Cavan Ladies in All Ireland Final

10^th September 2011

Cavan Ladies will play Westmeath in the TG4 All Ireland Ladies Intermediate Final on Sunday 25^th September in Croke Park and the Cavan Ladies Board is urging all GAA people in the county to show their support for the senior team.

Ladies Chairman Eamonn O'Reilly has asked for supporters to turn out in numbers as the Breffni girls search for national honours.

"As you are aware the Cavan Ladies Football team will play in this year's TG4 All Ireland Intermediate Championship final in Croke Park on Sunday September 25^th. The Cavan team needs the support of everyone involved in Cavan GAA across all levels and from every corner of the county," said Eamonn.

"A strong showing of support from the your club would play a big part in the team's chances of success on the day. We ask that you actively encourage all club members to turn out in Croke Park in the Cavan colours on the 25^th September to cheer on the Cavan Ladies. A big Cavan support could make all the difference on the day.

"So, we strongly encourage you to rally the troops and come out and support by working with your local ladies club to organise busses to bring supporters of all age groups within the club to Croke Park on 25^th September. We would also ask that you would assist your ladies club to decorate your local area with Cavan flags and bunting. If your area is one of the few areas in the county where no ladies club exists, we would really appreciate if you organise as much support as possible for the team.

"We would really appreciate if you could get behind the team as they try to bring All-Ireland glory to the county and make a special effort in encouraging all your members to travel to Croke Park on that day."

Cavan qualified for the final after an amazing extra time win over Leitrim in the semi-final last month in Birr. At one stage in the second half, they trailed by 9 points but battled back and took control after 60 minutes of football couldn't separate the sides.

Cootehill natives and former underage players Christine McCutcheon in goals and Elaine O'Connor, nee Costin, at wing forward, both starred for Cavan in the semi-final win and all at Cootehill Celtic GAA - both Men and Ladies - wish Christine, Elaine and the rest of Cavan Ladies team the best of luck!!
