Terry Coyle Park Development/Friends of Cavan Gaels

Work is well advanced on our new development in Terry Coyle Park. Our new shop and turnstiles are already in operation. Thanks to all those who have already supported our development through becoming Friends of Cavan Gaels. The money from this source along with our Sports' Capital Grant has enabled us to proceed with the building. We urge others who have not joined so far to consider signing up in the knowledge that, by so doing, they will be making a significant contribution, not only to the Terry Coyle Park development, but to the long term development of our young boys and girls.

Bréifne League

Our seniors met Castlerahan in the Breifne League in Terry Coyle Park on Sunday last. Both sides were short some regulars. This was a game dominated by the strong wind. We had the wind's benefit in the first half and were six points up at half-time. But Castlerahan made an impressive start to the second half and continued to erode our lead. They ended up deserving winners by a four point margin.

Well done to our u16 girls who defeated Kingscourt in Terry Coyle Park recently.
