By Niall Gartland THE Cavan hurlers continue to make progress at a rapid pace and now stand on the brink of a place in the Division 3A final. It wasn’t that long ago that they didn’t even field a team at inter-county level – they went six years without one before rejoining the Lory Meagher […]
It’s a decade since Cavan completed their four-in-a-row of Ulster u-21 titles. Jack Brady looks back on how it impacted the county’s fortunes. Michael McMullan writes… MICKEY Graham, Dermot McCabe, Peter, Larry and Jason Reilly came within a late rally of the 1996 All-Ireland u-21 title. Graham’s goal levelled matters in Tom Semple’s field before […]
By Niall Gartland THE Cavan footballers were brought back down to earth with a bump with a bruising defeat to Armagh last weekend, so they’ll be hoping to prove a point to themselves in their find round league clash against Fermanagh this Saturday. Promotion is now an impossibility following their 2-21 to 0-12 loss to […]
By Shaun Casey AFTER their Division Three league title last season, few would have predicted that with two games left to play in the 2024 National League that Cavan would be one of three teams battling for promotion to the top flight. The poor form of Meath, Cork and Kildare, all expected to challenge at […]
By Shaun Casey IT’S essentially winner takes all in the BOX-IT Athletic Grounds this weekend as Armagh host Cavan with both teams needing victory to put themselves in the driving seat for promotion to Division One.

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: […]
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 […]
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. 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 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 […]
