Leanne put in a ‘Player of the Match’ performance and to cap it all, she scored her first Senior International goal to give the Republic a 2—1 win!

East Cavan Gaels GAA Hurling Club
2016 Hurler of the Year Jack Barry
Incredible news that our own Jack Barry was first of all nominated but then went on to win Cavan Hurler of the year at the Sheridan Insurances award night on Friday last. A great individual award for Jack, who is still U16, for his consistent outstanding performances in the Celtic Challenge U17 inter-county competition for Cavan, picking up numerous player of the game awards along the way as well as great performances in the Cavan U16 championship, Ulster U16 league and Ulster minor league.
A first individual playing award to an East Cavan Gaels player also. Everyone in the club is rightly proud of this great achievement.
Well done Jack.
