Ramor United GFC would like to call attention to the recent publication by George Cartwright entitled 'Breifne Abu'. This 365 page tome is the definitive chronicle on Cavan GAA from 1886 to 2011 and contains an incredible catalogue of facts,figures, scores, teams etc during the period. The favourable mention it has received from both local and national media is well merited and it is unlikely that its equal could be found in any other county in Ireland. This is essential reading for any GAA historian and will no doubt settle many a football argument in the years to come. The book is available in all good bookshops including By The Book in Virginia Shopping Centre. Congratulations to George for his success in this pain staking endeavour and we would encourage our members to purchase this unique record.
