Bornacoola GAA Club Notes 26/03/2018

This is Your Life – This Easter Saturday night in  Lough Rynn we are holding our “This is your Life” evening. A great response to ticket sales so far so thank you to everyone who has purchased to date; there are still tickets remaining which can be purchased on the night for just €10.  Compere for the occasion is the fantastic Tommy Moran. Cheese and wine reception, music and a raffle on the night should complete a great social occasion for the parish.

Swan Bar Division 4 – The Juniors made it three wins out of three but were made to fight all the way by a gallant Aughavas in a hugely entertaining game of football played in Aughavas on Saturday night last. In the end goals from Danny Farrell and Roy Keenan in either half proved decisive but it still took a late late winner from cornerback Kevin Mulligan to seal a 2-13 to 1-15 victory.
