By Niall Gartland THE Cavan footballers will be confident of maintaining their winning record when they take on Longford in Kingspan Breffni this Sunday.

Cavan bid to make it two from two
By Niall Gartland A BUMPER Cavan contingent travelled for their opening day league encounter away to Westmeath last weekend – so you’d imagine there’ll be an even stronger support base at Kingspan Breffni for this Sunday’s clash against Tipperary. The Breffni County supporters outnumbered the Westmeath fans by a rough estimate of two to one […]
Tough opener for Cavan in Tailteann re-run
By Niall Gartland A PRODUCTIVE McKenna Cup campaign sets the backdrop for Cavan’s Division Three opener against Westmeath this Sunday. It’s a tough opener – Westmeath narrowly missed out on promotion last year, finishing third in the table, and they got the better of the Breffni County when they met in the inaugural Tailteann Cup […]
Dara McVeety Back in blue
By Shaun Casey A LOT has changed in the short space of time since Dara McVeety traded in his football boots for a pair of sunglasses and headed Down Under to explore new ventures.

Review of the season – Cavan
