Lanesboro Ballyleague notes

Lanesborough/Ballyleague Twinning Association
Following the meeting last week it is all systems go with the community of Lanesboro/Ballyleague to twin with the community of Inguiniel in Brittany, France. The meeting was well supported by clubs and associations and it is wonderful to feel that our community will be invigorated with an exciting build up to the twinning both here and in Inguiniel
The people of Inguiniel are already committed to establishing such a relationship with Lanesboro Ballyleague. Inguiniel is a community similar in size to our own, situated in the region of Brittany in North West France.

In the lead up we will need the full support of our community to create an atmosphere of welcome to Lanesboro and Ballyleague. There will also be a couple of fundraising events in the coming weeks and months and we will ask of your fullest support. 

Former local resident dies

It was with a great sadness I learned of the death in Watford, England on Thursday 8th February of Jimmy Hurson, The Green. Jimmy was a regular visitor back to his native sod and was always delighted to meet and chat with locals recalling the memories of growing up in Lanesboro. Jimmy, an Instrumental Electrician began his working career with Bord na Mona before moving on to run successful businesses. He was predeceased by his parents, Mick and Bridget, his wife Phil and sister Bridie. Jimmy is survived by his wife Norma, and family Mark, Brian and Suzanne, his sister Rosemary, brothers Mickie and John and extended family to whom we extend our deepest sympathy.

St. Patrick’s Day Parade and Launch

The official launch of the Lanesboro Ballyleague St. Patrick’s Day Parade will take place in Clarke’s Bar on Friday night next 1st march at 8.30pm.

With St. Patrick’s Day only a few weeks away it is time for our focus to turn to the St. Patrick’s Day Parade. Individuals, clubs, organisations and businesses with their creative skills are the mainstay of a wonderful parade that has been happening in our community for the past number of years.

Pedestrian Crossing

It was great to see on Thursday last the final part of the new pedestrian crossing been completed. The yellow lights are now flashing creating an awareness of the crossing and there are also two new overhead street lights over the crossing.

Considering the amount of continuous traffic through the town I feel it would be very beneficial to have signs on all approach roads, warning drivers and creating the awareness of the new pedestrian crossing.

Death

It was with great sadness we learned of the death on Saturday 10th February at the Sacred Heart Hospital, Roscommon of Elizabeth Hensey, Weekfield. Elizabeth originally from the neighbouring townsland of Lisnaria was predeceased by her husband Sean almost 6 years ago, her parents Paddy and Bridie and her sister Kathleen. A number of years ago along with Sean she returned from Dublin with their family to her own local community. She was a quiet lady with a great heart. Elizabeth was a real mother who dedicated herself to her family. She will be sadly missed by her neighbours and friends and by her daughter Carmel.

Elizabeth remains reposed at Smyth’s Funeral Home followed by removal to the Church of the Holy Rosary, Ballyleague. She was laid to rest in Cloontuskert Cemetery following Mass of the Resurrection in the Church of the Holy Rosary. To her daughter Carmel, grandsons Dominic and Luke, sisters Bridie, Marion and Carmel, brothers Sean and Padraic, aunt Lucy, relatives and friends we extend our sincere sympathy.

Lough Ree Athletic Club

The wonderful Indoor Athletic Arena at TUS Athlone hosted the U12, 13, 14 Connaught Indoor Championships on Saturday. This event attracted 1,233 entries from 616 athletes. Lough Ree had athletes competing across a range of events.
For some of our members it was their first experience of a major event and given the numbers competing, all performed well. Special thanks to James and Paudie Murray (both U11) who at short notice joined the Boys U12 relay team, it was their first competition both ran well and then went on to play a soccer match for Ballyboro afterwards. Thanks to their families also.
Tadhg Shea U12 competed in 3 events, Relay, 60m and 600m where he was extremely unlucky not to qualify for the All-Ireland Finals by 0.35 of a second.  Well done also to Hugh Creedon who competed in Long Jump and 600m where he recorded a personal best time.
Performance of the day, was Andrew Nolan’s U13 Shot Putt Championship throw of 14.30 meters, a new Connacht record. Congrats Andrew, all your hard work is paying off.
Well done also to Longford Athletic Club for being top of the medal table after day one.

Former resident passes away

It is very regrettable to learn of the death in the care of Roscommon Hospice of one of our former residents Ben Balfe on Monday 19th February. Ben lived in Killerney on the outskirts of Roscommon Town. He was predeceased by his father John, mother Catherine and infant brother Gerard. He was a trained mechanic and was renowned for his excellence at his trade. He worked for many years at his father’s garage business before working at Westward in Strokestown. There are many happy memories of growing up with Ben in Lanesboro when he lived in Knock and in particular his good nature and kindness. His death brought great sadness to our vintage from the area, his family and to his many friends. Ben reposed in Smyth’s Funeral Home before his removal to the Sacred Heart Church, Roscommon. His Funeral Mass took place on Thursday before he was then laid to rest in St. Coman’s Cemetery, Roscommon.
