By Katrina Brennan ‘CHARACTER’, ‘focus’ and ‘performance’ – they are just a few of the keywords Fermanagh manager Kieran Donnelly used as he reflected on the Westmeath game and looks ahead to Cavan this weekend. Fermanagh once again showed great character to stave off a second half Westmeath comeback and keep themselves in promotion contention. A win or […]
By Michael McMullan CAVAN may have secured promotion ahead of Sunday’s visit of Fermanagh but Mickey Graham insists his side must right the wrongs of their defeat to Antrim on Saturday. The Breffni County were 10 points adrift before goals from Paddy Lynch and Conor Madden brought them back into contention. It was too late […]
By Michael McMullan CAVAN star Dara McVeety wasn’t risked in Saturday’s defeat to Antrim and manager Mickey Graham insists the Crosserlough man is “fine” with championship the main focus. After starting all nine games this season since a return from Australia, McVeety wasn’t listed in the matchday squad. The only two minutes of action he […]
By Michael McMullan IT’S out of the frying pan and into the fire for Andy McEntee’s Antrim side this weekend as they welcome high-flying Cavan to Corrigan Park.

By Niall Gartland IT would be a sweet way to hit the century mark for Cavan. Padraig Faulker is set to clock up his 100th appearance for the Breffni County in the coming weeks – and it’s almost guaranteed to happen in the Division Three final in the first weekend of April. Cavan have found […]
By Michael McMullan CAVAN’S promotion charge has been picking up momentum but manager Mickey Graham stresses his side are living in the moment. Speaking to Gaelic Life ahead of this weekend’s all-Ulster clash with Down, Graham made the comment how quickly football can change. One victory can turn a season previously “going poorly” and an […]
By Shaun Casey THERE’S been nothing easy with Down in recent weeks. Their revival under Conor Laverty was halted momentarily thanks to Sean Quigley’s late goal in round three but their win over Westmeath last weekend keeps them well and truly in the hunt for promotion. Laverty’s side trail Cavan and Fermanagh at the top […]
AS the league heads into another crucial weekend, Michael McMullan takes a glance at the 2023 progress of all nine Ulster counties… (1) Derry RORY Gallagher’s men have left themselves on the same track as last year in their hope of promotion. The Oakleafers have notched an average of two points more than their opening […]
By Michael McMullan CAVAN manager Mickey Graham says Gearóid McKiernan may see action before the end of the league with the priority of having him fully ready for the championship. The Breffni County are out on Saturday, April 22, against the winners of Armagh and Antrim and Graham said his talisman is “not far away” […]
