Senior Championship
Two late scores denied us our second victory in the Championship on Saturday evening, but a draw was a fair result in Cloone. John Mc Guinness scored a fine goal to leave Bornacoola ahead at the interval but a second half penalty for St Caillin’s brought them back into the game and ensured the scores were tied at 1-11 each at the final whistle.
We have now qualified for the quarter finals and await the outcome of the Aughawillan/Manorhamilton group to see who our opponents will be.
The team on Saturday was: Feargal Mc Gill, Damian Mc Guinness, Morgan Shanley, Jason Conroy, Daniel Canning, John Mc Guinness (1-0), Shane Conroy, Michael Duignan (0-1), Gary Mc Closkey, Mark Mc Closkey (0-4), Colm Farrell (0-1), Trevor Howard (0-1), Brian Conroy (0-3), David O Connor (0-1) and Seamus Mallon.

Junior A Championship
An excellent performance from the Junior team on Sunday came up just short against Melvin Gaels and we had to settle for a draw in a game we probably should have won.

Retirement

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.

The U-14 team continue to improve and recorded their third league win on Friday last when they beat Cloone on a scoreline of 3-8 to 3-5 with the help of two goals from Anthony Mulligan and one from Daniel Farrell.
The panel involved included Daniel Farrell (1-0), Tony Shanley, Roy Keenan, John Hackett, Harry Cumiskey, Kevin Canning (0-2), Kevin Shanley (0-3), Anthony Mulligan (2-3), Conor Hackett, Mark Muldowney, Ciaran Campbell. Barry Reid and Liam Mulligan.
The boys have been playing excellent football and our congratulations to them on their recent good form.
Club Draw
The Club Draw takes place on Sunday night next in the Weir Lodge Rooskey.
The Return of the DiggerMan
The Diggerman, occasionally known as Derek Duignan has returned to Bornacoola for a couple of weeks from Australia where he has been “working” for the last two years. Good to see him back with a new head of hair and we might even get him to a training session or two before his return. Sister Orla gets married on Thursday and we send our best wishes to her and Australian husband to be Mark Harrington for long life and happiness together.
Féile
The Connacht Féile is taking place on June 10th and the Bornacoola club and grounds will host four visiting teams. Among the highlights of the day will be the parade in Carrick-on-Shannon on the morning of the 10th in which we will be participating
Bon Voyage
Our best wishes to club stalwart and occasional Division 5 star Michael Patrick Stenson who takes up a new position with the Irish Embassy in Moscow for the next twelve months. Son of Brendan and Maureen (Cloonturk) Michael’s appointment is a major honour for himself, his family and the parish and we have no doubt that he will thrive in his new surrounds. If you hear of “Moscow Gaels” changing colours to the Black and Amber, you’ll know who to blame! Gach dea-ghuí ort a Mhichíl ó gach éinne a bhfuil baint acu leis an gclub.
Ladies
The Ladies team were beaten in the league by Glencar/Manorhamilton at the weekend
Seamus Canning RIP
All at the club would like to extend their sympathy to the Canning family (Mohill) on the sad passing of Seamus last week. A great supporter of the Bors throughout his life, many’s the Championship victory went into overtime in the Faul Inn during Seamus’ stewardship of the establishment. Ar Dheis Dé go raibh a Anam.
