East Cavan Gaels: Hurling News: IMPORTANT EXCITING NEWS!!
2019 will see us celebrate 10 years of local hurling with East Cavan Gaels Hurling Club. We are sure you will agree that the regional model which we implemented has been a tremendous success so far in so far that boys from the region, and now men also, have their own hurling teams for which to play for. To further our development and to continue the journey to the next phase we have decided, in conjunction with Cavan County Board, to fully affiliate as an Official GAA Hurling Club. It is the next logical step in this club’s development. We have proven over the last 10 years that there is a healthy appetite for hurling in the East Cavan area and that players are willing to join with us. This is a very big and brave step to take but it could not have happened without your continued support. We have in place a transitional committee in place from which to start the next phase but we will need your input into how we move forward as an Official Club. To that end we will have a meeting for all our interested parties this coming Thursday in the Bailie Hotel, Bailieborough at 9pm upstairs. We would really appreciate it it if you could give us an hour of your time to hear what you have to say about how we begin the next ten years. This is truly an historic time for hurling and we hope you continue to be a part of this new very exciting part of our development. 9pm Thursday 21st March in the Bailie. We look forward to seeing you there. Mise le meas, Kathryn O’Flynn, Runai, East Cavan Gaels Hurling Club.

Bailieborough News. June 27^th 2019. Matthew J. Cullen.

‘Thank You’ to the People of Killann Parish from Fr. Michael Router: “The Mass of Thanksgiving and Farewell on Friday night last was, as I take my leave of this wonderful Parish, a truly memorable and emotional occasion for me. The generosity, kindness and support that I have received on a daily basis over the past 5 years seemed to be augmented and magnified for me during those wonderful hours of prayer and communal togetherness, that we shared on Friday. I was humbled by your presence, your kind words and your love and I know that nothing I can say or do will ever fully express my gratitude to you.

Since I stepped down as Parish Priest over a week ago to begin preparing for my new role in the Archdiocese of Armagh, I have felt the sadness of loss as I realise that my time in this Parish has come to an end. It is difficult and daunting to brgin again and to start all over in a place where I know so few people but I always know that I have your support and prayers in the years ahead. Prayer is the lifeblood of all our endeavours as Christians. Prayer changes everything and makes all things new. Keep me in your prayers and I will keep you in mine.

I would like to thank all those who were involved in the Mass and function on Friday night especially the Pastoral Council and Finance Committees of the Parish who organised the event under the leadership of Peter Foster, Anne Ryan, Andrea Connelly and Fr. Martin Gilcreest. Thank you also to Fr. Martin for his lovelt sermon. Thank you to all the combined Parish Choirs, who were exceptional and who greatly enhanced the Liturgy, to the concelebrating Priests and the Rev. Ian Horner, Church of Ireland Rector of the Bailieborough Group of Parishes, to Sacristan May Cassidy, to the Altar servers, the Ministers of the Word, those who read the Prayers of the Faithful, Eucharistic Ministers, stewards and the symbol and gift bearers. Thank you to all who prepared the Community Centre for the function afterwards and to Fox’s Catering for the beautiful refreshments.

Thanks to all who were present, to those who sent messages of regret that they couldn’t be there and to all who have phoned me, sent cards, letters, emails and texts over the past six weeks. Your kindness I will never forget and I hope that God will bless you and your families with strong faith, good health and much happiness in the future”.

Thank You all so much: The Pastoral Council and Finance Committees of our Parish, wish to thank all those who attended Friday evening’s Mass of Celebration and Thanksgiving for the appointment of Fr. Michael as Auxiliary Bishop of Armagh. Your presence was a clear reflection of the respect and appreciation we all have for him. The evening was a hugely enjoyable and successful occasion due to the hard work and commitment of many people—too many to list here!! We would like to express our most sincere gratitude to everyone who played their part over the last few weeks in the huge ‘jigsaw’ of organising, planning and running the evening. Without doubt, each and every piece fitted together seamlessly to make the ‘big picture’ a wonderfully heartfelt farewell to or most esteemed Parish Priest and great friend.

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.

Well Done: Well done to local man, Robert Cullen (Seefin), who completed the Ironman, Ireland event held in Youghal, Cork on Sunday, June 23^rd. Robert’s time of 10 hours, 45 minutes placed him 265^th overall in the event which had attracted an entry of over 2,500 from over 60 countries and which was held in terrible conditions, with rain falling from early morning. Robert was joined in the event by his ‘Mac’s Misfits’ teammates, Kevin McElhinney, 12h 20m, (Virginia), Trevor McWeeney, 12h 34m (Virginia) and Sandra McQuade, 13h 01m, (Killinkere). A brilliant result for all, considering that the course consisted of a 180km cycle followed by a full 26.2mile marathon—the swim part of the event was cancelled due to the rough conditions in the sea. Also well done to all the other athletes from the county who took part in the event, the training now starts for next year’s event!!
