Great start to the new year of hurling! Our U7s had the privilege of starting us off with the first round of blitzes in Dundalk on Sunday last. Some great hurling with some of our lads playing their very first games for us. Five good games v Blackrock, Knockbridge, Clonduff, Newry and Ballyvarney. Getting games against Louth, Armagh and Down clubs will only bring our lads on even more. Special thanks to our player’s parents for making the long drive over.

Bailieborough Christmas Lights:

There was great excitement amongst the huge crowd gathered at the Market Square and on Main St., on Saturday evening last with the traditional ‘Switching –On’ of the Bailieborough Christmas Lights. Christmas Carols and music was provided by the Bailieborough School of Music, children from the local schools and local choristers, ‘Hardtimes Chorus’.

Santa and his Elves arrived on his sleigh (Santa’s sleigh was driven in by Martin McGuinness and this sleigh was made by Richard Kinnear and stored and repainted by Peter Reilly from Active Agri) to the great amazement of all the young children present. Santa was accompanied by the Active Agri Tractor Parade of Lights, whose tractors and other vehicles, were well turned out for the Christmas Run.

This year, Mr William Townley turned on the lights on—for those in the Community that are too young to remember, Willie put up the lights and looked after them for between 25 to 30 years. This is Bailieborough’s way of saying ‘Thanks’ to him and his son Thomas for all the years of hard work and to acknowledge the fact Willie and his generation volunteered in their community and that is not lost in today’s world! Everything went to plan, when all the dazzling lights lit up, to give the town a very Christmassy feel. The children and their parents, then had the opportunity to visit Santa and his Elves in his Grotto.

This year’s lights are magnificent, with everyone commenting on how great they look! It would be well worth one’s while to come along to the town, just to see this terrific display.

The idea is simple. Wrap a shoebox and mark it Male or Female. In the shoebox you can put the likes of: Hats, Scarves, Gloves, Underwear, Socks Toiletries: *No aerosols, perfumes, aftershaves, mouthwash or hand sanitizers—Christmas Card or Chocolate.

If you would like to donate a shoebox to a homeless child, please specify the child’s age and whether they are male or female.

East Cavan Gaels GAA Club – Hurling News 12th November 2018:

Under 7/9/11; A good start in Kingscourt on Thursday but the horrendous weather on Friday put paid to the Bailieborough groups start, as it was too dangerous to ask parents to drive especially those who have to travel a good distance. They will start next Friday instead.

Under 13; These lads are now finished for the year. We would like to thank them for their commitment this year and congratulate those who won both Feile and U15 league this year. Lots of promise in this squad which we hope will continue into 2019. Thanks to our coaches Colin, Ben and Willie for all their work all year.

Under 15; These lads are now also finished for the year. We thank them for their continuing commitment and recognise their success in both Feile and in the Monaghan league and were only a puck of the ball away from the Cavan Championship. We look forward to 2019 with these lads. Well done.

Senior; Again these lads are now finished for the year. Planning for 2019 is well under way.
