East Cavan Gaels:East Cavan Gaels Hurling Club News 22nd July 2024:
Senior; Cavan SHC: Mullahoran St.Josephs 1-12, East Cavan Gaels 4-26.
The overhanging sense of frustration from last week’s Monaghan league final defeat seemed to drive the lads on,, in a thoroughly dominant display to defeat the hosts. Despite missing lads through injury the fifteen who started went full throttle from the first of James Clarkes whistles. Nicky Kenny made up for two early wides to put 1-1 on the board and from there the lads settled early and Liam O’Brien and Canice Maher with a 60 yard effort kept the scoreboard ticking over while some nice fluidity to the play set Rory Farrell up for his goal. The “middle eight” of Callum Shiel, Jack’s Barry and McGuinness, Maher, Conor Walsh, Adam Baldwin, Liam O’Brien and Colin Tormay were in the ascendancy, linking well with those in front Cian McEntee, Farrell and Kenny while being a constant outlet for keeper Gallagher, Sean Walsh, Philip Duffy and Gary Leddy to leave them well ahead at the break.
The resumption brought more of the same but the hosts did put some fine passages of play together to work some scores and the introduction of our subs at the three quarter mark coupled with tiring legs slowed but didn’t stop the scoring, Killian O’Donougue linking well with Kyle McGuinness a later highlight and the introduction of Cian O’Brien to make his Senior championship debut after years in the juvenile ranks with us was another highlight of the night.
All in all a good night’s work with no more injuries picked up as we await the return of our injured stars, as we come near the end of the Championship, the final of which is set for the Bank Holiday Sunday.
