Right, it’s time to begin the countdown to the Cork game. We’re playing them this coming Sunday at the Gaelic Grounds in Limerick in what’s an All-Ireland SFC group stage Round 3 clash. Down’s Paul Faloon is the ref and the match throws in at 2pm. It’ll be streamed live on GAAGO. Our task next Sunday is a straightforward one […]
We’re back in Championship action once again this coming weekend. Our Round 2 All-Ireland SFC group stage match against Louth is set to take place at Hastings Insurance MacHale Park on Sunday, where throw-in is 2pm. Cavan’s Noel Mooney is the ref and the match will be shown live on RTÉ. We’ve only ever played the Wee County once before […]
Okay, the Donegal game is now boxed away and so it’s onto our Round 7 match against Monaghan next Sunday. This one is back on home turf with throw-in at Hastings Insurance MacHale Park set for the earlier time of 1.45pm that afternoon, which will seem even earlier as the clocks will have gone forward the night before. Meath’s David […]
This coming weekend sees the fifth round of games in this year’s National League, with our Division One Round 5 fixture a top-of-the-table encounter with neighbours Roscommon. We’re currently tied at the division’s summit on six League points but we head to Dr Hyde Park ahead of them in the table by virtue of our better points difference. The match […]
It’s Tuesday night and so the time is ticking down rapidly to Saturday evening in Castlebar and the arrival of Tyrone. Our NFL Division One Round 4 match against them throws in at MacHale Park that evening at 7pm, Noel Mooney of Cavan will ref it and it’s being shown live on TG4. With three rounds of matches already played […]

Throw-in at the Dome is 7.30pm on Friday. Tickets – a […]
While the start of a new year is always the trigger for looking forward, one of my early January jobs here on the blog is to take a quick look back on the year just gone in terms of web traffic generated by the site. Here’s the traffic review for 2022. As the two graphs below illustrate so starkly, the […]
This is a job I should have done a while back but, for a number of reasons, it remained stubbornly on the to-do list. With the New Year all but here, though, it’s one I can’t put off any longer. Which means I’ve now, at last, shifted the 2022 results page into the blog’s results archive (here) where it becomes […]
As everyone surely knows by now, our Round 1 qualifier clash with Monaghan this day week will be the first ever meeting between our two counties in the Championship. We only met them competitively for the first time as recently as 1981 and they’re a team we’ve played just twenty times in competitive fixtures, the bulk of those in recent […]
