By Niall Gartland GOWNA have firmly established themselves as the leading team in Cavan football in recent years and now it’s up to them to show that they can duke it out with the big dogs in Ulster football. They retained their Cavan Senior Championship crown and did it in style with a thumping victory […]
By Michael McMullan CELEBRATING another visit of the Dr Maguire Cup was important to Martin Regan and Naomh Conaill but the focus is set on Sunday and date with Gowna. Mingling in each other’s pockets and the fans who back them all year was swapped for the training field by the Thursday night and it’s […]

By Katrina Brennan THE celebrations were cut shorter than expected at the players’ bequest and it was back to training last Wednesday night for the Gaels. With their first Fermanagh senior championship in 16 years secured, the Ulster Club Championship is somewhat unknown territory for this group of players. For their manager, Simon Bradley on the other hand, […]
By Niall Gartland BY a twist of fate Gowna’s last Ulster Championship match, 20 years ago this week, was against their upcoming opponents Enniskillen Gaels.
