Under 6/8/10; We had a successful U8/10 training blitz in Bailieborough on Wednesday last. These sessions are great opportunities for all of our players to meet up locally and prepare for blitzes etc. Our next trip is to Cloghan on Wednesday for an U8 and U10 blitz with lots of other clubs.

Jack, Kyle and Rory played for Cavan in the Ulster Minor Division 2 final on Saturday last v Monaghan. David and Paul Rogers are also eligible for this squad but are also part of the Cavan Minor football squad so were unavailable for this game.
