East Cavan Gaels Hurling Review 2019
Another great year both on and off the field for East Cavan Gaels. Our Senior side completed their first full season of competitive hurling and we added an Under 7 team by themselves at the end of the year and the not so small fact that we are now a fully official GAA club, the same as any in any county. We also celebrate ten years of local hurling and look forward to the next ten when all of our dreams will be realised!
Below is a snap of some of our activities in 2019.
Again thank you all for all of your combined help. Roll on 2020!!
Our Seniors had a very good year. We played in the Cavan league, the Monaghan reserve league and the Cavan Championship. We reached the league final in Cavan going down by just a few points to Mullahoran. We played 7 very competitive games in the Monaghan reserve league which had us well prepared for the Cavan Championship. The three games were lost but it does not tell even part of the story. The cumulative defeat total of nine points over the three games shows how far we have come and developed over the years. New faces joining with us kept all the lads on their toes. We are really looking forward to 2020 with the same competitions as well as the new Cu Cuchulainn Cup in the summer also. Well done to all who have pulled on the blue jersey this year. The future is bright.
Under 15/17;
Another fine year of development for these groups. The Under 15s continued to develop well reaching the final of the Tain league. More competitive games in the run up to this final would have had our lads in better shape but all in all they can be happy with their performances this year. The U17s, of which is made up mostly of the same squad of under 15s plus our older lads put in a superb performance in winning Div 2 of the Cavan league. Missing some regulars due to injuries the lads put in a real shift and ran out convincing winners. The older Under 17s will now move into our Senior squad for the first time and we look forward to their continuing development over the coming years. The U15s will have to wait a little bit longer but they are a great bunch who have been together for a considerable period.

Under 13;
A mixed year for our Under 13s. They performed very well week after week in the Tain league but the results did not reflect the serious effort these lads put in. The league final in Breffni Park was a highlight and while defeated by a strong Latton side they showed lots of what they are made of in a good performance. One of the hardest working groups in the club they continued their hard work throughout the year and we look forward to some of these lads moving up to Under 15 next year while the lads turning 13 will have a new group to bolster them coming up from U11. Well done to all.

Under 11;
Another good year for these lads. We work hard to get them the games they need. We start off in January in Dundalk blitz and work our way literally around the province and country to continue to give them lots of differing opposition. These lads have responded with some very impressive performances and forming a good unit as some of these lads have been hurling for quite a few years. The league final in Breffni Park under lights was an undoubted highlight but their actual work throughout the year was exemplary. We look forward to seeing them again in 2020 and also look forward to seeing those promoted to the Under 13 side in the coming year.

Another great year with these lads. The year began in Dundalk at the big Ulster blitz and again these lads continued the fine form from the previous year playing very well wherever they went.

Under 7;
2020 saw East Cavan Gaels have a specific Under 7 side for the very first time. Up to now Under 7s joined in with the Under 9s and did their best. We had a look and saw that there were even more boys looking to join with us but did not want to start with the bigger boys. We decided to start as per usual with our indoor crew and had our first sessions in Bailieborough in October. The response has been fantastic so far. We are very thankful to all the new players and their parents that have joined with us this year and we look forward to seeing where their journey takes them.
Under 7s indoors, lots of them!
