By Shaun Casey PROMOTION from Division Four is still within Cavan’s grasp but it isn’t their main focus at the minute says manager Ollie Bellew as his Breffni Blues face into their final three league encounters. They make the short journey to Leitrim on Saturday afternoon before taking on table-toppers Sligo and Ulster rivals Monaghan […]
By Niall Gartland AT half time of last weekend’s Division Two meeting of Cavan and Kildare, word filtered through that Louth had plotted an upset against Tyrone. Dermot McCabe’s side were three points in arrears at the interval, and Louth’s win spelled potential bad news. The need to pick up a first league win at […]
By Niall Gartland DID the wheels come off the wagon for Cavan last weekend? Zero points on the board after three matches leaves Dermot McCabe’s side mired in a battle for survival, but the most disappointing element of their defeat to Tyrone was the manner in which they fell away in the second half at […]
Killian Clarke retired from inter-county action at the end of last season after a career that yielded Ulster medals at all levels in the Breffni blue. He spoke with Michael McMullan. WHEN someone plays 134 times for their county, there will always be more under the bonnet than we can ever see. Welcome to a […]
By Michael McMullan JOE Oguz and Darren McCurry should come into the reckoning for selection ahead of Tyrone’s Round Three clash with Cavan.

By Daire Walsh IT wasn’t something she had necessarily envisaged, but late bloomer Tara Rogers will forever cherish winning an AIB All-Ireland intermediate club football championship title with Cavan’s Knockbride in 2025. Three weeks ago Rogers started at midfield as Knockbride recorded a commanding 3-10 to 0-4 triumph over Caltra Cuans of Galway in the […]
By Niall Gartland CAVAN footballer Niall Carolan didn’t exactly spend the twilight of 2025 with the feet up. He was an integral part of a Cuchulainn’s team that reached the Ulster Intermediate final, and while they fell short against Derry side Glenullin, it was a hugely memorable period for the club and community. Now though, […]
By Michael McMullan HISTORY doesn’t kick the ball over the bar but it helps generate an image of what can be achieved as Cuchulainn’s prepare for this weekend’s Ulster Intermediate final against Glenullin. For 22-year-old captain Philip Smyth, he doesn’t need to look very far to find a line of symmetry between the current team […]
By Shaun Casey THE entire Cuchulainn’s club is looking forward to Saturday’s Ulster Intermediate Championship semi-final against Tyrone champions Clonoe, says manager Niall Lynch ahead of the big showdown. The pair lock horns as part of a double header in the BOX-IT Athletic Grounds, with Down kingpins Kilcoo taking on Erne Gaels of Fermanagh in the […]
By Shaun Casey STEPHEN McGovern’s side have already travelled further than any Munterconnaught team has in the club’s history. They ended a 31-year wait for a Cavan county title this season and are now one win away from competing in an Ulster final.
