By Michael McMullan THREE words creep up and up again when Cavan Gaels joint-manager Mark Greaney picks through a magical weekend. Joy. There is the absolute joy of winning the Ulster junior title and making history as the first Cavan team to have their name etched on the trophy. Relief. That’s always going to be […]
By Michael McMullan CAVAN Gaels have a winner-takes-all clash with Killygarry on Sunday afternoon as the senior race heads towards the knock-out stages. Declan McCoy’s side secured a much-needed win over Castlerahan, with the Shehu brothers to the fore, after coming up short in their first two games against unbeaten Gowna and Kingscourt. The Dromintee […]

By Michael McMullan THE first piece of silverware of 2024 will be hoisted into the Belfast sky on Monday. The minor footballers of Cavan Gaels and Four Masters are the envy of every other club in Ulster as their buses nose into the St Paul’s complex. Four Masters have never won the prestigious competition and […]
By Michael McMullan MAYOBRIDGE minors will need to improve on their quarter-final performance, insists joint manager Francie Poland. The Down champions were 1-7 to 1-5 winners over St Paul’s and now face Cavan Gaels on St Stephen’s Day (Shaw’s Road, 1pm). When St Paul’s hit their goal midway through the second half, Poland had the […]
By Mark McGoldrick IRVINESTOWN manager Shane McDermott is expecting a very difficult task when his side take on Cavan Gaels in the quarter-final of the St Paul’s Ulster Minor Club tournament.
