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. Their usual net-minder Gary O’Rourke returns in place of Liam Brady, who played in their heavy defeat to Dublin […]
By Niall Gartland IN a sense it’s all gone according to script, but the events of the last few weeks will no doubt have caused considerable consternation for fans of the Breffni County. It’s hardly the shock of the century that it’s come to this, Cavan’s All-Ireland campaign hinging on their third and final group […]
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 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. They’ve won one and lost one after two games, but performances have been stellar and they’ll be favourites to get the better of a Cork side already in dire straits with […]
BY RYAN FERRY DONEGAL manager Jim McGuinness said he was “delighted” his team came through a tough challenge against Cavan on Sunday. McGuinness’s side made hard work of this victory as they appeared to be cruising before allowing the Breffni men to battle back. However, they still managed to hold on for the victory and they remain […]
NEW year, new me! That line will be trotted out some amount of times over the next week or so when gyms are packed and GAA players are making themselves the promise that they will not take a drop of drink after NYE and be the best version of themselves for the season coming and never […]
1 Mickey says farewell and Raymond steps in MICKEY Graham did a commendable job at the Breffni County and decided to step down in the wake of their Tailteann Cup quarter-final defeat to Down after five years at the helm, a long enough stint by the standards of the modern-day intercounty scene. The highlight of his […]
