Leanne Does it again!!: Well done to local girl, Leanne Kiernan who made her Senior International debut for the Republic of Ireland when they played a friendly against the Basque Country in Tallaght on Saturday afternoon last.

Incredible news that our own Jack Barry was first of all nominated but then went on to win Cavan Hurler of the year at the Sheridan Insurances award night on Friday last. A great individual award for Jack, who is still U16, for his consistent outstanding performances in the Celtic Challenge U17 inter-county competition for Cavan, picking up numerous player of the game awards along the way as well as great performances in the Cavan U16 championship, Ulster U16 league and Ulster minor league.

A first individual playing award to an East Cavan Gaels player also. Everyone in the club is rightly proud of this great achievement.

Well done Jack.

East Cavan Gaels GAA Club – Hurling News 14th November 2016

Under 6/8/10; Training returned indoors on Thursday last in Kingscourt Community Centre. Friday’s foul weather conditions made it unsafe to travel for our Bailieborough training group so they will get going this coming Friday. New players very welcome.

Under 16/18; Under 16 Championship final.

Cootehill 6-07

East Cavan Gaels 2-06

Definitely a case of what might have been on Wednesday in Breffni. An excellent display by our lads who are a mixture of only 4 16 year olds with a sprinkling of 13/14 year old lads. A very nasty head injury to Cillian Traynor coupled with the 2 goals that followed while a man down was ultimately our undoing on the night. Our defence while under some serious pressure delivered a serious performance led by Cian. The midfield area grabbed a good foothold in the game with Jack, Cillian, Seamus and Kevin putting in a serious shift to lay the platform. Unfortunately we are still very young in the forward department and the older physical presence of the Cootehill lads kept most of our attacks at bay but we still created a load of chances.

Cillian’s injury made the second half that bit more difficult but credit to our lads for sticking with Cootehill where they scored 3-04 to our 2-04. We are getting closer each year. Well done to all.

Congratulations and Well Done

Congratulations and Well Done to local girl, Leanne Kiernan, who was a member of the Republic of Ireland Women’s Under 19 squad that took part in the European Under 19 qualifiers in Skopje last week. In the first game against Macedonia, Leanne scored 4 goals in what turned out to be a comprehensive 10—0 win for the Republic. In the girls second game against Wales, Leanne scored both goals in a two nil win. Leanne played the full game on Sunday against favourites Italy and although she did not score, she played a full part in a noteworthy 2—0 win for the Republic. These results ensure that the team qualifies for the Elite Round of qualifying for the UEFA European Championships due to be held early next year. Well done Leanne, you have made your home town and country proud of you!
