Bailieborough News. October 17th 2022 . Matthew J. Cullen.
/in News /by PetraBailieborough Represented on the World Stage in the World Rally Championship (WRC)
It was officially announced last Tuesday morning, that Bailieborough man James Fulton will take a seat alongside Craig Breen in the W.R.C. after the retirement of Paul Nagle last week.
James Fulton from Baileborough, Co Cavan started off ‘on the notes’ with his friend Gary Kiernan almost a decade ago, learned the ropes and has been a specialist navigator since then.
James is well travelled throughout the world, calling notes for many elite drivers, “ it takes an awful lot of commitment. It’s like any sport, if you want to achieve in it, you have to knuckle down and commit to it”.
The role of a navigator requires a degree of fearlessness as well as sharp logistical skills. The behind-the-scenes part of the job is, James says, the most taxing.
James said: “I am delighted to get the opportunity, it’s something that I have been aiming towards for a while now, naturally, like any co-driver to get to the top level.
“I have been working with Craig for quite a while now and I have done a couple of tests in the Ford Puma, so I am really looking forward to developing the relationship with him and the car as well as with the team. I am looking forward to getting stuck into it and doing the best possible job.”
Craig Breen said, “I have every confidence in James, he’s been on the most recent tests with us and Rally Japan—from the 10th to the 13th of November, will give him good experience ahead of next season. Paul [Nagle] will also be joining us in Japan, just to settle everything in and give James plenty of reassurance.
Well done James and we all wish you well in being at the top end of the W.R.C. and continuing the long association, that Bailieborough has in the Rallying world.

East Cavan Gaels GAA Club – Hurling News 17th October 2022:Seniors; SHC Round 3: Cootehill 1-14, East Cavan Gaels 0-10. A disappointing result in appallingly difficult hurling conditions in Cootehill. We matched the champions in most departments but a five minute surge in the first half where they scored 1-2 without reply was enough for the hosts to keep us at arms length. We matched them in most departments but the weather made any effort at fluid hurling difficult for both sides and it became a war of attrition. Outscoring the opposition 8-4 in the second half, as we finally got to grips with the conditions, leads to a lot of “what ifs” but in the end the more experienced outfit prevailed we wish them well in the final and look forward to one more crack at them in the League Final in a few weeks time. Well done lads.
Under 11; Nearing the end of the season with a couple more training sessions before the League final v Cootehill in the coming weeks.
