Cavan GAA

Tyrone claimed the Ulster U20 football championship on Friday night, and some individual brilliance from Ruairi Canavan was central to the Red Hand's ...

For most of us, it's the first thing we've won with Tyrone. First bit of silverware most of us boys have won - there's a few under-17s from last year. With just under ten minutes to go in the U20 Ulster final, Tyrone lead Cavan by just one point. With the final against Cavan balanced on a knife edge, the opening moments of the second half were crucial. Canavan spoke to TG4 after the game, and said that the Tyrone squad would savour the Ulster crown, a trophy that was the first intercounty silverware for many of the squad. Canavan was ultimately awarded man of the match for his efforts, as he played a pivotal role in dragging Tyrone to the provincial crown.

Cavan's second half blitz was too much for Antrim to handle as Mickey Graham's side strolled to an easy win in the Ulster quarter-final at Corrigan Park.

With all of the build-up surrounding the 'Corrigan Park or nowhere' saga before this Ulster tie between Antrim and Cavan, even the neutrals were fascinated ...

"Antrim have been steamrolled by Cavan in the closing stages. The first half was peppered by Breffni attacks, but they were poor in the final third and a big burst from Antrim at the end of the half meant Mickey Graham's side only went in a point up at the interval. With all of these variables in mind, and of course the fact that Antrim were having their first home championship game in over a decade, many were pipping those in amber to succeed today.
