Cavan break GAA’s winter training ban

CAVAN’S footballers were last night discovered as the first inter-county side to have broken the winter training ban after they arranged a practice game under lights at their 3G pitch at Breffni Park.

A couple of hours after the conclusion of the Ulster club SFC final at the Cavan town venue, the county’s senior footballers convened to participate in a game which featured a number of 2010 first team players including James Reilly and Cian Mackey.

The county’s new co-managers Val Andrews and Terry Hyland have not had an opportunity to run their players through their paces since their championship exit under Tommy Carr at the start of July.
