By Niall Gartland RAYMOND Galligan’s Cavan are bidding to get up and running at the second time of asking when they travel to Navan to take on Meath on Sunday, but they’ll need to improve if they’re to move towards achieving promotion out of Division Two. They lost out in a high-scoring match against Monaghan on […]
By Niall Gartland KNOCKBRIDE have borne the brunt of two significant disappointments over the course of the last 12 months, but manager Aidan McCabe says they aren’t looking in the rearview mirror ahead of tonight’s (Thursday) Junior Championship quarter-final against Munterconnaught. This time last year, Knockbride could have no complaints when they were beaten by […]
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 […]
CAVAN have announced two changes to their starting line-up ahead of Saturday’s third and final group stage match against Roscommon, a game they have no choice but to win if they’re to progress in the competition.

By Niall Gartland CAVAN GAA commentator Damien Donohoe believes that supporters shouldn’t throw the baby out with the bathwater after a disappointing showing against Mayo in the first round of the All-Ireland group stages. Raymond Galligan’s side slumped to a 0-20 to 1-8 defeat is what was by far their poorest showing in the championship arena […]
Jim Reilly and Ciaran McGarvey recall their contrasting memories of the last time Cavan beat Tyrone in championship football By Niall Gartland RECORDS are there to be broken and all that but Cavan fans may feel squeamish enough about the prospect of facing Tyrone given their miserly record against the Red Hands over the course […]
By Michael McMullan CAVAN goalkeeper Gary O’Rourke hopes Sunday’s win over Monaghan will be a help to himself or whoever dons the Cavan number one jersey in the future. Last year it was Raymond Galligan as the last line of defence but O’Rourke has made the position on his own since starting against Donegal back […]
By Niall Gartland BAILIEBOROUGH Shamrocks clubman Mark Gilsenan and his family are dyed in the wool GAA people, but attending matches as a family simply wasn’t feasible until a new sensory room was developed at Kingspan Breffni in Cavan. Mark’s son Daniel is autistic and non-verbal so he usually had to stay at home with his […]
By Niall Gartland THERE’S a feeling of optimism in Cavan as they gear up for Saturday’s Division Two encounter against Cork in Pairc Ui Chaoimh.
