Intermediate Championship

Our intermediate team earned their first point of the 2026 campaign when drawing with Annaduff in an exciting Round 3 game played in front of a large attendance in Mohill on Saturday evening last. Annaduff raced into a 0-7 to 0-1 lead in the early stages of the game but once reduced to 14 men, it was the Bors who began to exert their dominance and by half time the sides were level at nine points apiece. The second half was hugely entertaining with both sides enjoying periods of scoreboard dominance. A goal for Annaduff six minutes from full time put them two points clear and looked a decisive moment. However the Bors again rallied and in an exciting finish, neither side could deliver the knock out blow as the game finished level 1-17 to 0-20. The Bornacoola team on duty was Daniel Farrell, Brian Duffy, Jake Shiels, John Mc Garry, Allan Croghan, Kevin Mulligan, Sean O Riordan, Damian Moran, Anthony Mulligan, Liam Jones, Cian Mallon, Keelan Lyons, Ronan Mulligan, Robert O Beirne and Conor Reynolds. Subs used: Shane Mallon, Jonathan Boyle, Kian Mc Cormack, Sean Muldowney, Mervyn Howard. Our final group game is a must win tie against Dormahair on Sunday week in Kilglass. 

Junior B Championship 

Our second team bounced back from their opening round defeat with an excellent display and result against Gortletteragh on Sunday afternoon last. Leading by five points at the interval (0-9 to 0-4) the Bors had to withstand a strong second half comeback from the hosts, but held out for a two point victory on a 0-15 to 1-10 scoreline. Next up is a home tie against Glenacar/Manor in Kilglass on Sunday, Sept 20th at 1pm. Team on duty: Shane Conroy, Brian Duffy, Damian Mc Guinness, Oisín Maguire, Brian Conroy, Mervyn Howard, Liam Mulligan, Kian Mc Cormack (0-1), Ollie Vaughan, Gearoid Mulligan, Marc Mc Keon, Jonathan Boyle (0-4) Robert O Beirne (0-2), Shane Mallon (0-6) and Alan Bohan. Subs: Jack Naughton, Enda Mc Goldrick, Jonathan Duffy, Kevin Shanley and Aidan Reilly. Our best wishes for a speedy recovery to the Gortletteragh player who was injured during the game on Sunday and taken away for medical treatment.

Ladies News 

Our ladies team continued their championship campaign on Sunday evening last when they played Keeldra Gaels. The week-on-week improvements in this group of players were again obvious on Sunday as they delivered a very competitive first half showing to trail by just 5 points at the interval, 1-8 to 1-3. The Gaels were clearly the more impressive team in the second half and eventually enjoyed a comfortable victory but again there was much to enthuse about in a committed Bornacoola performance.
