Senior League 1A

Well done to our division 1A team who defeated Mullahoran by three points in Terry Coyle Park on Sunday last. Although both teams were short some regulars, the players provided some competitive fare for the attendance. The fact that the visitors had to play with fourteen men for much of the game tilted the balance in favour of the home team. There were some fine displays on both sides.

Division Three

Our youthful division three team found the going tough against the visiting Kildallan side on Sunday last. We got off to a decent start but the visitors gradually forged ahead and were well ahead at half time. Commendably we did rally for a while in the second half. Kildallan, however, finished strongly and ran out deserving winners.

Bingo

Our bingo supporters are asked to note that our bingo on Friday next 1 May will take place in the Farnham Arms Hotel carvery at 9pm. Please note the venue. Thanks to our bingo patrons for their consistent support and to all our stewards. Our club lotto is on sale at bingo every Friday night.

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.

Hard luck to our u14s who were defeated away to Killygarry on Thursday evening last in a high scoring game.
