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.

The team that captured the Connacht title on Wednesday feature Aiden and Marie Therese Dochery along with Liam Rabbitte and Evelyn Reynolds, while Cyril Staunton and Padraig Duffy were on the team that triumphed earlier in the county final.
I think St Patrick ’s Day will surely be the first occasion that a team from Bornacoola has featured on All Ireland day in Croke Park and we’d like to wish them all the best in their quest for national glory.

The cost will be EUR5 and if you are intending to travel you are asked to give your name to either Shane Reynolds (087 9751993) or Feargal Mc Gill (087 2897608). The County final will get underway at 7.30pm.

Both the 1st and 2nd teams enjoyed useful challenges at the weekend against Kilmore and Eslin respectively. Our thanks to these clubs for travelling to Dromod for the games. The Intermediate league gets underway on Sunday next and Bornacoola have a home game in Dromod against Sean O Heislins with a 12.30pm throw-in.

Ladies Training
Ladies training is continuing on Wednesday evenings under Peter Mallon and Sean Mc Gowan. Last week, we forgot to mention that Gillian Duignan was named as the Ladies Player of the Year at the Dinner Dance. 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.

The February Club draw takes place this Saturday night in Peter Reynolds' in Rooskey.
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.

Ladies Matters
The Ladies team have been placed in Division 2 of the league for 2006 alongside Annaduff, Ballinaglera, Manorhamilton, St Joseph’s and St Marys. At Convention, Bornacoola’s Patricia Bohan was returned as PRO, while sister Orla takes on the role of Assistant Treasurer
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.

Sympathy:
We would like to extend the sympathy of everyone at the club to
the McGill family on the untimely passing on Sunday evening of
Cormac after a brave battle with illness. Cormac's involvement
with the club stretches back many years at different levels and
has also given great service at county level particularly at
Scór.
As the local correspondent of the Longford Leader and
Leitrim Observer, Cormac gave great coverage to Gaelic football
in Leitrim. A proud Donegal man who never forgot his roots, he
was known as 'The Follower' throughout his native county for his
weekly GAA article in the Donegal Democrat.
Cormac has also bequeathed a rich musical legacy to the area through the school
and his work with the choir. He was also a strong advocate on
the local Tidy Towns committee. Through his involvement with the
GAA and his writing, Cormac is known throughout the country and
his loss is keenly felt by all in Bornacoola and beyond.
Sincere
sympathy is extended to his wife Mary, son Feargal and daughters
Nessa and Ailbhe. Removal is this evening (Wed) at 7 to Annaduff

Under 16 Football Champioship Final:
We played Drumreilly in the 13-aside Under 16 championship Final
on Saturday in Cloone. We played with the aid of a strong breeze
in the first half and lead 1-7 to 1-2 at the break. During the
first half our scores came from Fergal Howard 0-6, Conor
McCawley 0-1 from a 50, and Declan Shanley 1-0.
Drumreilly performed very well in the first half scoring 1-2 against the
breeze leaving them in an excellent position for the second half
when playing with the breeze. Drumreilly opened the second half
with two quick points and looked to have the advantage as the
lads initially struggled against the strong breeze.
However playing their best football of the season the lads put in a
blistering final 20 minutes scoring 2-5 to Drumreillys 1-3.
Declan Shanley and Mervin Howard scored our goals in the second
half.
In the second half all players put their shoulder to the
wheel and this was an excellent team performance to capture the
title.
This marks the end of a wonderful year for the Under 16
team who captured the league earlier in the year. The team and
management would like to thank Derek Hunt of the Copper Still
for the meal after the game and Brian Blake who videoed the
final.
Jackie and Brian would like to take this opportunity to thank

Senior League
We played Gortletteragh in our second game in the second series of the league in Dromod on Sunday and a return to form saw us emerge with a four point victory in a lively game on a scoreline of 0-13 to 0-9 despite missing a number of regulars.
The players on duty on Sunday were: Feargal Mc Gill, Damian Mc Guinness, Seamus Mallon, John Mc Guinness, Shane Conroy, Jason Conroy, Richard Bohan, Michael Duignan (0-2), Gary Mc Closkey, Mark Mc Closkey (0-5), Bobby Shanley, Philip Howard, Brian Mallon (0-1), Colm Farrell (0-2) and Brian Conroy (0-3).
Subs used were Daniel Canning, Michael John Winters and Niall Mc Gowan.
We have two games remaining in this section of the league and two wins would more than likely earn us a league final appearance. The games are against St Marys on Saturday evening next in Dromod at 5pm and on Saturday week (22nd) away to Kiltubrid (4.30pm).
Cairde Barr na Cúille
The Cairde Barr na Cúille draw will take place on Saturday night, November 19th in the Copper Still. First prize is EUR2,000 with second prize of EUR600 and third prize of EUR400.
This was a supporter’s initiative limited to 50 memberships at a cost of EUR200 each. Our thanks to all who supported this and we look forward to seeing you all in the Copper on the night of the draw.
Minor League
Our minor team completed the league and championship double when they overcame Eslin by six points on Saturday morning last in Cloone. Played in good weather conditions we started strongly and held a 5 point lead at halftime on a scoreline of Bornacoola 0-6 to Eslin 0-1 with Sean Mc Keon, Fergal Howard and Oliver Vaughan supplying the Bornacoola scores.
Eslin started the second half brightly with a few early scores, but midway through the second half a fine Bornacoola move was finished to the Eslin net by fullback Conor Mc Cauley. This was the crucial score of the game and we held out to win by 6 points 1-8 to 0-5.
This win capped off a great year at this level and much credit must be given to all the panel of players who trained very hard all year for this success. We would like to commiserate with Eslin who played very good football throughout the game and no doubt they will be back.
The management and players would like to say a big thank you to TP Cox & Staff of Coxs Steakhouse for the lovely meal provided after the game.
At this stage we wish David O Connor a speedy recovery from injury sustained playing in a College game during the week, no doubt if fit he would have played a big part in the Final.
The team & scorers versus Eslin was; Daragh Gavigan, Niall O Connor, Conor Mc Cauley (1-0), Damian Mc Gowan, Jason Conroy, Fergal Howard (0-2), Oliver Vaughan (0-1), Sean Mc Keon (0-4), Declan Shanley (0-1). Subs; Stephen Reilly, Mervyn Howard, Paul Mc Gushin, Sean Ryan, Paul Hackett.

County Hurling Final
Seamus Mallon was our sole representative on the Gaeil an Chontae team that played St Marys in the county hurling final on Sunday last but he gave a terrific performance in the middle of the field to earn the Man of the Match award.
Brendan Duignan and Brian and Shane Conroy were on the subs bench for the amalgamation who were defeated by 2-10 to 1-7.

Best Wishes
We’d like to extend our best wishes to Dermot Shanley who is heading off travelling for the year. Dermot has been one of the club’s most loyal servants over the last number of years. He had a glittering underage career that included a county U21 championship medal and featured regularly at senior level in recent years as well as captaining the Intermediate team in 2005.
No doubt Dermot will return to assist the club in future campaigns, but for the moment we say goodbye to a great servant.
