Senior Team Matters
The Senior team have been drawn with Carrigallen and Aughnasheelin in the 2009 Masonite Senior Championship. On Sunday afternoon last, the lads played Oldcastle and enjoyed an encouraging victory. Our thanks to the Meath side for providing an excellent work out. Next Saturday evening the lads are at home to Aughawillan in a Division 1 league meeting that will have a 6pm throw-in.
Club Draw
This month’s club draw takes place next Saturday night in the Shannon Key West. Music and house draw on the night.
Underage Training
Training for our underage players continues every Saturday morning at 11am. The numbers attending have been outstanding so far.
Scór
Our Question Time team were denied what would have been a historic fourth Connacht Title in a row when they were pipped by just 2 marks in last Sunday’s Connacht final in Elphin by Roscommon champions Clan na nGael. Well done once again to our team of Aidan Dockery, Louise Staunton and Liam Rabbitte and no doubt they’ll be back next year in search of another title. It was however a good night for Leitrim as the Sean O Heslins novelty act and the figure dancers from Glencar/Manorhamilton advanced to the All Ireland finals. In addition, the Cormac Mc Gill memorial trophy was presented for the first time to Leitrim as the overall County winners in Connacht. The trophy was presented by Connacht Council and named after our late club man Cormac.
Meanwhile, this Friday night, a concert celebrating 40 years of Scor Liatroma will take place in Ballinamore Community Centre at 8.30pm. The concert will see many of the great Scór acts of the past taking part including the Bornacoola Ballad group from 1983 (which will include Sean Mc Gowan, Tom Moran, Philomena Mulligan, Anne Keenan – nee Mulligan and Feargal Mc Gill in place of his father Cormac) and the Set Dancers of the mid 80’s that dominated Connacht for many years. I understand the Set Dance team on Friday night will feature Anne and Philomena, Patricia Mc Goldrick (nee Reilly), Martina Hackett (in place of Teresa Duignan who unfortunately is unavailable on the night), Tommy Larkin, Sean Beirne, Gerard Mulligan, Micheal Mc Gowan. It should be a night not to be missed.
Junior A
The Junior A team travel to Drumkeerin on Sunday next for a Division 3 league game which gets underway at 2.30pm. In the Masonite Junior A championship, the boys have been drawn in a group alongside Melvin Gaels and St Marys.
Division 4
A highly entertaining game in the park last Saturday evening as the Bors 3rd team took on Sean O Heslins 2nd team. Two first half goals for the Ballinamore team seemed to have set them on the road to victory but a well taken penalty from Damian Moran just before half time left the Bors a chink of light. O Heslins again opened a sizable lead in the 2nd period, but the Bors refused to give up and two John Bohan goals brought the sides level as the clock ticked down. However a strong finish from the visitors ensured a victory for them on a scoreline of 2-12 to 3-7.
Team: Dara Gavigan, Sean Ryan, Christy Bohan, John Shanley, David Mulligan, Paul Hackett, Brendan Duignan, Mervyn Howard, Bobby Shanley, Ollie Vaughan, John Bohan, Aidan Reilly, Damian Moran, Brian Reilly and Kevin Mallon.
Ladies League
The Ladies team face a long journey to Dromahaire on Sunday morning next for a game that will throw-in at 12 noon.

Birthday Wishes
The March and April period is a great time of year for birthdays and lots of celebrations in this respect within the club in recent weeks. A little birdie was in touch to tell me that Mary Mc Cauley has clocked up the half century this week – I had to get in touch with Sean to make sure this was accurate, but he assures me the tacograph is reading 50 right enough. Another Mary would no doubt be very disappointed if I forgot to give her the annual mention – that’s our own Mrs Reynolds in Cloncolory who will add another year on Friday next. Happy Birthday to you both and I hope the respective hubbies dug deep in the pockets to deliver the presents of your dreams!! Finally, if my records aren’t failing me, I think around mid April there might be a few candles lighting on a cake up in Esker where Rose will again be practicing her singing of Happy Birthday as Hubert adds another year and indeed our Player of the Year Colm will need a cake this week too! Busy times on the Birthday front.

While all of our participants performed exceptionally well, it was the Question Time team of Aidan Dockery, Liam Rabbitte and Louise Staunton who were our sole winners on the night. A special word of thanks to Mary Cassidy and John Geary for providing the music for our set dancers, not just on the night but over the past couple of weeks and indeed the last number of years. Also to Kathleen Moffatt and Tracey O Neill for the huge effort they put in to preparing our dancers and to Fox’s of Tooman and the Shannon Key in Rooskey for use of their premises for rehearsals. Finally a word of praise to our Scor co-ordinator Martina Hackett who pulled out all the stops to ensure an excellent Bornacoola entry for the 40th anniversary of Scór Liatroma.

Junior A – Division 3
Our Junior A team had their second game of the season and recorded an excellent 2-13 to 1-8 victory over Glencar Manorhamilton in the park on Sunday morning last. A hard working first half left the Bors 0-7 to 0-4 ahead at the break but when Manor goaled in the opening minute of the second half it looked like the Bors had it all to do as they were playing into the teeth of a strong wind. However a superb goal from Ollie Vaughan steadied the Bors and when Bobby Shanley added a second about 8 minutes from the end, it was clear the points were staying in Dromod.
Bor team was Feargal Mc Gill, Sean Ryan, Seamus Mallon, John Reynolds, Mervyn Howard (0-1), Paul Hackett, Damian Mc Guinness (0-2), Feargal Howard (0-2), Bobby Shanley (1-1), Damian Moran (0-2), Shane Conroy (0-1), Jonathan Duffy (0-3), Brian Conroy (0-1), Brian Reilly and Ollie Vaughan (1-0), Subs used Alan Croghan, Declan Shanley

The U-16 team got their season underway on Saturday morning last when they played Dromahair in Dromod. A terrific first half from the young Bors left them a point up at half time having played against the wind. However, they couldn’t sustain the effort in the second half and Dromahaire grinded out a two point victory – 1-8 to 1-6. Bornacoola scorers were Anthony Mulligan 1-2, Tony Shanley 0-1, Roy Keenan 0-1, Mark Muldowney 0-1 and Kevin Shanley 0-1.

Division 3
Our Junior A team got their season underway when they played Mohill on Saturday afternoon last in Dromod. Fielding a young team, Bornacoola burst into an early three point lead. However, playing with the wind, Mohill steadied for the remainder of the first half and were well worth their three point half time lead. When a Mohill goal left the town team six points clear mid way through the second half, it looked as if the Bors were dead and buried. However, a Brian Reilly goal and a fighting final quarter from Bornacoola almost produced a great result but Mohill held on for a 1-11 to 1-8 victory.
The Bornacoola team was: Feargal Mc Gill, John Shanley, Seamus Mallon, John Reynolds, Mervyn Howard, Damian Mc Guinness, John Mc Govern, Shane Conroy, Feargal Howard, Damian Moran, Bobby Shanley, Ollie Vaughan, Declan Shanley, Brian Conroy and Brian Reilly. Subs used Sean Ryan and MJ Winters.
The U-14 league got underway on Saturday morning but there was no joy for the young Bors as they fell to a seven point defeat when they played St Caillins in Dromod. However, there was much to enthuse about in the Bornacoola performance and a similar effort in the weeks to come will surely produce the desired results.
Scór Sinsir
As we mentioned last week, it is the 40th anniversary of Scór and the Bors had a huge representation at the county semi-finals held last weekend.

The Last Ever Adventure of Diggerman?
Not so long ago, we used to keep you up to date on “The Adventures of DiggerMan”, the ever popular Derek “Digger” Duignan from Cloonturk. Last Saturday, Derek married Renea Armstrong in Ballina, just south of
While Digger’s mother Teresa, father Seamus and brothers Ronnie and Brendan headed Down Under to join in the celebrations (and link up with sister Orla who is also married in Australia) last week, literally hundreds of people from Bornacoola and further afield asked I ensure they extend their best wishes through the club notes to Derek and Renea. So on behalf of all your friends in
Incidentally, the name Digger was bestowed on our hero sometime in the late 90’s by his then housemate Mark Mc Closkey following a particularly uninspiring performance for the Leitrim hurlers. If you want to know the reason why, I’m sure Mark won’t hesitate in enlightening you!!
