On Sunday last a cheque was presented to the Cavan Branch of SOSAD to the value of €4602 from Ballinagh GAA and Ballinagh Cycle after the hugely successful BUSFAS Championships and Charity Cycle on St. Stephen's Day. Huge credit must go to everybody who organised, partook, helped out and donated to these events. SOSAD is a charity that is so close to our hearts and it means a lot that the whole community can come out and give it the support it deserves.

Commiserations to the Cavan ladies as they were narrowly beaten by 2 points in their opening League fixture against Westmeath.
