Item 5.02
Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On September 7, 2007, the Compensation and Nominating Committee of the Board of Directors (the "Committee") of Celadon Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), granted a discretionary cash bonus to each of Ken Core and Sergio Hernandez in the amount of $15,000 and $15,033, respectively, for fiscal 2007.  The discretionary bonus awarded to Messrs. Core and Hernandez was based on, among other things, the Company’s safety, driver development, and profitability.  For the foregoing reasons, discretionary bonuses were granted by the Committee despite not achieving performance targets previously established under the Company’s Cash Bonus Program.  A portion of the discretionary bonus granted to Mr. Hernandez was based on performance of the Company’s Mexican subsidiaries.

The Company previously reported the grant of discretionary bonuses for fiscal 2007 to each of Stephen Russell and Paul Will on the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on August 14, 2007.
