East Cavan Gaels GAA Club – Hurling News 1st July 2019
Senior;
East Cavan Gaels 2-08 Mullahoran 1-15. A very enjoyable championship encounter in Mullahoran on Sunday morning. Our third encounter with the champions this year and on each occasion we get closer and closer. Once again a very good first half display backed up in the third quarter but in the end the cuteness that Mullahoran have at this level helped them pull clear at the end. We keep building and get on with the final round v Pearse Og in a couple of weeks.
Under 17; We have entered into the new Monaghan Under 17 league.
Under 15; A very good performance but one which wasn’t enough on the night v a good Castleblayney side in the Tain Og U15 semi-final on Monday last. We are as good as our Monaghan counterparts at this level which bodes well for the future.
A weeks break for all our U13/15/17s and we get back together next week.
Mondays U15 squad.
Under 13; These lads are now back in training preparing for the Cavan championship. No training this week.
Under 11; Two big blitzes ahead. Derrynoose hopefully for the U10s on Sunday next and Breffni 3G for all U11s on Monday.
Under 7/9; Under 7/9 blitz Monday 8th on Breffni 3G. U9 training Friday 6-7 on the astro at the Vale.
Congrats; Huge congratulations to James Tully and Hugh Smith who won football Feile with their club Laragh Utd at the weekend. James has the unique achievement of winning Feile in both football and hurling in successive years. Well done lads.
Laragh squad with James No.9 and Hugh No. 21. Well done lads!
Above; Daire Leddy, front row third from left in ECG top, representing ECG and Cavan at National Feile skills competition in Abbotstown in Dublin last week. In good company but not out of place. Well done Daire!
The week ahead; No U13/15/17 training this week.
