Gortletteragh proved much the better side as we suffered another disappointing reversal in Division 1 of the league on Saturday night last.
The team on duty was: Feargal Mc Gill, Damian Mc Guinness, Conor Mc Cauley, Jason Conroy, John Mc Guinness, Morgan Shanley (0-1), Mervyn Howard (0-1), Colm Farrell, Paul Hackett, Trevor Howard, Mark Mc Closkey (0-6), Shane Conroy, Ollie Vaughan (0-1), David O Connor and Sean Mc Keon.

Under 16 League
The Under 16 team played their final league game on Tuesday evening last in the 11-a-side league and were defeated by a stronger Aughavas team on a scoreline of 4-09 to 3-04. Team and scorers: Shane Sullivan, Conor McWeeney, Daniel Farrell, Ciaran Campbell, Barry Reid, Roy Keenan (Capt) 1-01, Mark Muldowney 1-0, Kevin Shanley 1-0, Tony Shanley 0-1, Anthony Mulligan (0-1) Conor Hackett (0-1) subs used Ian Mulligan and Liam Mulligan. Thanks to John Muldowney and Henry Faughnan for their continued work with the lads.
Congratulations
Everyone in the club sends their congratulations to Leitrim panellist and Bornacoola player John Mc Guinness who announced his engagement to long time girlfriend Fiona Byrne from Cork at the weekend. Fiona is a huge Cork GAA fan but has become a regular attendee at Bornacoola games over the last number of years. John’s commitment to the club in a lengthy playing career has been exemplary as he regularly travelled back from romantic rendezvous in the Rebel County to pull on the Black and Amber. Long may it continue and our best wishes to you both for long life and happiness together.
Fixtures
A busy week ahead for Bornacoola teams. On Friday, the U-14’s travel to Leitrim Gaels; on Saturday afternoon the Senior team play Mohill at 3.30pm. On Sunday, the Junior A team have a 2pm appointment in Division 3 of the league in Annaduff and on Bank Holiday Monday, it’s the turn of our Junior B’s who play St Mary’s in Division 4.

Senior League
We made the long trip to Melvin Gaels on Saturday night last. Minus a number of regulars, an early injury which forced the withdrawal of Michael Duignan left the Bors with an uphill struggle. Trailing by 9 points at half time, Bornacoola made a brave attempt to get back into the game but despite creating a number of goal chances, were unable to raise the green flag that might have turned the game in their favour. Two goals for the Gaels in the closing minutes ensured what was ultimately a deserved victory for the Kinlough club. Our thanks to Melvin Gaels for their hospitality after the game.
Team on duty was: Gerry Gearty, Damian Mc Guinness, Conor Mc Cauley (0-2), Jason Conroy, John Mc Guinness (0-1), Morgan Shanley, Mervyn Howard, Michael Duignan, Colm Farrell, Trevor Howard (0-1), Feargal Howard, Declan Shanley (0-1), Ollie Vaughan, Brian Conroy (0-2) and Sean Mc Keon. Subs used: Jonathan Duffy and Aidan Reilly. This Saturday evening we play Gortletteragh in Dromod in at 6.30pm
Division 3
The Junior A team were in action in Dromod on Sunday morning last when they met a very strong Ballinaglera outfit. Enjoying an exceptional first half, the Bors went to the dressing room two points to the good. However, with nine of the team having played in Kinlough in very warm conditions the previous evening, the Bors visibly tired in the second half as Glera began to find their accuracy and a string of well taken scores ensured a comfortable 0-14 to 0-6 victory for the visitors.
Bornacoola team was: Feargal Mc Gill, Sean Ryan, Seamus Mallon, Brendan Duignan, Damian Mc Guinness, Shane Conroy, Mervyn Howard, Feargal Howard, Damian Moran, Jonathan Duffy, Declan Shanley, Aidan Reilly, Ollie Vaughan, Brian Conroy and Brian Reilly. Subs used: John Bohan, Alan Croghan.
U-14 Boys
The U-14 team suffered defeat against Gortletteragh last week. However, it was a most encouraging performance and the very positive onfield attitude of the players was most notable. The panel on duty included Shane Sullivan Ciaran Campbell, Dillon Hackett, Fergal Hackett, Robert O’Beirne, Kevin Shanley, Liam Mulligan, Karl Mallon, Gearoid Mulligan, Ronan Mulligan, Brian Duffy, Liam Jones, Patrick Kozack, Kevin Mulligan
Fundraising Draw
I’m told that tickets for the Club’s upcoming fundraising draw are beginning to sell like hot cakes. They are available from all members of the club and of course the finance generated will ensure the upkeep of our facilities in Dromod for the benefit of all in the parish. Priced at €20 each, there are a range of excellent prizes on offer including: 1st €3000, 2nd €1500 voucher sponsored by Sean and Deidre Farrell “Flair”, 3rd Two All Ireland Football tickets, 4th Two All Ireland Hurling tickets, 5th Dinner for 4 in Flynn’s Shannon Key West hotel, 6th Dinner for four in the Copper still, Dromod plus five more prizes of €100 each. We would ask every club member to put in a special effort to make this venture a success.
Ladies News
The Ladies were due to play Ballinamore last weekend, but that game was cancelled. On Bank Holiday Monday they played a very mobile Dromahaire team in Dromod and it was the North Leitrim girls who emerged victorious. The girls will more than likely be in action this weekend – check fixtures sections of the local papers for information.
All Ireland Success
We were delighted to be the first to extend a congratulatory Céad Míle Fáilte to the Sean O Heslins Novelty Act that won the Scór All Ireland title in Killarney at the weekend. The victorious troupe were welcomed at Cloonturk by a large contingent of Bors and well wishers from across Leitrim. Comhghairdeas ó chroí ó gach duine i mBarr na Cúille.
Division 4
Our third team play Dromahaire in Division 4 this weekend. Please check with management for time and venue details.

Senior League
An understrength Bornaccola enjoyed an excellent three point victory over Aughawillan on Saturday last in Division 1 of the Masonite Senior league. The Bors lead through most of the game, but a late surge from Aughawillan almost yielded a draw for the visitors as a last minute penalty came back off the post as the Bors held on for a 0-9 to 0-6 victory.
Team: Feargal Mc Gill, Jason Conroy, Conor Mc Cauley, Damian Mc Guinness, Mervyn Howard, Morgan Shanley, John Mc Guinness (0-1), Michael Duignan, Paul Hackett (0-1), Trevor Howard, Ollie Vaughan (0-1), Jonathan Duffy, Sean Mc Keon (0-1), Brian Conroy (0-2), Mark Mc Closkey (0-3).

U-14 League
The U-14’s played Kiltubrid on Friday evening, and produced a terrific second half display. Unfortunately their territorial dominance in that period wasn’t reflected on the scoreboard and a wonderful display from the Kiltubrid keeper ensured they held out for a 4-5 to 0-8 win in a most entertaining game.

40 Years of Scór
Well done to all involved with Scór Liatroma for their exceptional organisation of a concert to celebrate 40 years of Scór Liatroma in Ballinamore on Saturday last. Bornacoola were well represented with former All Ireland Recitation winner Aidan Dockery performing superbly on the night and the Connacht title winning Ballad Group from 1983 (featuring Tom Moran, Sean Mc Gowan, Anne Keenan, Philomena Mulligan and Feargal Mc Gill – representing the late Cormac) also on stage. However, it was the successful Set Dancers from the mid-80’s who really brought the house down with Patricia Mc Goldrick, Anne Keenan, Philomena Mulligan, Martina Hackett (in place of the unavailable Teresa Duignan), Micheal Mc Gowan, Sean Beirne, Seoirse Reynolds (in place of an injured Tommy Larkin) and Gerard Mulligan turning back the years to provide a fabulous performance. Comhghairdeas daoibh go léir is do gach duine a bhfuil baint acu le Scór Liatroma i mbliana is tríd dhá scór mbliana den chomórtais.

The Club Draw was held in the Shannon Key West Hotel on Saturday night last. Winners were: Eur100 Mae Mc Gushin Eur20 Joesephine Mc Gushin, Pauline Hanley, John Duffy Pat Farrell (Dromod) and Benny Kenny.
Division 3
The Division 3 team played their third game of the competition on Sunday last when they took on Drumkeerin in the Park. A goal from early substitute Alan Croghan helped the Bors to a commanding half time lead of eight points. However, the introduction of Francis Davitt saw a re-energised Drumkeerin in the second half and a terrific comeback from the visitors saw them come up just short as the Bors held on for a 1-12 to 0-11 victory.
