Bailieboro Celtic girls end of season pizza party and presentation:
This fantastic group of girls ranging in age from 8 to 14 have put in a huge amount of hard work over the past season, forging friendships, progressing their football skills and developing a strong team camaraderie.
Progressing from fielding just one U13 team last season, to teams at U12 and U14 this season, girls soccer in Bailieboro is most definitely on the rise. This season, we’ve had 4 girls representing the club and CMUL at ETP level and beyond;
Michaela Burke U12 ETP, Lucie Gibson and Sophie Holland U13 ETP, Grace McKeown and Lucie Gibson U14 ETP and Lucie Gibson North Eastern Centre of Excellence.
With the womens World Cup on the horizon, the popularity of girls soccer is at an all time high.
For any girls, aged 9 and upwards interested in giving it a go, our preseason will be kicking off in August, all details will be posted on the club’s Facebook page.
Finally, in order to continue to give these girls the opportunity to nurture and develop their love for soccer, we need more coaches and helpers. Please contact our club Facebook page if you can spare even 1 hour per week.

We have been selected as one of the Charities in the Tesco Store.
We are currently fund raising to buy 2 new defibrillators to replace the current defibrillators at Day Break and The Carry Out.
Please support this Tesco Token Collection.
Ten years ago, Bailieborough Red Cross supplied two public access defibrillators and heated wall mounted cases. As these machines are now at the end of their useful lives and spares and servicing are no longer available, they need to be replaced. The Tesco Community Funds will help add to our fundraising efforts.

East Cavan Gaels GAA Club – Hurling News 19th June 2023:
Seniors;
CuChulainn League Rd. 2.St.Malachys, Portadown 2-14, East Cavan Gaels 3-21
Balmy conditions in Portadown as our lads made the long, but fruitful trip to the Orchard county to take on the hosts who pushed us to the limit in last years encounter and Wednesdays game was no different. Although we were never headed over the hour the hosts put some real pressure on especially in the third quarter when legs began to get weary in the heat. A rejigged squad gave player/manager Adam Baldwin the opportunity to run the rule over his squad as the Championship comes into view later in the summer but this is a competition that we want to be successful in. Again Dave Higgins performed well in goal and with a rebuilt full back line led by Tadhg Barry with the ever dependable Gary Leddy in one corner and Sean Walsh giving a good performance in his first start in the other corner. The experience of Baldwin and Derek Argue in the half back line was crucial as the more dangerous and creative players on the hosts side were in the half forward line which made for an energy sapping evening but with Jack McGuinness making himself available on the other wing to link up well further up the field. Callum Shiel moved from the “40” into the heat of the midfield and his physicality opened up opportunities for Nicky Kenny to operate at his best with both linking up well with Canice Maher to create a lot of scoring opportunities. Conor Walsh and James Tully brought great youthful speed to the half forward line with Daire Leddy, carrying a knock, still supporting Philip Duffy and the marauding Rory Farrell who’s speed and attacking ability caused the opponents all matter of bother for the entire hour. Both Killian O’Donougue and Caolain O’Reilly made substantial link up play from the bench. All in all another satisfactory nights work and with a few more players to return to the squad the competition for places will heat up.
Special mention to our hosts who were most gracious on the field and afterwards with their kind hospitality with tea and sandwiches.
And thanks to Jayden Gaughan and Shane Kelly who kept the water flowing to the players on what was a very warm evening for hurling.
