SENIORS & JUNIORS
The Seniors & Juniors both opened their seasons with a rewarding trip to Mullagh on Sunday to face Cuchullainns. First up were the Seniors, who gained a 3-9 to 1-6 victory, thanks to a super second half hat-trick by full forward, Ryan McCormack. The Juniors then followed up with an impressive 2-13 to 0-3 start to the season.
Well done to the Cavan U-21’s who beat Donegal in the Ulster Championship on Wednesday night and are now into the Ulster Final for the second year in a row. The final is fixed for Wednesday 13th April although venue & opponents are not yet known. Senior Players, Shane Gray, Barry Reilly, Colm Smith & Barry Tully all feature on the panel so if you can make it to the final next month, please try and go and support the lads and the county as they continue to give Cavan GAA a well overdue boost.
The Minors will look to make it four wins on the bounce when they visit Ballyhaise on Saturday (2nd) @ 4.15pm. Once again, the time of this game may will change, so best check with players or management nearer the day if you are planning a trip to it.
The Underage info is slowly starting to feed through. The 12s start tonight (28th) away to Shercock at 6.30pm. The 14s start on Thursday (31st) away to Castletara and the Girls season opened at the weekend with Pat Farrelly’s side gaining a good victory over Munterconnacht down the Park.

These sessions are at absolute beginner levels for both players and coaches so if anyone is interested in either playing or coaching, please contact Willie Gaughan on 086 1649820 or be down the Park at the above time.
