By Shaun Casey FOLLOWING their convincing nine-point win over Leitrim in the opening round of the Tailteann Cup, Antrim will be aiming to make it two from two when they travel to Wexford Park on Saturday evening. Three second half goals saw Andy McEntee’s side power to a convincing 3-18 to 2-12 victory, on home […]
By Mark McGoldrick FERMANAGH captain Declan McCusker said the Erne men have to learn from the second half performance on Sunday if they are to achieve their goal of coming top of their Tailteann Cup group. The Erne County appeared to be in cruise control at half-time, leading by six points, but they invited Wexford on […]
Body By Niall McCoy CAVAN goalkeeper Raymond Galligan has said that the pain of last year’s Tailteann Cup final defeat to Westmeath is providing the fuel for their assault on the 2023 competition.
