The sympathies of the club are extended to the Farrell family in Cloncolory on the sad passing of Rosie Farrell on Thursday last. The Farrell’s have been involved in the Bornacoola GAA club for many years. Predeceased by her husband Paddy, we extend our sympathies to her children Pat, Christy, Tom, Sean, Peter, Michael, Mary and Bernadette, her sister Margaret as well as all her extended family and friends.
