East Cavan Gaels GAA Club – Hurling News 22nd October 2018
Under 7/9/11;
Due to the extended season for the U13/15/17s and adult sides indoor hurling will be postponed until we get these lads finished. Foundation hurling award coming up. See below. All will receive a text when we are ready to go.
Under 13;
The next round of Ulster blitzes is in 2 weeks in Carrick.
Under 15;
The U15 squad who went so close on Wednesday last.
Cavan U15 Championship Final
Cootehill 4-12
East Cavan Gaels 4-10.
So, so, so close to the breakthrough. Fantastic performances all over the field by the entire squad. Could not give or do anymore on a night where in reality our lads were the better side for the most part but Cootehill had enough to get over the line. Sometimes we don’t know which is harder to take, the clippings we got in the early years, where we were sent home with tail between our legs, or, like the past 3 years where there has only been literally a puck of the ball between us. But …… we come back, we always do, bigger, stronger and more determined than ever. These lads will be back and you can be sure and when we win our first Senior title in the years ahead most of these lads will be on the team that does it and you can quote us on that.
Chin up lads. There’s more ahead. Ye know yiz are good. Stick with the project and the medals will come, we are sure of it.
Well done to all and Kathryn and Pat management and Colin, Ben and Willie who worked with the younger lads who’ve graduated up to this side.
Senior;
The rescheduled final round of the Senior Championship takes place this Saturday 5.30 v Cootehill on the 3G.
