Soccer is one of the most popular sports on offer in Borris Vocational School. We offer boys and girls teams for 1st Years, u15, u17 and u19 levels.
Teams from the school have been competing in regional and Leinster competitions for over 3 decades. In that time there have been many appearances in League and Cup finals.
We hit a golden period between 2014 and 2019 with teams led by Mr. Tuite, Ms. Doyle and Mr. Smithers. This period included 3 Carlow/Kilkenny Runners up (2016, 2017, 2019) 3 Carlow/Kilkenny Titles (2015, 2016, 2017) 1 Leinster final runner-up (2016) and 1 u19 Leinster Title in 2017.
In our final season before Covid, our u19 team were well on their way to another Leinster final before the season was cut short.
There is a huge appetite for soccer in the school with clubs from the surrounding area such as Ballymurphy Celtic FC, Highview AFC and Bridge Utd supplying the majority of our players.
We are hoping for a very successful year again this year.
