Cavan Under 21s
Congratulations to Enda Flanagan, Fergal Reilly and the Cavan U21 team and management on clinching their fourth consecutive Ulster championship title in a thrilling comeback over Donegal at the Athletic Grounds in Armagh last Wednesday night - a remarkable achievement. The team go on to meet Dublin in the All-Ireland semi-final on Saturday at 4.45pm in Portlaoise.

Leinster Junior C
Well done to Keith Fitzsimons and his St. Oliver Post Primary school team mates on their 3-14 to 0-08 victory over Mountmellick Community School in the Leinster Junior C Football Championship last Tuesday evening.

Annual draw
The April draw will take place at the club executive meeting pn Wednesday evening. All card holders are requested to have instalments returned to Noeleen Smith in advance of the meeting at 8.30pm.

Victor's Dung
The club will host Seamus O'Rourke's "Victor's Dung" play on Saturday, 24 May at 8.30pm in St. Joseph's Hall. Victor's Dung is the comic tale of Victor Maguire (played by O'Rourke), a crude un-PC Cavan farmer. Set in a farmyard, the play takes the audience on a whirlwind tour through Victor's sad and somewhat unconventional life, meeting up with many a strange bucko along the way! Tickets, €10, are available in Ballyjamesduff Post Office, Credit Union or Slowey's Hardware, or by calling (087) 220 6704.

Golf Classic
The club will host a golf classic on Saturday, 3rd and Sunday, 4th of May at Crover House Golf & Country Club. All members are asked to support this event. Team of 4 costs €100.

Blood donation clinic
The Irish Blood Transfusion Service held a blood donation clinic in St. Joseph's Hall on Thursday last and it was great to see a strong turn out of club players and members. On average, 90-95 donations are received at the Ballyjamesduff clinic, but over 130 were received on Thursday.

Senior
The senior league game v Ramor United, scheduled to be played on Sunday afternoon in Ballyjamesduff, was postponed following Cavan's progression in the U21 competition. The next round of the ACFL throws in on Sunday at 4pm in Ballyjamesduff when we will host Cavan Gaels.

Reserve
Similarly, the reserve ACFL was also cancelled last Sunday. There will be no game for the reserves next Sunday as Cavan Gaels' second team does not compete in the reserve league.

Our U8 and U10 footballers will partake in a coaching session being offered by some of the coaches from the county board on Monday afternoon in Fay Park from 2 to 4pm.

Eight hurling coaches attended a coaching workshop conducted by Paul Divilly, Regional Hurling Development Officer for Cavan and Fermanagh, on Tuesday evening last and found it very beneficial.

Castlerahan-Denn Ladies
