By Niall Gartland ARVA won last season’s All-Ireland Junior Club Championship title and there’s been no sign of any sort of slippage or comedown in their return to the Intermediate ranks of Cavan. They enjoyed the finest season in the club’s history in 2023/4 but they’re determined not to dine out on that success and […]
By Michael McMullan SEAN Hurson’s final whistle, with Armagh’s Jarly Óg Burns in possession of the ball at the end of last month’s All-Ireland football final, capped off a remarkable season for Ulster across the national footballing landscape. Within minutes, Aidan Forker delivered a memorable acceptance speech after thrusting Sam Maguire above his head. Forker […]
Will it be another Glen footballer that comes up trumps in our coveted Men’s Footballer of the Year award? This award is sponsored by Tyrone Trailers and is in association with Ulster GAA.

By Shaun Casey ARVA’S midfield duo Ciarán Brady and Tristan Noack Hofman were hugely inspirational in the second half of Sunday’s All-Ireland Junior final and helped the Cavan men carry home the trophy, says manager Finbar O’Reilly.

Arva 0-13 Listowel 0-10 A superb second half display saw Cavan side Arva claim the All-Ireland Intermediate title at Corke Park against Kerry’s Listowel Emmets. Listowel were the better team in the opening period and opened up a three-point margin minutes before the break thanks to a David Keane point. Arva struck one back through […]
By Niall Gartland DON’T let the peaks get too high and the valleys too low. Arva captain Ciaran Brady knows all about it. His playing career at both club and county has been of the unpredictable variety, it’s fair to say. With Cavan, he pocketed an Ulster medal in 2020, their first provincial triumph in […]
By Niall Gartland NOT to put too fine a point on it but Arva have essentially cantered their way to Saturday’s All-Ireland Junior Championship semi-final against Kildare side Milltown. They have played 11 championship games en route to the last four of the All-Ireland with a winning average of 12 points, but manager Finbar O’Reilly […]
By Niall Gartland ULSTER Junior Champions Arva will embark on the next step of their adventure as they host London-based Wandsworth Gaels in Saturday’s Twinning final at Kingspan Breffni.

By Niall Gartland ARVA have barely sustained a scratch en route to Saturday’s Ulster Junior Championship final against Blackhill. They cruised through the Cavan Championship and it’s been a similar story in Ulster, claiming comfortable victories over Ballymaguigan and Lisnaskea in recent weeks. For what it’s worth, they played Division One football in Cavan this […]
