Throw-in is at 1.45pm in Pearse Park and we hope to see a large, colourful crowd in there to cheer on the maroon and gold. Thank you to Cian Brady, David Cassidy and Anthony McKeon for their recent generous sponsorship towards the team. Well done to Paul Cassidy and the Arva team who won the Cavan Intermediate championship last Sunday.
