McGeeney names side for Cavan visit


ARMAGH manager Kieran McGeeney has named his side for Saturday’s NFL clash with Cavan at the BOX-IT Athletic Grounds (5pm). The Orchard County can take a step closer to promotion if they can see off Raymond Galligan’s side. The other unbeaten team, Donegal, are in action at the same time against Kildare in Carlow. Armagh: […]


Cavan hoping to keep the pressure on top two


By Niall Gartland THERE’S very little room for error in Division Two so neither Cavan or visitors Meath can afford to fall short in Saturday’s league encounter at Kingspan Breffni. Cavan sit third in the table while Meath hover close by in fourth position, but the way things are going, any more dropped points could spell […]


Keeping the family together


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 […]


A winnable tie as Breffni make the trip to Cork


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 […]


First home tie of new season for Breffni hurlers


By Niall Gartland CAVAN will hope to pick up their first league win at the second time of asking when they host Louth at Kingspan Breffni on Saturday afternoon. The Breffni County played out a massively entertaining contest in their first Division 3A clash away to Sligo last weekend but ultimately fell short on the […]


Galligan’s Cavan starting to take shape


By Niall Gartland CAVAN produced a massively encouraging performance in their first league game of the Raymond Galligan era, but it could be difficult to pick up a head of steam if they don’t put their best foot forward at home to Donegal this Sunday. The Breffni County were full value for their victory over […]


Hard work key component for new-look Cavan ladies


By Niall Gartland CAVAN ladies manager Micheál O’Rourke is delighted with the application of his players as they ready themselves for their third-round league clash against an imperious looking Kildare side this weekend. It’s O’Rourke’s first season at the helm and it’s already been challenging in one respect as the vast majority of last year’s […]


Breffni County hoping for stable league campaign


By Niall Gartland ONE thing’s for sure, when it comes to Cavan football and the National Football League, at least in recent times, it’s rarely ever boring. You have to go all the way back to 2015 for the last time they’ve avoided either being relegated or promoted, a remarkable statistic and you’d wager that […]


Galligan enjoying time as Breffni boss


By Shaun Casey IT was in late September when the white smoke rose in Cavan to signify that they’d finally found their man to take charge of the county team after Mickey Graham had stepped aside after five years of service. Goalkeeper Raymond Galligan retired from playing and traded his goalkeeping gloves and kicking tee for […]


Arva crowned All-Ireland Junior champions


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 […]
