East Cavan Gaels GAA Club – Hurling News 30th November 2015
Under 16; Commiserations to our under 16 squad who gave a very good account of themselves in the Championship Final v Cootehill played in very stormy weather conditions on the 3G on Sunday last. On another day the goal chances created would have went in and a championship won but not to be on this occasion. The reigning champions just about did enough to retain their title but our lads can console themselves on the fact the gap is closing rapidly. Due to the conditions both teams found it difficult to play the type of free flowing hurling both are capable of but both must be commended on the serious work they put into the game. Our first Cavan final at this level and will not be our last. Well done to Kathryn, Maurice and Sharon for working so hard with these boys and for getting them into another final.
Above; Our U16 squad who reached their first Cavan U16 Championship Final.
