Adult Football – On Saturday night last our seniors played a useful challenge match against Shercock at the 3G pitch in Breffini Park Cavan. Special mention must go to both Corey McAree and Mattie McElvaney who made their senior debuts on the night – both lads acquitted themselves well in their first appearance and didn’t look out of place. Also it was good to see the return of Darach McCluskey from Injury and Darren McMahon (back from his travels). All in all the match will provide the mgt team with plenty of food for thought in the weeks ahead. Training continues on Tuesday and Friday nights. Thanks to Shercock for the match.
