Around Bornacoola

Bornacoola has GAA/LGFA activity, All Stars and a club grounds public-service role. The club's own 2026 fixture listing shows Bornacoola beating Glenfarne/Kilty 4-16 to 1-8 at Kilglass on 20 June, losing narrowly away to Aughavas by 0-15 to 0-13 on 21 June, then listing Aughnasheelin away at 7pm on 4 July and Carrigallen at Kilglass at 7pm on 11 July. The county support-centres list names Bornacoola GAA Club, N41 CC67, with phone charging, hot water, kitchen, showers, toilets and seating for 50. Bornacoola GAA All Stars kicked off its 2026 season on 24 May at 9.30am on the AstroTurf for preschool and primary-school children. Mothers & Others, girls' football, school fundraising, youth club, Community Games and Annaduff/Dromod links sit around the weekly club rhythm. The club's own June note adds a pub-and-shop fundraising trail: the 50/50 draw was listed for Sunday 28 June in The Copper Still with a guaranteed EUR2,000 minimum jackpot, and tickets available in McGuire's in Rooskey, Hunts Supermarket, The Copper Still and online. The same update recorded the junior team travelling to Aughavas and losing a tight reserve-league game by 0-15 to 0-13. Recent club notices add the human side around that: the weekly update put the Glenfarne/Kiltyclogher win beside upcoming Aughnasheelin and Carrigallen games, while the ladies section noted Bornacoola players in Mohill-area Community Games teams and the Mothers & Others team at the Connacht blitz in Castlebar. Lough Rynn Harvest Festival & Vintage Day was also shared locally for Sunday 6 September 2026, keeping Bornacoola tied to football, draw nights, shop counters, The Copper Still and the wider Lough Rynn diary.
