Tremendous Win

St Tiernach’s Park in Clones was the place to be for all Cavan GAA supporters last Sunday as the Breffni Blues recorded a narrow but well-deserved win over the Royals of Meath in the Round 3 Championship Qualifier. Cavan had heroes on every line on what was a memorable afternoon for the county, but surely the greatest display of all came from the evergreen midfielder Dermot McCabe.

While the banners draped across the Diamond and Fermanagh Street on Sunday proudly acclaimed the recent achievements of local hero Kevin McBride, the man in the blue number 8 jersey was laying an equally strong claim to the title of ‘the Clones Colossus’ with one of his finest games ever in the Cavan colours. With a bit of luck, we might well see Dermot and his Breffni team-mates taking the field in Croke Park in the next couple of weeks and after that who knows what might happen!!
