East Cavan Gaels: Hurling Club News 8th July 2024
Senior; Monaghan SHL semi final: Knockbridge 0-16, East Cavan Gaels 1-19.
A fabulous result in Knockbridge on Thursday last, as our lads had to dig very deep to secure this result and a place in the final.
This was a hard fought battle with the hosts hard running game making them difficult opponents to pin down but the lads stuck to the task well. A bright dry evening and a thoroughly impressive pitch set the scene for an entertaining game although the swirling nature of the strong breeze made it difficult for both sides.
Congratulations to Adam and his team in securing a place in the final next week where our group victor’s, and Monaghan Senior hurling champions, Inniskeen will remain a very difficult nut to crack but we can be happy to be in their exalted company next week and will act as great preparation for our own local Championship which kicks off in the next weeks.
