By Niall Gartland CAVAN hurling boss Ollie Bellew is hoping to see a marked improvement from his side when they take on Fermanagh in their round two Lory Meagher clash this weekend. While the Breffni County got their campaign off to a winning start with a four-point win over Warwickshire last weekend, Bellew sensed that […]
By Niall Gartland THE Cavan hurlers continue to make progress at a rapid pace and now stand on the brink of a place in the Division 3A final. It wasn’t that long ago that they didn’t even field a team at inter-county level – they went six years without one before rejoining the Lory Meagher […]
By Niall Gartland THE Cavan hurlers are relishing the opportunity to have a crack at Mayo this Sunday, and why not, says their justifiably optimistic manager Ollie Bellew. The Breffni Boys are in their first ever season operating in Division 3A and so far they’ve done themselves proud, losing narrowly on their first day out […]
By Niall Gartland CAVAN will hope to pick up their first league win at the second time of asking when they host Louth at Kingspan Breffni on Saturday afternoon.

By Niall Gartland CAVAN hurling manager Ollie Bellew has decided to do things a little differently this year as they gear up for their first ever Division 3A campaign.

By Shaun Casey DERRY can reach this season’s Christy Ring Cup final this weekend if they overcome Mayo, who sit at the bottom of the table with zero points to show from their four outings. Derry’s two-point win away to London last weekend means that their fate is all in their own hands ahead of […]
BY KIERAN LYNCH CAVAN face Leitrim this Saturday with the prospect of obtaining a place in the Lory Meagher final at stake, if they can get the win. Often seen as one of hurling’s lower lights, Cavan have enjoyed a very promising season in 2023, as they claimed the National Hurling League Division 3B title […]
By Niall Gartland RACKING up more than 100 appearances for your county is a remarkable accomplishment by any measurement, but especially so when your county didn’t even field a team for a number of years. Cavan goalkeeper Darren Sheridan has achieved just that, recently crossing the 110-barrier for the county’s senior hurling inter-county team, even […]
By Shaun Casey HURT can often be a major driving force inside a changing room and Cavan manager Ollie Bellew makes no bones about it. Losing to Warwickshire in the opening round of the Lory Meagher Cup hurt his Breffni Blues, and that drove them to overcome rivals Monaghan last weekend. They face another difficult […]
By Kieran Lynch CAVAN are hoping to build upon their Division 3B success, and carry that winning momentum into their Lory Meagher campaign, which begins this weekend. The Breffni men defeated Leitrim 0-17 to 0-16 in the league final, and manager Ollie Bellew said that it was a ‘privilege’ to be part of such a […]
