness, Co Down. From their arrival until they departed Drumaness at midday Sunday every player, the mentors and the travelling entourage of parents, family, and friends were treated beyond any expectations by the most generous of hosts. Food, drinks and even transport for late night revellers was laid on by the host club throughout the weekend. Back to matters on the field and on Saturday morning the Fenagh boys had to play their hosts St Colman’s to decide who would compete in the cup or shield quarter-final later in the day. Once again the Fenagh lads played some magnificent football and won to ensure qualification for the cup quarter-final as group winners. Granard/Ballymore from Longford were the quarter final opponents but this encounter proved too much for the lads who again gave it their all but lost out to a very talented Granard/Ballymore team who would go on to win out the division in Sunday’s final. Later on Saturday evening, the team took part in the Feile parade through the streets of the picturesque town of Newcastle, Co Down. All the lads represented the club impeccably during the trip and made new friends and had an experience that they will hopefully remember for a lifetime. Sincerest thanks to the members of St Colman’s Drumaness GAA Club for their work in making the weekend a memorable one for everyone who travelled.
Leitrim teams – there were mixed fortunes for the Leitrim teams at the weekend with the minors enjoying victory over Sligo in the Connacht minor championship however the senior team bowed out of the All Ireland campaign after defeat to Monaghan.

Hard luck to our County Senior Team who departed the 2018 All-Ireland Football Championship after reaching the last 16 for the first time since the qualifiers were introduced.  It was a great occasion in Carrick on Shannon and in particular Páirc Seán Mac Diarmada as we gave a big welcome to Division 1 side Monaghan and their supporters.

We leave the Championship very proud of this young team and3 look forward with optimism to next season.

PAT MURTAGH R.I.P – On Saturday evening we said farewell to a great clubman, our Club President Pat Murtagh. Pat was a legendary figure in our club all his life. He loved St. Mary’s GAA club and his legacy lives on through his family. Pat played a major role in all aspects of the development of St. Mary’s GAA, from a player to Chairman, to bringing players to and from training and games and was to the fore when we purchased our first grounds Páirc Ui Chearnaigh. Pat was often seen over the years keeping this pitch in order and nothing made him happier than to see youngsters on this field every evening.
Pat also threw himself into the development of underage football in the early seventies and many great St. Mary’s players learned their skills under the tutelage and patience of Pat who spent many hours coaching them.  He was extremely proud of all his family but took great pride in the fact that his Grandson Conor plays on our Senior team and his great-granddaughter Nicole is a prominent member on our U12 girls team.
Pat did not restrict himself to St. Mary’s and together with the late George O’Toole was involved in the development of Páirc Seán MacDiarmada into the fine stadium we have today. Pat always gave of his time freely and was a proud and loyal GAA man and it was only fitting that so many from the club turned out for the Guard of Honour to show their respect on Saturday evening.
Pre-deceased by his wife Tess and grandson Shane. Pat will be sadly missed by all who knew him. The club extends its deepest sympathies to his sons Sean and Jim, daughters Mary Glancy, Teresa Branagan (Castleknock Dublin), Carmel Kelly (Strokestown) and Ann Warnock, sons-in-law, daughters-in-law, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, sister, sister-in-law, his extended family, neighbours and many friends.
