By Shaun Casey OLLIE Bellew couldn’t have imagined a more difficult start to Cavan’s league campaign. An away day clash with Longford, who contested last years Lory Meagher Cup final, followed by Warwickshire who are just down from Division 3A. But the Breffni Blues battled against the odds on the opening day to come away […]

The Breffni County supporters outnumbered the Westmeath fans by a rough estimate of two to one […]
By Niall Gartland A PRODUCTIVE McKenna Cup campaign sets the backdrop for Cavan’s Division Three opener against Westmeath this Sunday.

Kieran grew up playing for St Brigid’s in Meath, but his parents are dyed in the wool Cavan people and it wasn’t long after moving […]
ULSTER’S inter-county season began with two Conor McGurk Cup Round 1 games on Tuesday night. Fermanagh were 3-17 to 0-11 winners over Cavan in Kingspan Breffni Park.
