By Niall Gartland RAYMOND Galligan made a surprise exit as Cavan senior intercounty boss earlier in the week, and one of his right-hand men, legendary Tyrone footballer Stephen O’Neill, says that he’s left the county in a good place. O’Neill was forwards’ coach during Galligan’s two-year tenure, a stint where they suffered some bruising championship […]
FOLLOWING two years in charge, Raymond Galligan has announced with immediate effect his decision to step down as Cavan senior football team manager, citing work and family commitments.

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.

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 […]
By Niall Gartland CAVAN have a worrying spread of injuries heading into their final round Division Two clash at home to Cork this Sunday.
