WELL DONE BORRIS-ILEIGH GAA CLUB

Congratulations to our GAA club on organising two very successful events in the last two weeks.

Firstly they had their Strictly Come Dancing with all local and very talented dancers.

Last Saturday night the Tumbling Paddies took to the stage. It's proving that the GAA Complex is a great facility and we wish our local lads continued success on and off the field.

END OF AN ERA

It was the end of an era last Friday as our postmistress Mary Costello closed the door of the post office for the last time. The Costello family had operated the Post Office in Borrisoleigh for a number of generations.

We would all like to wish Mary well in her retirement and say a big thank you for everything you did in helping out the people of the community.
