On the viewing stand were local politicians, dignitaries and members of the clergy. Many local businnesses took part, along with the vintage cars, tractors and motorcycles but the highlight of the Parade, was the amount of children taking part, with their clubs and organisations.

We MUST get all our players registered by the end of March as per GAA rules. It is imperative that all our players are registered with East Cavan Gaels before then.
Official GAA Club; We have applied for, and been granted by Cavan County Board, official Club status. After ten years of hard work and the fact that we now field at all levels of hurling up to and including adult level we have been granted the status of a Club. A lot of work has gone into this project and there is still a lot more to do but we are very proud of this achievement. We will take our place at County Committee meetings along with the other 41 GAA units in Cavan. Our first meeting will be in early April and our first Official Club Committee meeting will take place shortly after. We thank all of those who came to our recent meeting to ratify the transition committee which will take us to the next stage of development.
We have a significant amount of people and organisations to thank for helping us to get to this stage and we will formally recognise this at a later date most likely to mark our tenth anniversary which happens this summer. We are now at the end of the beginning………….now on to the next phase!!
