There are just four survivors from last year’s All-Ireland semi-final defeat by Dublin in the Kerry side to face IT Tralee in the McGrath Cup tomorrow.

Cavan retained their Ulster U21 football championship title with a battling display at Brewster Park last night.

The time-honoured tradition of lumping it into the full-forward line was all Cavan needed here at Brewster Park to reach their third Ulster U21 final in-a-row.

Cavan put their troubles at senior level behind them to advance to an Ulster U21FC semi-final in impressive fashion at Kingspan Breffni Park last night.

AT a time when Galway’s senior football stock has plummeted, the need to thrive at underage level has seldom been greater.

Cavan are set to field an unchanged team for Sunday's Cadbury All-Ireland Under-21 Football Championship final against Galway at Croke Park (throw-in 2pm).

CAVAN manager Terry Hyland believes his team’s remarkable Cadbury’s All-Ireland U21 FC campaign “deserves” to be rewarded with a maiden title.

CAVAN claimed their first Ulster U21 FC title since 1996 last night after Gearoid McKiernan inspired them to a deserved win at Brewster Park.
