GAA
Cavan lost to defending champions Dublin by 1-24 to 0-12 in the All Ireland semi-final on Saturday last in Croke Park. They put in a strong performance in the opening half but were overpowered by an excellent second half performance from the champions. Well done to the Management and panel and Lavey's Chris Conroy, Gerard Smith, Paul Gilcreest and Danny Cusack on a great championship which yielded a first Ulster senior title since 1997.
The Lavey GAA Drive-In Bingo continues at the Community Centre, Lower Lavey every Sunday at 2.30pm. Why not go along and bring a friend.
