Cavan v Kerry
Commiserations to the Cavan team and management on their exit from the All-Ireland race after a commendable defeat to Kerry on Sunday. Great progress has been made by the team in 2013, in both Ulster and the qualifier series. Their journey has renewed the hope and faith of every Cavan GAA supporter the world over and we look forward to what 2014 has in store. Integral to the team was the services of two of our clubmen - Ronan Flanagan and Cian Mackey. They both have been great ambassadors for our club during the campaign, putting in some great displays. We are immensely proud of them, well done lads. Congratulations to Cian who was awarded the BBC Man of the Match award for his performance against Kerry.
