Congratulations:
Congratulations and well done to local councillor, Niamh Smyth T.D, who on Sunday last was elected to Dail Eireann to represent the Cavan/Monaghan constituency, on her first attempt. Despite being only added to the ticket at the last minute, Niamh and her team did Trojan work canvassing leading up to the election and it all paid off when she won the last seat in the constituency after a nail biting 10th count against outgoing local T.D., Joe O’Reilly. Niamh is the first ever female TD from Cavan to be elected to the Dail and all wish her well in her endeavours.

Under 6/8/10; Good work continues at training in both Kingscourt and Bailieborough. We had our first U8/10 blitz of the year away to our friends in Carrick on Saturday last where the boys did really well. Lots more of these blitzes to come.
Under 13; The Under 13 finals night, was played on Monday last on the 3G in Breffni Park in very cold conditions. Our first team did well and our second team did really well reaching the Shield Final, a great achievement for them as a lot of this squad was made up from our junior boys aged 11 upwards and was their first taste of real hurling after moving up from U10.
The Under 12 Spring league is next up in Feb/March.
