CORNAFEAN CLUB NOTES
Breffni All Stars - Well done to Barry Doyle on being chosen for the 2015 Breffni All Stars team of the year. Barry had an outstanding summer for the Reds culminating in a great performance in Breffni Park against Templeport in the Junior Final when he kicked eight glorious points. Please support Barry and his family at the Breffni All Stars Awards Banquet to be held in the Hotel Kilmore on this Friday night 20th November 2015.

CAVAN LADIES CELEBRATION
A celebration of Cavan Ladies Football will take place in Crover House Hotel on Saturday night 28th November with special guests the 2015 U14 All Ireland winning team and management. Two Cornafean ladies Deirbhile McCaffrey and Aine Brady will be receiving their Ulster and All Ireland winners medals after a very successful 2015. Tickets for the gala event are available from Patricia King Lacken and Cavan Ladies Co. Board and all support for Deirbhile and Aine on the night would be appreciated.
Ladies sponsorship - On behalf of Cornafean Ladies Club a huge thank you to Art McSeain, McSeains Lounge, Cornafean and Rita Martin, Solicitor on their very generous sponsorship of new hoodies and t-shirts for all age groups within the club. The recently launched new Ladies club crescent will be on the new gear.
At the time of going to press there has been no confirmation of when and where the eagerly awaited promotion play off between Drung and Cornafean will take place but no doubt the county board will be fixing the match for sooner rather than later. Drung defeated the reds by one point in Kill on last Sunday week played in atrocious conditions but the team and management will be confident of overturning this result when they once again do battle for the prize of Division 2 football for 2016. Hard luck to the U21 team who where comprehensively beaten by Laragh in the championship on Saturday night on the 3G and also to the U16 ladies who also lost out in their Division 2 championship encounter against a very strong Lurgan squad.
