Senior League Division 1A

Our seniors travelled to Ballyjamesduff on Sunday morning last and came away with a draw. With the help of the wind we raced into a seven point lead at half time. The home side rallied but the Gaels who were still three points ahead going into injury time conceded a goal at the death. Well done to the players and management.

Sympathy

Cavan Gaels would like to extend its sympathy to the family of Sarah Doonan, Fairview on her recent death. Sarah was the mother of James Doonan who starred on Cavan Gaels' teams for many years at all under-age levels and at senior level culminating in his captaining his club to a senior championship victory over Mullahoran in 2003. Sarah's late husband Hughie played for Cavan Harps and Cavan Gaels and was a brother of Willie who played for Cavan Harps and Cavan Slashers and managed Cavan Gaels on his return from England.

Club Volunteers in action!!

A sincere thank you to all our club volunteers- current players, executive members, some club coaching staff and other members- who all are putting their painting skills at the disposal of the club in order to expedite the development of the inside of our new complex. This is a very welcome development. Hopefully members with other necessary skill sets will follow the example of the painters and will volunteer their services if called upon in the certain knowledge that in doing so they are making an invaluable contribution to the development of the complex and to their club. Thanks to Niall O Riordan, Cavan Gaels Development Officer, who is coordinating all the club voluntary effort. 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.
