By Shaun Casey THERE aren’t too many tougher tasks than heading to Killarney to take on a wounded Kerry and former Cavan footballer Ciaran Brady hopes the Breffni man can play with pride for that famous blue jersey. Raymond Galligan’s men are coming in off the back of two chastising defeats to Ulster foes Donegal and […]
Lynch named to start against Tyrone
June 13, 2025
THERE are two changes to the starting line-up for the Cavan team that will face Tyrone on Sunday in their final round clash at Brewster Park. Two key attacking players, Paddy Lynch and Oisin Brady have been named to start, while Sean McEvoy and Oisin Kiernan drop to the subs bench. That comes with the […]
KEVIN CASSIDY: It’s open season
May 22, 2025
BEFORE Donegal and Tyrone have even kicked a ball in the All-Ireland series, it has been blown wide open. Last weekend’s result in Castlebar now means that anything is possible in this group and we could see one of the big guns exit the competition a lot earlier than they would have wanted. Let’s just […]
Cavan name team for Tyrone clash
April 11, 2025
CAVAN manager Raymond Galligan has named his team for Sunday’s Ulster SFC clash with Tyrone in Omagh. There is no place in the matchday panel for Paddy Lynch who has been ruled out with injury. Jason McLoughlin and Dara McVeety are the two changes from the league game with Cork, with Luke Fortune and Cian […]
Lynch ruled out of Tyrone match
April 10, 2025
By Niall Gartland CAVAN forward Paddy Lynch ‘won’t be in contention’ to make his return to the field of play for Sunday’s Ulster Championship opener against Tyrone, states manager Raymond Galligan. Lynch sustained a season-ending ACL injury in training at the tail-end of last April, just days after playing in Cavan’s Ulster Championship defeat after […]
Cavan hoping to end their Red Hand hoodoo
April 7, 2025
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 of the last four decades. You have to spool the tape all the way back to 1983 for the […]
Cavan’s Brady is set to miss Cork game through injury
March 20, 2025
By Niall Gartland CAVAN have a worrying spread of injuries heading into their final round Division Two clash at home to Cork this Sunday. A number of mainstays of their team – Oisin Kiernan, Jason McLoughlin, Darragh Lovett, Conor Madden and Killian Clarke – sat out their highly impressive win over Roscommon last weekend because of injury, […]
In-form Breffni gunning for four in-a-row
March 15, 2025
By Niall Gartland CAVAN’S streak of three straight victories means they still have a slim chance of promotion as they look ahead to their penultimate Division Two clash against Roscommon this Sunday. Barring an incredibly unlikely chain of events, the Breffni County secured their Division Two safety in a hugely entertaining win over Down nearly […]
Cavan pick up steam
February 28, 2025
By Niall Gartland THERE’S nothing like a few wins to satiate supporters and Cavan have certainly turned things around in the space of a few short weeks. After back-to-back defeats to Monaghan and Meath, Raymond Galligan’s team had nothing to show for their efforts heading into their round three match against Louth. But they won […]
Cavan hope to make it back-to-back wins
February 22, 2025
By Niall Gartland WHAT a difference a week makes. Cavan will travel to Westmeath this Sunday with a renewed sense of optimism after they belatedly claimed their first league win in last weekend’s encounter against Louth. The discourse surrounding the Cavan set-up has been palpably negative following back-to-back defeats to Kildare and Louth. Well, supporters […]
