Leanne Kiernan – Irish Times Sportswoman of the Month for December.

Congratulations to our own Leanne Kieran on receiving the Irish Times, Sportswoman of the Month Award for December. Having had an action packed 2016, this was a fitting end to the year for this up and coming sports star.

The year ahead will be an even busier one for Leanne with Shelbourne beginning the defence of their league title in March, the Women’s National League being played as a summer season for the first time, while there is also a Champions League campaign ahead after their 2016 success.

There’ll be plenty of international duty, too, between the U-19s and seniors. There’s also the small matter of the Leaving Cert which she will do this year, Leanne hoping to do a degree in Agricultural Science. Then there’s all the commuting between Cavan and Dublin for training and matches.

Longer term, Leanne has expressed the wish to play football professionally, following the path of several of her international colleagues playing in Britain and beyond, including Noelle Murray who has just left Shelbourne to sign for Glasgow City FC.

At 17, though, there’s time enough for those opportunities and choices to come along, and if she has another year like 2016, Leanne won’t be short of them.

East Cavan Gaels GAA Club – Hurling News 9th January 2017

 

A very Happy New Year to all involved with our club. 2017 promises to be another positive year in the development of local hurling. We have a number of initiatives to roll out over the course of the year and by years end we should hope to see a substantial improvement at all levels within the club.

Just because there is no hurling being played at the moment does not mean there isn’t work going on. A full plan for the season ahead is being finalised and should be ready near the end of the month so to all our players we say enjoy the break as 2017 will be very busy and we hope successful.

Our first groups back hurling will be our U6/8/10 firstly in Kingscourt Community Centre on Thursday January 19th at 6.45 followed by our Bailieborough group on Friday 20th in the Community School Sports Hall from 6.

Registration for the year ahead for all will be in early February.

The older lads will return hurling soon after.

Happy New Year!

Bailieborough News. December 15^th 2016.  Matthew J. Cullen.

Bailieboro Garda Station Open Day. Saturday 17th December 2016 from 11am-3pm.

Superintendent Leo McGinn and the Gardaí at Bailieboro Garda Station wish to announce their first ever ‘Garda Station Open Day’. This is an excellent initiative aimed at building closer ties with all members of the community in the Bailieboro District, through some fun and informal interaction. As you may be aware Bailieboro Garda Station is the District Headquarters for the sub-district stations of Mullagh, Virginia, Cootehill, Ballyjamesduff, Shercock and Kingscourt.

This Open Day is a great opportunity to come and meet your local Gardaí and see the inner workings of your Garda Station. There will be special tours of areas normally off limits to the general public including the control room, prisoner processing, interview rooms and the cell areas. There will also be various vehicle and personnel displays. On show throughout the day we hope to have multiple patrol cars, vans and motorbikes along with some of the more specialist equipment from the likes of the Dog Unit, Mounted Unit, Sub-Aqua unit, Public Order Unit and National Armed Units. The Garda Band will also be making an appearance. There will also be a fly-by/hover from Alpha Sierra 2, one of the hi-tech Garda Helicopters. (We wish to note that obviously these national units can only be confirmed on the day due to possible operational requirements elsewhere).

There will of course be plenty of photo opportunities with the various displays both inside and outside the station…why not get your very own “Mug-Shot” at the height chart or sitting in a cell. There will be special prizes to any children dressed as police officers and light refreshments sponsored by Harris’s SuperValu, Bailieboro for the kids too.

Being the Gardaí, this event is not all fun and games, there is a serious side too. To that end our local crime prevention officer will be providing information to help keep your home and family safe.

Additionally, we are delighted to host members of the Road Safety Authority “Check-it-Fits” team, who will be on hand at the HSE car-park next door to check your children’s car seats are fitted correctly and if not, to show you how. The RSA roll-over simulator will also be present which is fitted to a hydraulic platform and can simulate a 90 degree and 180 degree roll-over demonstrating how it would feel if you were a driver or passenger involved in a less than desirable incident. It will also show you the effects of being suspended by your seat belt. The Road Safety Authority’s New Interactive Shuttle will also be present.

The Bailieboro Fire Crew and their engine will be on hand too, showing off their equipment along with the Irish Red Cross.

This event is totally free and is open to all members of the Public. We hope to welcome you all on the day. The event will proceed regardless of rain!
