East Cavan Gaels GAA Club – Hurling News 4th June 2018

Monday hurling;

We in this club have spent many, many years advocating for a designated day for hurling activity, which does not clash with other GAA activity, to give all local boys the chance to play both major codes of the Association. After many false dawns we have now reached a point where we now get to get a regular and meaningful schedule of games for our players. With the assistance of Cavan County board and other County Boards we have now, finally, settled on a day which is suitable for all hurling clubs in a number of counties. That day is Monday. Most of our fixtures for our grades from U11/13/15/17 are scheduled for this day and when not playing fixtures we also train on this day. Should we reach a semi-final or final, we may train on a different day in preparation for same.

We respectfully ask our catchment football clubs, of which we have a minimum of nine GFC clubs with players in our ranks, to please leave Monday free for our hurlers to be given the best opportunity to both prepare and play our national game. There are no football fixtures fixed for Monday by the Youth Board in Cavan and no challenge games should be scheduled either. After many years we now have built a platform from where local hurling can develop and it is now, and with the significant cooperation of our GFC clubs, that we can continue to grow. A lot of our catchment clubs have kept Monday free but some, unfortunately, have not, thus putting pressure on players to have to make a choice when they should not be put into this position in the first place. The dual GAA star can thrive in the right environment and we have created that environment, all we ask is that players be given the opportunity. Please keep Monday free for hurling. The payback will be enormous for both codes. Hurling and football can work side by side for the benefit of all. If your players would like some more GAA other than football, then please send them to us on Monday. A huge amount of our local GFC players have hurled up to U10 with us in the past. Let them help us all to a bright future.

Under 7/9/11;

Training Monday in Killann 6.45-8pm. A couple of blitzes in the pipeline coming up soon.

Under 13;

The lads had another impressive win in the Monaghan League on Monday last when they came away from Carrick with a hard earned win. They now play the second round of the Tain League on Monday at Breffni 3G, v Lisbellaw, at 7.30 and then begin final preparations for Feile.

Feile;

Final preparation begin for National Feile na nGael as we head to the shadow of Ben Bulben in Sligo this coming Friday. It, once again, promises to be another great weekend of hurling making new friends and having the great experience that is National Feile. Best of luck to all our significant travelling party of family and friends and supporters and to our team who once again will represent Cavan hurling with pride. Best of luck to management team of Kathryn and Pat. Keep an eye on our Twitter and Facebook for all updates from Sligo.
