Seamie’s Hair Cut

Last Saturday saw the local iconic figure of Seamie Sheridan getting his locks cut, in aid of the Bailieboro Cancer Care fund. This was a preliminary event to assist the Shamrocks Golf Society in their efforts to raise funds for the same cause in a Golf Classic on 16/17 September in Virginia.

Thanks goes to Rosa for getting the deed done and to all the staff at The Square bar for their assistance, to everyone who supported the event and contributed to the worthy cause and especially to Seamie who went along with the “off the cuff “ idea.

To date, over €1440 euro has been raised, showing how much the local community wanted to see Seamie come out from under all that “grey mass “he has been parading around in for some time. Contributions can still be made at The Square Bar or Hall’s Newsagent’s. Again Thank you to all involved for making the night such a success.

East Cavan Gaels GAA Club – Hurling News 5th September 2016

Under 6/8/10; A great evening of hurling in Kingscourt on Friday last at the finals of our own U10 tournament. East Cavan Gaels won the McCuill Plate after an entertaining game v Colmcilles B side. Castleblayney came out winners in a hard fought Setanta Shield Final against Cootehill and after a fine display of hurling by both sides while Colmcilles A side defeated a gallant Carrickmacross side to secure the first ever CuChulainn Cup. The finals followed the earlier rounds which most clubs hosted a round of competition. A very worthwhile exercise as boys got well over 20 games each in the competition.
