There was great excitement around Eastern Gaels last night as our club featured in the Meath GAA Championship draws for the very first time.

We begin our Championship life in Group A of the CoolRite Junior B Football Championship and have some very exciting looking fixtures ahead.

First up is a trip to Cortown and we are certainly counting down the days to that one!

Group A also includes two of Meath's most northerly teams in Kilmainhamwood and Drumconrath, as well as Clonard from the extreme south-west. So Eastern Gaels will certainly be on tour this Summer, and relishing the road trips!

The final opponents in Group A are our near neighbours in Donore, St. Mary’s, another fixture we are really looking forward to.

Lots of work to do ahead of the first throw-in but everyone is really looking forward to the ultimate challenge for every club ... the County Championship.
