Sam meets his hero

“Education is simply the soul of a society as it passes from one generation to another”      

G.K. Chesterton

We received this absolutely fantastic photograph during the week of the late Tommy Mulcahy passing on his knowledge to an eager and young Sam O’Farrell. Tommy has gifted so many young people his knowledge, wisdom and love of Gaelic games and has helped ensure our sports will continue to prosper with the next generation. Tommy obviously told Sam something special here as he is developing into a fine hurler and Gaelic footballer. 

Some food for thought for all our mentors, parents and supporters

After a sad weekend for the club, here is this week’s news

 

Congratulations to Mark Carey and Borrisokane Community School

We extend our congratulations to Mark Carey and Borrisokane CC who captured the Masita GAA Post Primary Schools’ Michael Cusack Cup final on Saturday when they defeated Colaiste na Coiribhe in Duggan Park, Ballinasloe 1-22 to 1-12. This is a fantastic achievement for all involved and helps demonstrate the strength of underage hurling in North Tipperary.

Senior Hurling

Following last week’s loss to Loughmore Castleiney the senior hurlers got their league campaign back on track with a 2-18 to 1-10 win over Clonoulty Rossmore under lights on Friday evening in Clonoulty. Goals from Paddy Murphy and Tommy Heffernan helped propel the Blues to a fine win.

Our junior-A hurlers defeated Toomevara 1-18 to 2-8 in the opening round of the North Tipperary league on Sunday afternoon with Adam Healy having a fine game helping himself to a personal tally of 1-3. 

Junior-B Hurling

Our junior-B hurlers were comprehensively beaten by Portroe in the opening round of the league on Saturday, 3-23 to 0-4. We wish Thomas O’Brien and Liam Heffernan speedy recoveries from knocks they picked up in the game. 

Junior Football

Our junior footballers are back in league action next Sunday afternoon when Clerihan will visit MacDonagh Park for a 3pm throw in.

Under-14 Football

Saturday was a very emotional day for the club and in particular for our under-14s footballers who learned of the passing of their very first coach Tommy Mulcahy prior to their North final against Ballina. Both teams stood for a very emotional, poignant and respectful minute’s silence and the young Éire Óg men paid the ultimate tribute they possibly could to Tommy by capturing the Féile Peil title with panache and style adding to the to their Féile hurling title won on Monday last. The double within a week!

Our thanks go to a gallant Ballina team, referee Gareth Howard and his umpires and North BNG secretary Philip Delaney, who gave a touching speech about his memories from juvenile playing days of Tommy always being the first to greet teams at the dressing rooms. Team captain Sam O’Farrell, gave a wonderful speech and dedicated the win and trophy to his teams first coach Tommy. Well done to our boys. They are a credit to club and families.
