National League Final   

Hard luck to Cavan in Croke Park. Promotion was their biggest target this league season and  that has been achieved. The team  gave a strong performance but just came up short of a talented Tyrone team. It was a great day to be in Croke Park & the Cavan supporters came out in force. 1916 was celebrated with a spectacular 'Laochra' show. We wish the Cavan panel the best of luck with preparations for the championship.

Thanks to parents & team managers who made this possible.
