Friends of Cavan Gaels
Pleased to announce that Planning Permission has been granted for our proposed developments in Terry Coyle Park. We are contacting as many as possible of former Cavan Gaels players, at home and abroad, in connection with these proposed developments. We are also in the process of contacting all local Cavan Gaels supporters.
Brochures, detailing the planned developments and the various methods of payment, are being distributed at present. Those who have distributed brochures are reminded that we need to have feedback as soon as possible. We are setting the end of June as a deadline. If, for some reason, you have not received a brochure, you can do so by making contact with any of our club officers. It is important that all club people support this important club development. Thanks to all those who have already contributed generously.

Division One
Our division one team continued on their winning ways on Sunday last when they secured a home victory over Ramor United. We got off to an impressive start and were in control for most of the game. Ramor did have a period of ascendancy in the second half and reduced the arrears. But the home side rallied to leave a nine point margin between the teams. Richie Murphy, John Gurhy, Niall Gurhy, Dallan McCormick, John Fortune, Darragh Sexton, Levi Murphy. Sean Reilly, Eamonn Reilly, Niall Smith, Declan Meehan, Robert Maloney-Derham, Martin Dunne, Niall Collins, Conor McClarey. Subs. Gavin Duffy, Enda King.

1915 Medal
An interesting medal has come to hand. It is a 1915 Cavan junior championship medal with the name Patrick Brady inscribed on it. Cavan Slashers won the junior title in 1915 defeating Crosserlough by 1-3 to 1-2 in Gowna. Patrick Brady lined out at midfield for the Slashers. Anyone who might know something about this Patrick Brady is asked to phone 086-1005303.

Information on Club Successes
A reminder to people that a very comprehensive account of all the Cavan Gaels senior championship successes is available, courtesy of Mícheál Smyth, on the Cavan CYMS website cavancyms.com Click on "About Us" and then on " Published" and you will see the relevant link. Also included is an account of all the Cavan Slashers senior championship wins and all of Cavan's All-Ireland victories. Mícheál's research also covers the Cavan Gaels under-age successes as well as all the victories of Cavan Harps.

Bréifne Abú
Congratulations to George Cartwright on his recent publication Bréifne Abú, a veritable cornucopia of records of Cavan football, hurling and handball during the period 1886 and 2011. It is an invaluable reference book and the product of many years of research. It will settle many an argument and will be a boon for quiz question setters. This book should especially appeal to the Cavan diaspora.
