East Cavan Gaels GAA Club – Hurling News 11th January 2016
We wish all our supporters, players, coaches and mentors a very Happy New Year!
The New Year is always a time for resolutions and with that in mind we encourage as many boys from the local communities to try out hurling if they have yet to do so. 2016 promises to be our biggest ever year on the field as we will have at least 11 teams in various competitions/blitzes from Under 6 all the way up to Minor (Under 18). There is a team for you regardless of your age or ability. No previous hurling experience is required and we provide the equipment while you “give it a go!” Some of the greatest ever hurlers started late, Sean Og O’Halpin was 14 years old before he started playing hurling and Henry Shefflin, probably the greatest ever hurler, started out as a goalie! If you are interested in hurling then we have a team for you. Come to one of our registration nights and speak to members of the coaching team and see if hurling could be the game for you.
Registration nights; We will register all our present and new hurlers in two venues as follows; Kingscourt Community Centre Thursday January 28th from 6.45 for all from the Kingscourt area Under 6, Under 8 and Under 10.

The fee for registration is €15 per player for the year.
Minor; Our minors will now take part in the 2015 Championship Final on Sunday 17th January on the 3G at Breffni Park at 2.30 v our friends from Cootehill. This is our very first final at minor and follows on from our Under 16s participating in their first ever final also. All support very welcome.
Presentation night; The most famous trophy in hurling, the Liam McCarthy Cup will make a welcome return to East Cavan Gaels on Sunday, January 17th at 5.30pm in The Bailie Hotel, Bailieborough, as we host our presentation evening for 2015s hurling activity.

Under 6, Under 8 and Under 10 teams.
