East Cavan Gaels GAA Club – Hurling News 4th June 2018

Monday hurling;

We in this club have spent many, many years advocating for a designated day for hurling activity, which does not clash with other GAA activity, to give all local boys the chance to play both major codes of the Association. After many false dawns we have now reached a point where we now get to get a regular and meaningful schedule of games for our players. With the assistance of Cavan County board and other County Boards we have now, finally, settled on a day which is suitable for all hurling clubs in a number of counties. That day is Monday. Most of our fixtures for our grades from U11/13/15/17 are scheduled for this day and when not playing fixtures we also train on this day. Should we reach a semi-final or final, we may train on a different day in preparation for same.

We respectfully ask our catchment football clubs, of which we have a minimum of nine GFC clubs with players in our ranks, to please leave Monday free for our hurlers to be given the best opportunity to both prepare and play our national game. There are no football fixtures fixed for Monday by the Youth Board in Cavan and no challenge games should be scheduled either. After many years we now have built a platform from where local hurling can develop and it is now, and with the significant cooperation of our GFC clubs, that we can continue to grow. A lot of our catchment clubs have kept Monday free but some, unfortunately, have not, thus putting pressure on players to have to make a choice when they should not be put into this position in the first place. The dual GAA star can thrive in the right environment and we have created that environment, all we ask is that players be given the opportunity. Please keep Monday free for hurling. The payback will be enormous for both codes. Hurling and football can work side by side for the benefit of all. If your players would like some more GAA other than football, then please send them to us on Monday. A huge amount of our local GFC players have hurled up to U10 with us in the past. Let them help us all to a bright future.

Under 7/9/11;

Training Monday in Killann 6.45-8pm. A couple of blitzes in the pipeline coming up soon.

Under 13;

The lads had another impressive win in the Monaghan League on Monday last when they came away from Carrick with a hard earned win. They now play the second round of the Tain League on Monday at Breffni 3G, v Lisbellaw, at 7.30 and then begin final preparations for Feile.

Feile;

Final preparation begin for National Feile na nGael as we head to the shadow of Ben Bulben in Sligo this coming Friday. It, once again, promises to be another great weekend of hurling making new friends and having the great experience that is National Feile. Best of luck to all our significant travelling party of family and friends and supporters and to our team who once again will represent Cavan hurling with pride. Best of luck to management team of Kathryn and Pat. Keep an eye on our Twitter and Facebook for all updates from Sligo.

Congratulations and Well Done:

Congratulations and Well Done to East Cavan Gaels Hurling Club who are the All Ireland Champions of the John West Féile na nGael Division 8 Hurling Shield Final that took place over the weekend. A truly historic weekend as our lads landed a National Hurling title for their efforts in Sligo and Mayo this past weekend! Facing off opposition from Donegal, Sligo twice, Mayo, Down and Mayo again in the final to lift the Division 8 Shield in front of an ecstatic support in Ballyhaunis on Sunday. Friday started with a very narrow defeat to Sligo club Castleconnor in a very exciting game. A defeat to a strong St. Eunans from Letterkenny, who eventually went on to the Cup final, was no disgrace. The lads dusted themselves down and on Saturday began by defeating host club Ben Bulben Gaels to finish third in the group. Off to Connaught Centre of Excellence in Ballyhaunis to face off against Beal Atha Bhearraigh from Mayo for a place in the semi-final. A dominant 5-11 to 1-02 win got them to Sunday morning in Tooreen in Mayo to face Down club St Peters Warrenpoint. In a gripping encounter the lads held out by a point 1-04 to 1-03 to advance to the Shield final for the second successive year. This time we played our old but good friends from Caiseal Gaels in Mayo, whom we hosted at National Feile in 2015 in Bailieborough. The first half started well but a couple of soft goals left a bit of doubt in the minds at half time. In fairness to the lads they kicked on considerably in the second half with all sectors of the field contributing to a stirring yet decisive win. Joyous scenes as Diarmuid and Nathan received the Shield from GAA President Jack Horan.

We must give many thanks to number of individuals and groups who made this success possible. To Kathryn and Pat, the Feile management team who delivered in what was a challenging week off the field in the run up to the competition. To Kathryn for all her administrative work in the lead up to Feile. To Colin and Ben who prepared the U13s in the squad to a great standard. To Bridie Rahill for her brilliant transport all over the West of Ireland for the whole weekend. To Nixy’s Bar in Bailieborough for the fine spread at short notice to welcome home the boys. To the cavalcade and supporters who turned out in large numbers to welcome the lads home. To the host families in Sligo and the host Club Ben Bulben Gaels for the excellent hospitality over the entire weekend. To our player families who travelled West in large numbers and were vociferous in their unflinching support for the lads. To all our sponsors and supporters especially McGuirk Engineering who kindly sponsored the new training tops for the boys. And finally to the lads themselves who can now call themselves All Ireland Champions. Well done from us all in the club.

It would seem to be a commercial decision on the part of Cavan County Council since, unlike other bin providers, we haven’t heretofore been required to rent the bin space. Thank you for all donations and we would like to emphasise that we are open as normal even though there is scaffolding in front of the shop.
