Flanagan craving overdue Ulster success for Cavan

IF the record books were anything to go by nobody from Fermanagh would even bother with the short hop across the county border to Kingspan Breffni Park this evening.

Armagh and Tyrone may be the market leaders in Ulster this past decade but Cavan could go another generation without winning a single title and still be miles ahead in the provincial role of honour.

The county has claimed the Anglo-Celt Cup 39 times – Armagh are second with a dozen – and their five All-Ireland titles make them Ulster’s most successful side come September in Croke Park.
