Cavan set to probe Oxegen claims

CAVAN GAA chiefs are set to investigate claims members of the county senior football squad attended the Oxegen music festival the night before they exited the All-Ireland qualifier series against Wicklow.

There has been speculation in the county since their Round 2 qualifier loss on July 11 that some Cavan players went to the concerts in Punchestown, Kildare on Friday July 10, before travelling to Aughrim the following day for the qualifier game.

The match proved a major disappointment for Cavan as they crashed to a 1-12 to 0-8 defeat ending their interest in this year’s championship.
