Michael McMullen and Damien Donohoe look ahead to the Ulster Intermediate Final between Arva and Ballinderry. Arva are hoping to secure back-to-back Ulster crowns after their Junior success last season, which ended with an All-Ireland title in Croke Park. Ballinderry on the other hand, who won the Senior All-Ireland 20 years ago, are intent on […]
By Niall Gartland ARVA will put their winning streak of 22 successive championship victories on the line when they take on Magheracloone this Saturday – but that’s very much a subplot to what’s really at stake for the reigning All-Ireland Junior champions. Making it back to another Ulster final would be a tremendous accomplishment in […]
By Shaun Casey IT’S been quite the year for Arva, but manager Finbar O’Reilly is intent on looking forward rather than to the past. In the last year, Arva have collected the Cavan, Ulster and All-Ireland Junior titles before claiming the Cavan IFC trophy. They’ve grown from strength to strength, but the Breffni men won’t […]
By Niall Gartland THEY were favourites before a ball was thrown-in but Knockbride have certainly had to work for their place in Saturday’s Cavan Junior Championship final against Belturbet. Aidan McCabe’s side operated in Division One in the league and lost last year’s Junior Championship final against eventual All-Ireland champions Arva, so it’s no surprise […]
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. Last year it was tigerish defender Ryan Dougan who fended off stiff competition to land the prized individual award, and he’s in […]
Below are the nominees for the 2023 Mens Football Manager of the Year sponsored by Cavanagh Kelly. Find out more about this year’s shortlisted nominees below. Malachy O’Rourke – Glen Kilcoo after extra time, and Kilmacud Crokes in last year’s final are the only teams to have beaten Glen in championship football in O’Rourke’s three-year […]
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. The Ulster champions trailed by three at the half-time interval, but the midfield pair really kicked into gear […]
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 […]
