By Niall Gartland WHAT a difference a week makes. Cavan will travel to Westmeath this Sunday with a renewed sense of optimism after they belatedly claimed their first league win in last weekend’s encounter against Louth. The discourse surrounding the Cavan set-up has been palpably negative following back-to-back defeats to Kildare and Louth. Well, supporters […]
By Michael McMullan CAVAN manager Raymond Galligan has put his faith in the same team for Sunday’s game with Meath (Páirc Tailteann). The Breffni blues lost last week to Monaghan with the Royals also looking for a first win after going under to Cork in Round One. Galligan is still without Gearóid McKiernan who has […]
By Niall Gartland RAYMOND Galligan’s Cavan are bidding to get up and running at the second time of asking when they travel to Navan to take on Meath on Sunday, but they’ll need to improve if they’re to move towards achieving promotion out of Division Two. They lost out in a high-scoring match against Monaghan on […]
By Niall Gartland CAVAN host Monaghan in their first competitive outing of the new season in Saturday’s Division Two clash at Kingspan Breffni, but they aren’t coming in cold after a useful run of challenge games in recent weeks. Raymond Galligan’s side clocked up plenty of miles as they travelled to Kerry, Derry and Donegal, […]
1 Mixed results for the Cavan footballers THE first year of Raymond Galligan’s tenure in charge of the Cavan senior intercounty football team certainly had its moments. They finished third in Division Two – behind Donegal and Armagh, which is nothing to be embarrassed about – and then they claimed a memorable win over their familiar foes […]
By Michael McMullan CAVAN manager Raymond Galligan has recalled Gearóid McKiernan to the Cavan squad ahead of the 2025 season, Gaelic Life can confirm. The Cavan Gaels player wasn’t of the plans in Galligan’s first season but is back on board. It comes after a similar move in Donegal where former star Michael Murphy has […]
CAVAN have announced two changes to their starting line-up ahead of Saturday’s third and final group stage match against Roscommon, a game they have no choice but to win if they’re to progress in the competition. Their usual net-minder Gary O’Rourke returns in place of Liam Brady, who played in their heavy defeat to Dublin […]
By Niall Gartland IN a sense it’s all gone according to script, but the events of the last few weeks will no doubt have caused considerable consternation for fans of the Breffni County. It’s hardly the shock of the century that it’s come to this, Cavan’s All-Ireland campaign hinging on their third and final group […]
By Niall Gartland CAVAN GAA commentator Damien Donohoe believes that supporters shouldn’t throw the baby out with the bathwater after a disappointing showing against Mayo in the first round of the All-Ireland group stages. Raymond Galligan’s side slumped to a 0-20 to 1-8 defeat is what was by far their poorest showing in the championship arena […]
By Niall Gartland THROWING caution completely to the wind mightn’t be the wisest idea, but Cavan legend Damien O’Reilly wants to see the Breffni County have a proper crack at it in their first foray into the new All-Ireland round robin series. Cavan have been pitted in what could be justifiability termed a group of […]
