U-14 Féile
The U-14 team were involved in the Connacht Féile on Saturday and following the very successful parade in Carrick-on-Shannon, Páirc Barr na Cúille played host to Aughnasheelin, Cloone and Sligo team Buninadden.
The Bors enjoyed victories over their two Leitrim rivals, but Buninadden proved the team of the day with a four point victory over Bornacoola in a great game.
Our thanks to all who helped out in making this a memorable day for the players involved and we look forward to the All Ireland competition coming to the county in 2007.
U-12 Team
The U-12’s recorded their second victory of the campaign on Friday night last. Well done to all involved.
Sympathy
We’d like to extend the sympathies of all at the club to the Larkin family on the death at the weekend of Margaret, wife of the late Francie. Margaret’s son Tommy is manager of the Intermediate team and their game at the weekend was cancelled as a mark of respect. Ar Dheis Dé go raibh a hanam.
U-14 League
The U-14 team have had a tremendous run in the league this year which was finally brought to a halt when Ballinaglera came from behind to deny us a famous victory in the play off game last week. This young team have worked extremely hard all year and the improvement that has been evident is remarkable.
Well done to the entire panel over the last couple of weeks which included Daniel Farrell, Tony Shanley, Roy Keenan, John Hackett, Harry Cumiskey, Kevin Canning, Kevin Shanley, Anthony Mulligan, Conor Hackett, Mark Muldowney, Ciaran Campbell, Barry Reid and Liam Mulligan.
Retirement
All at the club would like to wish the very best in retirement to Mary Gannon and husband Jim who provided an excellent service to the parish from their premises in Clonmorris for a long number of years. A great house for a chat and a wonderful gathering place at the crossroads, the closure of the Post Office is a sad event for everyone in Bornacoola and sees the end of yet another landmark institution.
It seems nowadays that the worth of any institution is only measured coldly in terms of the profit and loss sheet Any attempt to evaluate Bornacoola Post Office and the immeasurable contributions of the Bohan and Gannon families to the life of the area in such a way would be to completely overlook the huge role of such institutions in a social context within rural Ireland. It was a gathering point, a place where neighbours met and shared their news, a focus for a small rural community, a place where a sympathetic ear would be available and a problem could be shared and thus halved. The Post Office will be sadly missed.
On Friday night, the various Associations within the parish come together to celebrate the contribution of the Gannons. The function will be held in the Community Centre at 9pm and we’d ask you to support it if at all possible.

Minor League
The Minor team captured the first silverware of the season with an outstanding display of mature football against St Mary’s in Carrick-on-Shannon on Thursday evening last. A terrific first half display, which included a well taken goal by Declan Shanley, sent Bornacoola in at the interval five points to the good, and having withstood intense pressure from the town team in the second half a penalty goal converted by Sean Mc Keon proved to be the decisive score as we held out for a historic victory on a scoreline of 2-12 to 1-9.
The team and scorers were: Alan Croghan, Conor Mc Cauley, Sean Ryan, Damian Mc Gowan, Niall O Connor, Paul Hackett, David O Connor (0-7), Fergal Howard (0-2), Mervyn Howard, Sean Mc Keon (1-1), Oliver Vaughan, Declan Shanley (1-2), David Mulligan. Subs; Damian Moran for David Mulligan, Darren Faughnan, Bernard Hackett and Darren Mc Gushin.

Gaelic Telecom
Noel Mahon has been appointed as the local area rep for Gaelic Telecom. This is an opportunity to raise money for the club by changing your service provider to Gaelic Telecom. Under the scheme, by switching their phone to Gaelic Telecom, club members can save themselves money on line rental and call charges, but more importantly, 15% of the value of their call charges are rebated to their nominated club.
In the last 6 months, Gaelic Telecom have rebated €250,000 to GAA clubs around the country. We recently received a cheque for €280 and as more club members subscribe the club will benefit accordingly. The feedback from those who have switched has been positive so if you are interested in changing your provider or have any questions regarding the scheme we’d ask you to contact Noel at 087 2646931

The Minor team captured the first silverware of the season with an outstanding display of mature football against St Mary’s in Carrick-on-Shannon on Thursday evening last. A terrific first half display, which included a well taken goal by Declan Shanley, sent Bornacoola in at the interval five points to the good, and having withstood intense pressure from the town team in the second half a penalty goal converted by Sean Mc Keon proved to be the decisive score as we held out for a historic victory on a scoreline of 2-12 to 1-9.

Young Bors make their debuts
Last Saturday saw the latest generation of young Bors make their debuts in the black & amber at an under 10 blitz in Gortletteragh. A fantastic day saw the return of the black and amber hooped jerseys and our young guns did themselves proud in games against Mohill, Drumreilly/Aughwillian, Carrigallen and Gortletteragh.
Our supporters saw some great individual performances and most importantly the first steps of a new Bornacoola team throughout the morning.
Representing Bornacoola on Saturday were; Ronan Mulligan, Clara Reid, Fergal Hackett, Gearoid Mulligan, Liam Mulligan, Seona Cosgrove, Kevin Mulligan, Sean Muldowney, Robert O'Byrne, Kevin Shanley, Shannon Boyle, Aaron Hackett, Michelle Hackett. Dillon Hackett, Karl Mallon, Cian Mallon.
Finally we would like to thank Gortletteragh GFC and the Leitrim County Board for a fantastic mornings football and we would also like to thank our supporters who turned out to cheer the young Bors on.
U-16 League Final
Despite a brave performance in the U-16 league final against a Drumreilly/Aughawillan amalgamation in which we led for most of the game, the concession of two goals at crucial times ultimately cost Bornacoola victory on a scoreline of 2-9 to 0-11. The team and scorers was: John Hackett; Sean Ryan, Darren Faughnan, Kevin Canning; Damien McGowan, Anthony Mulligan, Paul Hackett; Niall O'Connor, David Mulligan; Sean McKeon (0-6), Mervyn Howard (0-5); Damien Moran, Alan Croghan.
All Ireland Scor Final
No joy for the Bors in Killarney on Saturday last. Aiden Dockery gave a wonderful performance in Recitation, but the title went to Cornafean. In Tráth na gCeist, a very experienced Monaleen team from Limerick came away with the honours despite the best efforts of Aidan, Liam Rabbitte and Marie Therese Dockery. However, there was some joy for Leitrim in the Ballad Group where Aughnasheelin gained just reward for all of the effort they have put in over the years by finally capturing that elusive All Ireland title. To Cait, Síle, Sinead, Brendan, Declan and all in the Aughnasheelin club we extend our congratulations on this excellent achievement

Pride of place this week goes to our Scór winners in the in the Connacht final of Scór Sinsear on Sunday night last in Tubbercurry, Co Sligo . With the club representing Leitrim in three disciplines, we secured two Connacht titles in Recitation and Question Time. Aidan Dockery performed to his usual high standard to win the recitation.
Our Question time team matched his feat and won the title after a tie-breaker round and well done to the team of Aidan Dockery, Liam Rabbitte and Marie Therese Dockery who deputised for the absent Feargal McGill.
Despite a lively display from our Set Dancing team of Philomena Mulligan, John Reynolds, Martina Hackett, Seoirse Reynolds, Mary Mallon , John Shanley, Lorraine Reynolds and Peter Mallon, the title went to a very polished Roscommon team.
Hopefully they will return stronger next year. Also, well done to the Ballad group from Aughnasheelin and Figure dancing team from Glencar/Manor on winning Connacht titles. We wish Aidan and the Question time team the best of luck in the All-Ireland finals in Killarney in early April.

Ladies Training
Ladies training is continuing on Wednesday evenings under Peter Mallon and Sean Mc Gowan.

Well done to Gillian who had an outstanding year in the black and amber and our apologies for the oversight last week.
Sympathy
The sympathies of all at the club are extended to Angela Faughnan and family (Dromod) on the recent passing of Angela’s sister Nora Maguire (Cortober). Also to the Reynolds (Cloncolory), Shanley (Ballyheeher) and Duffy (Cloonmorris) families on the death of Molly Lanigan in England, an aunt of Mary, Kathleen and Bríd.

Scór
There has been a great response to the annual call for Scor entries, due in no small part to the outstanding work of new Culture Officer Martina Hackett, and the Bornacoola entries take to the stage on home ground on Friday night next in the Community Centre at 8pm. Hopefully there will be a big local turn out to get behind the Bornacoola entrants.
Dinner Dance
The Annual Dinner Dance was held on Friday night last in the Shannon Key West. Among the presentations on the night was the Player of the Year Award for 2005 which went to team Captain Seamus Mallon.

There were also presentations made to the U-16 and Minor managers Jackie Conboy and Brian Mallon for their achievements in 2005, to Conor Mc Cauley on winning Leirtim's Young Hurler of the year and to Fionnuala Howard for her contribution to Bornacoola teams from a medical perspective.
The main presentation on the night was to the players form the successful Intermediate team who captured the Division 3 shield title at the end of the year.
A great night for the club and we'd like to thank Gerry Mc Govern and Patricia Bohan for representing their respective County Boards and of course all associated with the Hotel.
Finally a big thank you and well done to Michael Mc Gowan and his committee who once again delivered a very well organised and entertaining night.
Division 3 League
Training continues for all players on Friday nights at 8.30pm and on Tuesday for the home based players at 8pm.

Dinner Dance
The Dinner Dance takes place on Friday night next, February 24th in the Shannon Key West Hotel in Roosky and music on the night will be by Busy Fingers. There are still a number of tickets priced €35 available from Mícheál Mc Gowan (086 2561023), Jackie Conboy (087 8249820), Tom Moran, Orla Bohan, Pat Farrell and Trevor Howard. A great night in store with the usual spot prizes, guest speakers and the presentation of the Annual Awards for Ladies and men’s club players of the year and the Club person of the Year.
Minor League
The Minor team played their second league game on Sunday last and again produced the goods with an excellent 2-9 to 1-8 victory over Sean O Heslins. Two second half goals in quick sucession from Declan Shanley and Feargal Howard were the crucial scores that ensured our excellent start to the year was maintained.
The team at the weekend was: Alan Croghan, Conor Mc Cauley, Sean Ryan, Damian Mc Gowan, Niall O Connor, Paul Hackett, David O Connor (0-4), Fergal Howard (1-0), Mervyn Howard (0-1), Sean Mc Keon (0-3), David Mulligan, Declan Shanley (1-0), Oliver Vaughan (0-1). Subs: Darren Mc Gushin and Bernard Hackett.
GOAL
A note to hand from Noel Mahon to thank all for their contributions to the New Year’s Day GOAL mile. Noel tells me that EUR 9,116.10 was raised. Go raibh maith agaibh go léir is ráth Dé ar an obair iontach a Nollaig.
Sympathies
We’d like to express the sympathies of all at the club to the Farrell family, Cloonmorris on the death of Mary and also the Daly family Moheraven on the death of Tommy, one of the oldest people in the local area, who was a member of the 1928 Annaduff team and died recently aged 102. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a n-anamacha uilig.
Engagement
Our congratulations to club player and current Set dancing sensation John “Barnes” Shanley, on his engagement at the weekend to long time girlfriend Louise Crowe from Dromod. It was proof positive that the Bors are indeed getting very cosmopolitan as hot on the heels of Brian Mallon’s proposal in Rome, John got on the knee in the City of love itself, Paris.
Indeed, whoever is planning the next Ceist Mór will have to really think hard to trump the two lads! In any case, the best of luck to you both and we all hope you have a very happy life together.

Hurler of the Year
Our congratulations to Conor Mc Cauley who was recently honoured as Leitrim’s Young Hurler of the Year for his performances in 2005. Conor is also an accomplished footballer, but it is great to see the ancient game being kept alive in the parish and one of our own excelling in the oldest and fastest field game on the planet. Maith thú a Conchubhair.
Congratulations
Our congratulations to club player, selector and official Brian Mallon on his recent engagement to Edel Hughes from Edgeworthstown. Edel and Brian have been going out with each other since sometime in the 1900’s and in proposing, Brian kept up that fine Mallon tradition with fountains by asking Edel at the Fontana di Trevi (or Trevi fountain to you and me) in Rome no less. Well, that’s certainly set the standard for the rest of ye. We’d like to wish the happy couple all the best in their future together.
Leitrim Supporters Club
Tickets for the Leitrim supporters club draw are available priced €40 from Sean Mc Gowan, Jackie Conboy, Shay Reynolds, Feargal Mc Gill and Orla Bohan. First prize is €5000 and there are many other attractive prizes.

Australia Bound
Louise Farrell has become the latest Bornacoolian to head Down Under. One of the stars of the ladies league and championship winning campaign in 2004, Louise was also a regular with the Leitrim Ladies and will be sorely missed by both club and county. We hope she has a great time in Australia and that her exile will be only temporary before a return to the Black and Amber in 2007.

The December club draw was held in the Copper Still on Christmas week. The winners were: EUR100 - Emma Gannon; EUR50 - Christy Farrell; EUR30 - Donal Croghan; EUR20 - Martin Horan, Hugh Colreavy, Ann Canning, Kathleen Shanley, Christy Farrell, Michael Farrell, Jim & Mary Gannon, Deirdre Burns, Josephine Mc Gushin, Neil Shanley and Ann Marie Bohan. The winner of a Bottle Of Whiskey (Sponsored by Sean Moffatt & Family) was Shirley Rodgers and a Meal Voucher (Sponsored By The Copper Still) - Shirley Rodgers.
We’d like to take this opportunity to thank all of those who supported the club draw throughout 2005. It remains a vital component in covering the day to day running expenses of the club and Shay and the organising committee deserve much credit for keeping the draw as strong as ever. We’d also like to thank the pubs in the parish who hosted the draw throughout the year. Go raibh mile maith agaibh go léir.
GOAL Mile
Bornacoola was the venue for the 2nd annual GOAL mile on New Year’s Day and many club players and members participated in the event which raised a significant amount for this worthy charity. Well done to Christy Carroll and Charlie Mc Gettigan for setting runners and walkers on their way and to all those who provided sponsorship and indeed took part in the event.
Our own Noel Mahon was the driving force behind the whole affair and he deserves great credit for the wonderful job he performed in organising the event. Noel has asked us to pass on his thanks to the club for hosting the event and to all those from the parish who participated on New Year’s Day.
Annual General Meeting
The Club AGM was held in the Community Centre on Saturday night last where the members were presented with excellently prepared reports from Secretary Shane Reynolds and Treasurer Jackie Conboy. The Chairman’s address reflected on a year saw the Senior team qualify for the County Final and the Intermediate team capture the Division 3 Shield.
He said it had been a particularly successful year at underage level where five trophies were won and he paid tribute to all those who had worked so hard with the younger players.
He thanked all of our sponsors for their invaluable help throughout the preceding twelve months and said he hoped 2006 would be the year when Bornacoola could finally win the Senior crown.
