Footfall in the local shops was up and in the run up to Christmas, trying to get parking on Main St., was a nightmare at times but shoppers made good use of the car parks in the town.
The new Christmas Lights also added a lot of festive cheer and feel to the town and all involved with the project deserve thanks for all their hard work and commitment.
A big well done to everyone who took part in the Christmas Swim in Bailieborough. It was cold and wet but it didn’t hold the locals back from the traditional Christmas Day swim which was being held for the 24th time with the proceeds going to Bailieborough Senior Citizens.
The Athletic Club’s Annual St. Stephen’s Day run was well supported with participants eager to clear the cobwebs after Christmas Day.

East Cavan Gaels GAA Club – Hurling News 1st January 2018
Happy New Year to all involved in local hurling. We hope to have lots of hurling activity lined up for a busy 2018. Thanks to all for all their help so far and we look forward to dusting off the cobwebs later in January. Below are a few pictures from a very busy 2017. Lets hope 2018 in even better.
Another years hurling, our 9th, done. Lots of new hurlers joining with us especially at the younger ages. Our U12s won the Monaghan Div 2 league. Our U14s reached National Feile semi-final. Our older groups did not get the amount of games we would have liked but we are working on fixing that for 2018 so hang in there lads! Adult hurling is also nearly ready for lift off.
Thanks to everyone for all of their hard work again this year. It is a small but very dedicated crew who work, sometimes in conditions which can be very challenging, for the benefit of the boys and for their hurling development. Without them we could not function.
We have worked very hard over the years to lobby for new competitions to keep our boys hurling and we are hopeful that some new exciting announcements early in the new year will give hurling the big opportunity it has been waiting for. Watch this space.
Finally thanks to our players and their parents. We could not have one without the other so to our players thank you for all of your efforts and to your parents thanks for your continued support. It can be difficult locally sometimes to say you play hurling but if you stick with us over the years ahead not only will you be able to say you play hurling but that you are also very proud to play this great game of ours.
Happy New Year from all of us at East Cavan Gaels GAA Hurling Club.
