Division 1A

We met Kingscourt in the senior league on Sunday morning last. From the start the visitors were more motivated and soon raced into a lead which they never relinquished. We had our purple patches but did not consistently sustain our efforts.

Under-16

Our under-16s hosted Southern Gaels (Lacken-Gowna) on Thursday last in the championship. This was a well-contested game. We were hampered by the absence of a number of key players. The visitors ended up deserving winners.

Girls' Football

Congratulations to our under-13s who recently kept up their winning ways by defeating Drumgoon at home and Killeshandra away. Comhghairdeas.

We played Butlersbridge on Monday last and after a very competitive game they emerged victorious. Well done to all our players for their commendable endeavours.

Goalkeeping Camp

A goalkeeping camp took place in Terry Coyle Park recently, facilitated by the current Tyrone goalkeeper Niall Morgan. The clinic covered the following: warm-up, positioning, handling, kicking, shot stopping and all the other roles of a modern goalkeeping. That includes free-taking! The first camp took place from 10am-12 and the second from 1pm-3. Over thirty goalkeepers took part in the camp and they were very impressed by the camp contents provided by Niall Morgan.

Sympathy

Our sympathy is extended to the wife and son of Alan Coyle and to the extended Coyle family on the recent sudden death of the former Cavan Gaels player. Alan was a gifted gaelic footballer whose displays adorned many of the Cavan and Ulster GAA playing fields in the nineties. He lined out with Cavan Gaels teams which won the following under-age titles in an unprecedented successful era for the club: Community Games All-Ireland winners 1992; under-12: 1994,1995; under-13: 1996; under-14 league: 1995,1996,1997; under-14 championship: 1997; All-Ireland Féile na nÓg: 1996 in Mayo and 1997 in Donegal; under-16 league: 1997, 1998, 1999; Under-16 championship: 1998, 1999; minor championship: 1999. Ar dheis lámh Dé go raibh a anam uasal.
