Scór
A great night for Leitrim at the Connacht Finals of Scór in Manorhamilton on Saturday night last with five of the Leitrim teams qualifying for the All Ireland finals in Killarney on April 26th. Our own Louise Staunton in Recitation was very unlucky not to make it a sixth qualifier from Leitrim, but our Tráth na gCeist team of Aiden Dockery, Liam Rabbitte and Feargal Mc Gill earned their second Connacht title in a row and another chance at All Ireland glory. Other Leitrim winners included the Figure Dancers of Glencar/Manorhamilton, the musicians from Leitrim Gaels, the Sean O Heslin’s Novelty Act and St Mary’s Ballad Group. A special word of congratulations to Laura Crossan – daughter of our new manager Noel, who was part of the St Mary’s group. Best of luck to all of the Leitrim participants in the All Ireland finals.

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 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!

The semi finals of Senior Scor took place over the weekend and our own Community centre hosted the first semi-final on Friday night. Bornacoola participated in the Recitation, where Louise Staunton recited “A Mother’s Prayer” and in Question Time with Liam Rabbitte, Aidan Dockery and Declan Bohan performing and both have qualified for the County final, which will take place in Manorhamilton on Saturday night next.
Minor League
Our minors were in action against Ballinamore on last Sunday morning with the town team enjoying a comfortable 4-10 to 2-4 victory. There was a very strong wind blowing which favoured Ballinamore in the first half and indeed they took full advantage of it clocking up a lead of 2-8 to 0-2 at half time. In the second half Bornacoola upped their game with the wind and with two goals from Niall O’Connor and Mervyn Howard things were looking a bit better but Ballinamore were always the stronger and replied with two more goals.
Team and scorers were; Harry Comiskey, Sean Ryan, Roy Keenan, Kevin Canning, Damian Moran, Damian McGowan, Niall O’Connor 1-0, Paul Hackett, David Mulligan, Mervyn Howard 1-0, Alan Bohan, Sean McKeon 0-4, Alan Croghan. Subs used were Anthony Mulligan and Darren McGushin.

Golf Classic
The club will once again be running a Golf Classic in 2008, so make sure to keep Saturday, May 24th free in the diary and the competition will be held in Carrick on Shannon golf club.
Sympathy
Everyone involved in the club wish to extend our condolences to Gortletteragh GAA and in particular to the family of Stephen Doorigan, Tooman, who died suddenly in Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital Drogheda on Saturday last.
The Doorigan family are one of the great GAA clans in the county and it was no surprise that from an early age Stephen immersed himself in the playing of our national games and indeed all aspects of club life with his beloved Gortletteragh. He showed great promise at underage level and throughout his young life starred as both a hurler and footballer for Gortleterragh, St Mel’s and Leitrim as the need arose. Indeed he was one of the stars of the Gortletteragh team that reached the county senior football final in 2004 and scored three points in the decider against Annaduff.
Despite being taken from his family and friends at such a young age, Stephen had achieved an incredible amount in his 24 years. To Mickey, Helena and Rachel we offer our sympathies and we know how rightly proud you were of your son and brother. He earned the respect and admiration of all who played against him and were fortunate enough to have known him.
Stephen was laid to rest in Gortletteragh cemetery on Monday and the huge crowds who attended his funeral bore testament to the respect with which Stephen and the entire Doorigan family are held. Níor dhéanaimid dearmad air - solas na bhflaitheas dá anam.

Winners on the night included: €100 Gerry Boyle, €50 John Gilroy, €30 Seamus Duignan, €20 Michael Mallon, Nancy Mc Donagh, Kevin Mallon, Mary Mallon, Jackie Conboy, Michael Quinn, Mary Mallon, Cathal Reynolds, Mary Mallon, Veronica Quinn, & Sean Mc Cauley. We would like to take this opportunity to thank all of those who supported the Club Draw over the year – it remains the main source of income for the club and we are very much indebted to all who continue to support it.
We’d also like to thank all of the venues who have hosted the draw throughout the year and a particular word of thanks to Kevin Mallon and his select team who have worked extremely hard in promoting the draw. Go raibh míle maith agaibh go léir. Tickets for the 2008 draws will be on sale in the next fortnight.
Annual General Meeting
The AGM takes place this Sunday morning in the Community Centre at 11.30am. All interested in the club and its affairs are invited to attend. In particular we would welcome new members from around the area to come along and get involved with us for 2008.
Scór na nÓg
A great night for Barr na Cúille at the County Scór finals in Manorhamilton on Sunday last as the club captured county titles in Question Time (Tráth na gCeist) and Novelty Act (Nuachleas). The Question Time team was Tony Shanley, Mark Muldowney and Paul Dockery. Ronan Mulligan, Feargal Hackett, Carl Mallon, Coleen Bohan, Sara Reid, Orla Mc Weeney, Sean Muldowney and Shannon Boyle participated in the Novelty Act.
Both now go on to the Connacht Finals. However, the real celebrations were reserved for the winning of the Club of the Year Award – an outstanding achievement in light of what was an extremely competitive year in Leitrim Scór. All of those who participated – both in the semi-finals and again on Sunday, and all who gave of their time in assisting the Bornacoola Scór effort deserve great praise. Comhghairdeas daoibh uile.
Sympathies
On behalf of the club we would like to extend our sympathies to the Beirne family on the recent passings of Michael John and his sister Mary Ellen (Comerford). Both were living in the States but were originally from Cloontumpher. Michael John of course was a member of the last Bornacoola team to win the Leitrim Championship in 1957. He was unfortunately unable to attend the tribute night to that team last February, but his award did reach him in America. Over the Christmas period, Leitrim GAA lost two of its great personalities in Tony Mc Gowan and Tommy Riordan. Both men gave incredible service to Leitrim and we extend our sympathies to their families. Finally, the death has occurred in London of Dan Bohan (Tooman). To the Bohan and Conboy families we extend our deepest sympathies.
GOAL Mile
A note to hand from Noel Mahon to extend his thanks to all who helped out with and participated in the GOAL mile on New Year’s Day. As always, Noel had the organisation of the event down to a tee and his commitment to this most worthwhile of projects is deserving of exceptional praise.
FBD League
Liatroim got their FBD league campaign off to a winning start against GMIT on Sunday last. Michael Duignan, Gary Mc Closkey and David O Connor represented Bornacoola on the field, while Philip Howard was named among the substitutes. It was a particularly pleasing day for Gary Mc Closkey, who had the honour of captaining his county in the game. Galway now visit Pairc Seán on Sunday in a game which will have a 2pm throw-in.

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.

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.

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
Best of luck to the U-12 team who are playing in the Shane Brennan tournament in Clonguish on Saturday. First game at 4 and all players are asked to assemble from 3pm.
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.

A good victory for the Senior team on Saturday evening in Drumcong against Kiltubrid. A David O Connor goal midway through the second half was the crucial score. We now have only one game left in the league against Carrigallen on Sunday next at 2pm in Dromod.

U-21 Training continues for all players on Friday nights. Attendance has been mixed thus far, but we hope to see a significant improvement before the competition commences in November.
Best Wishes
Everyone in Bornacoola send their best wishes to club player, set dancer and all round entertainer John “Barnes” Shanley and his bride to be Louise Crowe from Dromod who will be getting married on Saturday next. No doubt you will both have a great and many years of happiness together.
Ladies Football
The Ladies play St Mary’s on Sunday in their biggest game of the season. The girls have been training hard all year for a crack at championship glory and we wish them all the best in a game which takes place in Fenagh at 12pm. Preparations were helped last weekend when the girls played their final league game against Ballinaglera. An excellent display from Bornacoola, and in particular from Michelle Reilly in goals, ended in disappointment as Ballinaglera stole victory with a point in injury time. Nonetheless there was much to enthuse about from a Bornacoola perspective and we hope there will be big support for the girls for Sunday’s crucial game. Ádh mór oraibh

Minor Championship
The Minor team rounded off a great year for themselves at this level when they played Drumkeerin in the championship final in Carrick on Friday evening last. In what was a very close game, the crucial score was a goal punched to the net by Paul Hackett which sealed a two point victory for the Bors as captain Feargal Howard collected the trophy on behalf of his team mates. Our congratulations to all of the boys involved and also to mentors Jackie Conboy and Brian Mallon for their hard work throughout the year.
The team in the final was: Damian Moran, Sean Ryan, Conor Mc Cauley, Mervyn Howard, Damian Mc Gowan, Kevin Canning, Niall O Connor, Paul Hackett, David Mulligan, Feargal Howard, Sean Mc Keon, Allan Croghan and Declan Shanley. Subs were Harry Cumiskey and Darren Mc Gushin
County Final
Our congratulations to Drumreilly and St Mary’s on their championship wins at the weekend and we wish them both well as they represent Leitrim in the Connacht Championships. In our semi-final defeat to Kiltubrid, defenders Damian Mc Guinness and Daniel Canning suffered injuries which may keep them out of the game for some time. 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.

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.

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.

On duty for Bornacoola were: Ollie Vaughan, Gerald Moffatt, Seamus Mallon, Christy Bohan, Brendan Duignan, Brian Mallon, John Reynolds, Niall O Connor, Robbie Moran, Feargal Howard, Sean Mc Keon, Paul Hackett, Damian Mc Gowan, Niall Mc Gowan and John Bohan, Sub used: Seoirse Reynolds
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.
Junior C Championship
The Junior C Championship kicks off on Saturday when we play St Osnatt’s in Leitrim Gaels new ground at 6pm.
Ladies News
Hard luck to the U-14 girls team who were beaten by Fenagh last week. Meanwhile the ladies senior teams were rewarded for all their hard work of late with an excellent victory over St Mary’s at the weekend.
U-12 Team
The U-12 team continued their good form of late when they defeated Fenagh on Friday evening last.
