All Roads lead to the Shannon Key Hotel in Rooskey on Saturday night next as the eagerly awaited “B” Factor takes place in the hotel. This is the club’s main fundraiser for the year and tickets are currently on sale from members of the club for €15 each.

Who’ll be the men and women behind these acts?

The Bornacoola team and scorers was: Oliver Vaughan, Damien Mc Guinness, Conor Mc Cauley, Damian Mc Gowan, Niall O Connor, Paul Hackett, David O Connor (0-4), Jason Conroy, Mervyn Howard, Sean Mc Keon (0-2), David Mulligan, Declan Shanley (1-2), Feargal Howard (0-3). Sub: Padraig Duffy.

Tom Mc Gushin R.I.P
All at the club would like to extend their sympathies to the Mc Gushin family on the untimely passing of Tom Mc Gushin (Luton). Ar Dheis Dé go raibh a anam.
Senior League
The Senior team played their last game of the year against Carrigallen in Dromod on Sunday afternoon last. A point behind at half time, the Bors battled hard throughout the second half, but two goals at opportune moments ensured victory for the visitors on a 3-9 to 0-13 scoreline.
The Bornacoola team and scorers was: Feargal Mc Gill, Damian Mc Guinness, Conor Mc Cauley, Seamus Mallon, Niall Mc Gowan, John Mc Guinness, Niall O Connor, Gary Mc Closkey, Colm Farrell, Trevor Howard (0-2), Morgan Shanley, Mark Mc Closkey (0-7), Sean Mc Keon, Michael Duignan (0-3) and Philip Howard. Sub used: David O Connor (0-1) and Declan Shanley.
The players would like to extend their thanks to a number of people who were involved with us in the background throughout the year including Fionnula Howard, Michael Shanley, Michael Farrell, Tommy Larkin and Tom Duignan. Your assistance in various ways was very much appreciated. We’d also like to extend our thanks to manager Paddy Maguire, who has left Bornacoola after three exciting years and of course to Shane Reynolds and Noel Mc Closkey whose commitment to the team was exceptional throughout that period. Go raibh míle maith agaibh go léir.
Finally, a word of praise for the County Board and in particular the Competitions Control Committee for the manner in which the leagues and championship were run off this year. The season began for the Bornacoola senior team on April 21st and between league, shield and championship competitions, we played 19 competitive games in what was effectively a 26 week playing season. The regularity with which games were provided, not to mention the increase in games from previous years, is something to be welcomed by everyone who has the best interests of the club game and club players at heart and will play a significant role in the transformation from a “training” based to a games based culture.
Well done to the County Board and hopefully this successful template will be adopted as a benchmark for future years.
Ladies Championship
The Ladies played St Mary’s in the championship on Sunday morning last in Fenagh. The first half was extremely close, but Carrick made better use of their chances and went in at the break 0-6 to 0-3 ahead. An injury to Kelly Howard severely curtailed Bornacoola’s chances but notwithstanding this it took two excellent saves from the St Mary’s keeper to keep the Bornacoola forward line at bay early in the second half when a goal might well have changed the course of the game. As it was, St Mary’s scored the vital goal with about ten minutes left to play and a committed performance for Bornacoola wasn’t enough for progression.
The Bornacoola team was: Michelle Reilly, Susan Shanley, Orla Bohan, Niamh Reynolds, Lisa Mc Gowan, Sarah Duffy, Jillian Duignan, Louise Farrell, Leonie Duffy, Kelly Howard, Fiona Reilly, Cora Mc Cauley and Emma Moffatt. Sub used Meave Duffy.
The Ladies would like to thank their trainer Jonathan Duffy for his excellent work throughout the year and also Adrian Donlon of the The Vibe in Dromod who sponsored a new set of jersies, togs and socks for the championship and Charlie Duignan, Irish Contract Seating, who is sponsoring hooded tops for the ladies.
Happy Birthday
Our best wishes to Damian Mc Guinness (Cloncarne) who is celebrating his 21st next weekend. The party is in the Copper Still on Sunday night and there is an open invitation to everyone in the club to attend

While Damien should be back in action relatively quickly, Daniel’s injury is quite serious and he will probably be out of the game for the next year. It is a tough blow to a man who would have been a serious contender for Club Player of the Year and all your team mates, club officials and Bornacoola supporters send their best wishes for a quick recovery.

The Bornacoola team on Sunday was: Bobby Shanley, Damien Mc Guinness, Morgan Shanley, Jason Conroy, Conor Mc Cauley, John Mc Guinness, Daniel Canning, Gary Mc Closkey, Michael Duignan, Philip Howard, Colm Farrell, Trevor Howard, Declan Shanley, David O Connor and Mark Mc Closkey. Subs used were Niall O Connor, Robert Moran and Seamus Mallon
Junior C Championship
An excellent performance from the Junior C team saw them record their first championship victory over Gortletteragh on Sunday morning in Annaduff. A first half goal from Gerry Gearty set us on our way and Kevin Mallon netted in either half to secure a 3-10 to 1-12 victory in a very entertaining game.
The team and scorers was: Pat Farrell, Sean Ryan, Shane Reynolds, Paul Derwin, Jackie Conboy, Brendan Duignan, John Shanley, Peter Mallon, David Faughnan, Kevin Mallon (2-1), Gerry Gearty (1-3), David Mulligan (0-3), Seoirse Reynolds (0-1), Declan Conboy (0-2) and Mervyn Howard.

Senior Championship
The Senior team face into their third county semi-final in as many years when they travel to Pairc Sean on Sunday evening for a 6.30pm throw-in against 2005 County Champions Kiltubrid. The best of luck to all concerned and we hope there will be a large and colourful Bornacoola contingent present to cheer on the lads.
Junior C Championship
The Junior C team got their championship campaign underway when playing St Osnatts on Saturday last at the new Leitrim Gaels grounds in Leitrim village. Osnatts began with the wind and led by 1-4 to 0-1 at the break with Bornacoola’s lone score of the 1st half coming from the boot of John Shanley. In the second period, an early penalty goal put Bornacoola nine points behind and it seemed that the game had gone away from the Bors, but a great revival throughout the second half saw us come up just short as the North Leitrim team held on for a 2-6 to 1-7 victory as the Bors wasted a number of chances that might have won the game. There were tremendous performances from the likes of Sean Ryan, Paul Derwin, David Faughnan, David Mulligan and Kevin Mallon in the second half.
The Bornacoola team and scorers was: Pat Farrell, Paul Derwin, Shane Reynolds, Sean Ryan, Jackie Conboy, Brendan Duignan, Michael Farrell, Peter Mallon, Kevin Mallon (0-1), John Shanley (0-1), Declan Conboy, David Mulligan (0-1), Gerry Gearty (1-0), Feargal Mc Gill (0-3), Seoirse Reynolds.

Senior Championship
We reached our third county semi-final in a row with a narrow victory over Sean O Heslins in Cloone on Saturday evening last. Played in terrible weather conditions, the game was close throughout but early in the second half Bornacoola had established a four point lead. The Ballinamore team came storming back into the game and it took some frantic defending to see us over the line. We now face Kiltubrid in the semi-final in what is a repeat of the 2005 county final.

Wedding Bells
All at the club send their best wishes to former Bornacoola player Kevin Reynolds and new wife Catherine (nee Wynne) who were married on Friday last.
Engagements
Esker was the place to be last week as Bornacoola stalwarts Pat Farrell and Niamh Reynolds both announced their engagements. Former Leitrim, UCD, St Mels and Bornacoola star Pat will be getting married to Linda St Leger. Linda hails from Dublin, and no doubt Hubie will have lined up an intensive agricultural training course to ensure she adopts to Leitrim life as smoothly as possible (I’d say Pat could do with a refresher course at this stage too!).
Meanwhile, neighbour Niamh will marry Enda Delaney from Laois who will be well known to all in Bornacoola as he has been living in Dromod for some time now (always carry a spare key with you Enda!). We wish both couples the very best of luck in their lives together.

Leitrim v Donegal
The Leitrim team came up just short once again in Pairc Sean on Saturday evening. However, it was an incredible game and one of the best performances given by a Leitrim team for many years. The players have put in an unbelievable amount of effort since before last Christmas and have given much enjoyment to Leitrim supporters in the past few months. We thank them for their sacrifices and for the terrific memories from 2007 including the great win in the Hyde, the excitement of the Monaghan game in Cloone, the trip to London and the immense displays against Donegal and Galway. A special word for the five Bornacoola players who played their part over the course of the year – Gary Mc Closkey, Michael Duignan, David O Connor, Philip Howard and Colm Farrell who did the club proud.

Our thanks to Noel Mc Closkey who oversaw the development work and to his team of workers that included Aiden Hackett, Sean Mc Gowan, Michael Duignan, Shane Conroy, Mark Mc Closkey and Morgan Shanley for their voluntary efforts in ensuring the work was completed in time for Féile. Lisa Mc Gowan and Cora Mc Cauley were also busy with the paint brushes and we extend our thanks to the two girls as well.

A great day too for former Bornacoola star Frankie Bohan who was in the Hyde to be introduced to the crowd at the Connacht final as part of the 1977 Leitrim U21 team that won the Connacht championship. The team were later honoured at a Banquet in the Abbey Hotel. Congratulations to Frankie and his team mates – indeed Frank looked as fit as ever out on the pitch and one suspects he could still fill a jersey for the Juniors if called on!

Shield A
A late surge in our Shield A game against Glenfarne wasn’t enough to secure the points, as the concession of three first half goals ultimately denied Bornacoola their second win in the group as the visitors triumphed on a scoreline of 3-4 to 1-8. An excellent Senior debut from Declan Shanley saw him score 1-2 and the Shield has proved very useful in this regard as the likes of Christy Bohan, Ollie Vaughan and Damian Mc Gowan have also been able to cut their teeth at senior level over the past few weeks.
The team on Saturday was: Ollie Vaughan, Brian Mallon, Jason Conroy, Damien Mc Guinness, John Reynolds, Daniel Canning, John Mc Guinness, Morgan Shanley, Bobby Shanley, Trevor Howard, John Bohan, Brian Conroy, Mark Mc Closkey (0-5) and Feargal Mc Gill (0-1). Sub used: Declan Shanley (1-2)

Defibrillator Certificates
There will be a presentation of defibrillator certificates to those who completed the first aid course recently on Friday night in the Copper Stil. Music on the night by Tom Moran and there will also be a collection/fundraiser on the night. So please come along and support as the provision of Defibrillators will be of major benefit to all living in the parish and surrounding area.
A late surge in our Shield A game against Glenfarne wasn’t enough to secure the points, as the concession of three first half goals ultimately denied Bornacoola their second win in the group as the visitors triumphed on a scoreline of 3-4 to 1-8. An excellent Senior debut from Declan Shanley saw him score 1-2 and the Shield has proved very useful in this regard as the likes of Christy Bohan, Ollie Vaughan and Damian Mc Gowan have also been able to cut their teeth at senior level over the past few weeks.
The team on Saturday was: Ollie Vaughan, Brian Mallon, Jason Conroy, Damien Mc Guinness, John Reynolds, Daniel Canning, John Mc Guinness, Morgan Shanley, Bobby Shanley, Trevor Howard, John Bohan, Brian Conroy, Mark Mc Closkey (0-5) and Feargal Mc Gill (0-1). Sub used: Declan Shanley (1-2)
1000 Points Challenge
Our underage players turned out in great numbers on Saturday to take part in the 1000 Point Challenge. The fundraising drive for the young players was well supported again this year and with special thanks to the parents who braved the elements on Saturday morning to cheering on the young Bors.

Dublin Championship
The Dublin Senior football Championship is underway and our own David O’Connor starred at midfield for holders UCD on Wednesday night last as they defeated Garda in the first round. A couple of years ago, another current Bornacoola player – Philip Howard – also played in the Dublin Senior Championship with Erin’s Hope (the St Patrick’s College GAA club). Indeed over the years many Bornacoola players have played in Dublin – Michael Farrell (Postal Gaels) and Ciaran Fallon (Civil Service) are two of a recent vintage that spring to mind.

Division 3 League
The Division 3 team maintained their excellent start to the season with a good win over Gortleterragh in Cornageeha on Saturday evening. Despite missing five regulars, the Bors were quickly out of the blocks and scored three goals in the first twenty minutes to leave Gortletteragh with a mountain to climb. The first came from Brian Conroy with Niall Mc Gowan supplying two. A penalty save from Bornacoola keeper Ollie Vaughan denied the home team their best goal scoring chance.
In the second period, Gortletteragh stuck to the task manfully and at one point had reduced a nine point gap to just four but Bornacoola steadied the ship in the closing minutes to run out 3-7 to 0-10 victors.
The team and scorers was: Ollie Vaughan, Brian Mallon, John Reynolds, Christy Bohan, Brendan Duignan, Richie Bohan, Dermot Shanley, Trevor Howard, Danny Canning, Bobby Shanley (0-2), John Bohan, Niall Mc Gowan (2-2), Robert Moran (0-1), Brian Conroy (1-2) and Brian Reilly.

With the sun beaming down many players made debuts as the Bors played four games against Aughnasheelin, Cloone, Aughavas and Kiltubrid. For the record the Bors finished the morning’s football with two wins, a draw and a defeat.

The Division 3 team began their campaign in impressive fashion with an excellent victory over Mohill in Dromod on Saturday evening. The foundations for the win were laid early when goals from Brian Conroy and John Bohan set us on the road to victory. Mohill fought their way back into the game but two late points ensured we recorded our maiden victory of the 2007 campaign on a 2-9 to 1-10 scoreline.
The team and scorers was: Ollie Vaughan, Christy Bohan, Seamus Mallon, John Reynolds, Conor Mc Cauley (0-1), Richard Bohan, Dermot Shanley, Daniel Canning, Trevor Howard, Feargal Howard (0-1), Niall Mc Gowan (0-3), John Bohan (1-0), Sean Mc Keon (0-2), Brian Conroy (1-1) and Brian Mallon (0-1). Subs used were Robert Moran and Bobby Shanley. The boys are due to play Gortletteragh on Saturday next at 4.30pm in Cornageeha.
Scor Finals
A Connacht Scor title arrived for the club on Saturday night when our Question Time team qualified for the All Ireland final for the second year in a row. Aidan Dockery, Liam Rabbitte and Feargal Mc Gill were on duty and they will now represent Leitrim and Connacht at the All Ireland finals in Killarney on April 29th. Louise Staunton performed for us in Recitation and was unlucky not to join the five Leitrim winners on the night. Our congratulations to Glencar/Manorhamilton Figure Dancers, to Sinead Egan in Solo Singing, to the St Caillin’s Novelty Act and the Instrumental Music group from Dromahair who have all qualified for the All Ireland finals.
Junior B
The 3rd team played St Mary’s on Sunday morning in an entertaining game. Two goals for Carrick – one in either half – effectively wrapped up the points, but had we taken a number of good scoring chances it might have been a lot closer. The full time score was 2-5 to 1-4 and the Bornacoola team was: Ollie Vaughan, Sean Ryan, Richard Bohan, Christy Bohan, Brendan Duignan, John Reynolds, Damian Mc Gowan, Peter Mallon, John Bohan, Jackie Conboy, Feargal Howard, Sean Mc Keon, Mervyn Howard, John Shanley and Brian Reilly. Subs introduced were David Mulligan, Paschal Mahon and Kevin Mallon. This week’s game is against Fenagh on Sunday at 12pm in Fenagh.
Ladies Football
The Ladies team played Annaduff in Páirc Uí Choiligh on Sunday morning in their second league game of the campaign and showed a huge improvement on the previous week. Indeed had we managed to convert a few excellent first half goal chances, the game might have developed differently. As it was, at the other end of the field a certain Mrs Mallon was in terrific form for Annaduff and punished the Bornacoola defence on several occasions. An entertaining game which ended with a 4-9 to 3-1 victory for our neighbours.
The Bornacoola panel on Sunday was Michelle Reilly, Jillian Duignan, Niamh Reynolds. Orla Bohan, Sarah Duffy, Fiona Reilly, Charlotte Faughnan, Lisa Mc Gowan, Leonie Duffy, Cora Mc Cauley, Michelle O Beirne, Alison Mc Keon, Kelly Howard, Maeve Duffy, Louise Staunton and Naomi Faughnan
Around the Club
Our congratulations to former(?) player David Conroy on his recent engagement to Mairead Mc Hugh. We haven’t given up hope of a comeback to the playing fields for Mr Conroy just yet….. A huge crowd at the going away party for club members Naomi Faughnan and Ellen Duignan on Saturday last in the Vibe. The girls are Australia Bound from next weekend and we hope they have a terrific year. We look forward to seeing them back in the Bornacoola colours on their return….. Speaking of Australia, on her way home is Louise Farrell and she should be a terrific addition to the Ladies team in the coming weeks….. A great collection of Bornacoola people of all ages in the Hyde on Sunday last and Gary Mc Closkey’s crucial goal brought them all to their feet….. Another fine turnout at the Club Draw in the Bridge on Friday night and Kevin and his helpers are doing an excellent job in their organisation of the event. Our thanks to Mary and the Reynolds’ family for their usual exceptional hospitality….. Saturday morning training for all ages up to U-14 is going really well. Full credit to the two John’s (Reynolds and Mc Guinness), Kevin and Philip who are doing a terrific job with our young players….. Finally this week, a few birthdays to mention – Mary in Cloncolory would be most upset if she didn’t get a mention, as would Hubert in Esker who celebrates on the 16th I think, while local musicians Tom (Rooskey) and Ronnie (Cloonturk) are also adding another year around this time
U-10 Blitz
There is an U10 blitz in Aughnasheelin on Saturday next at 10.30am. Parents and players are asked to meet at the park in Dromod at 9.45am and to bring all football gear. This is a great opportunity for our younger players as they begin their careers in the black and amber.

It’s two wins and two defeats for our Division 5 team this year as they went down to Mohill on Sunday morning last in a competitive game. A crucial goal for the visitors proved the difference. St Mary’s are next on the list in Dromod on Sunday morning at 11.30am

Well done to everyone who took part in 2007. The club was one of the few represented in all eight disciplines and this is quite an achievement in itself.

Seachtain na Gaeilge
Is í Seachtain na Gaeilge an fhéile Ghaeilge agus chultúrtha is mó a bhíonn ar siúl in Éirinn gach bliain agus beidh sé ar siúl i mbliana go dtí an 17ú Márta. Beidh na céadta míle duine ag glacadh páirte in imeachtaí - céilithe, ceolchoirmeacha agus tráthanna na gceist boird san áireamh - a bheidh á n-eagrú ag suas le 250 grúpa i mí Mhárta. Beidh na himeachtaí seo á n-eagrú i ngach contae in Éirinn, chomh maith le Ceanada, na Stáit Aontaithe, an Bhrasaíl, Sasana, agus an Ghearmáin. Glacfaidh na céadta scoil agus club óige páirt san fhéile chomh maith trí imeachtaí éagsúla a chur ar siúl. Táimid fhéin ag déanamh iarracht páirt bheag a ghlacadh sa seachtain seo ar son an chlub le cúpla líne de na nótaí a chur as Gaeilge. B'fhéidir go mbeidh sibh féin in ann cúpla focail Gaeilge a úsáid i rith an tseachtain. Na Barrs Abú!
Dinnéar an Chlub
Bhí Dinnéar-Damhsa an chlub againn san Ostán Shannon Quay de Satharn seo chaite. Oíche den chéad scoth a bhí ann is bronnadh gradaim speisialta ar foireann an chlub ó 1957 a bhuaigh Craobh Cheannais Sinsear Liatroma. Fuair Mícheál Ó Duigeanáin an duais do imreoir na mbliana sinsear, Niall Mac Gabhann an duais i idirmheánach agus Risteard Ó Buacháin an rud chéanna don foireann sóisear.

Ár mbuíochas do Mícheál Mac Gabhann agus a choiste don obair go léir a rinne siad chun an oíche iontach seo a chuir le chéile. Do Niall Ó Flionn freisin, bainisteoir nua san Ostán, agus a foireann a chuir dinnéar den chéad scoth le chéile agus don bhanna cheoil “Gobsmacked”. Rinne Tomás Ó Moráin ó Bhéal an Átha Mhóir job iontach greannmhar lena smaointe ar an bhliain 1957 agus bhí Mícheál Ó Fearaíl tharr barr mar an “Bhan Gharda” ag deireadh an oíche.
