By Niall Gartland GIVEN his youthful visage and his relatively late admission into the inter-county scene, it’s hard to believe Cavan footballer Oisin Kieran is already 30 years of age. 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.

1 Falling at the final hurdle ON the whole, it was a good year for the Cavan footballers. Mickey Graham’s side ensured their stint in Division Four was a short-lived one, and they added the league title with a one-point victory over Tipperary.

IT’S fair to say that 2022 won’t go down in the annals of Cavan hurling. They failed to win a single game in either league and championship, a disappointing and perhaps surprising outcome given they reached last year’s Lory Meagher final. Time will tell whether it’s the start of a trend, but Seamus Hughes, a […]
By Niall Gartland CAVAN through and through. Anthony Forde soldiered on for more than a decade after pocketing an Ulster Championship medal in 1997, possibly more in hope than in expectation, but he’s content enough when he looks back on it all. For one thing, Forde won plenty with Cavan Gaels during the lean years […]
