O’Mara defends Cavan’s ‘most horrible’ style

Alan O’Mara has insisted Cavan will ignore jibes about their style and keep playing to their strengths as they aim to turn success at U21 level into trophies on the senior stage.

Joe Brolly last month accused Cavan of playing “the most horrible, defensive football the game has ever seen”, even going as far as warning people not to go and see them play.

Keeper O’Mara was part of a Cavan side that scored 1-22 in knocking Brolly’s Derry out of the championship in 2013 and says neither he nor his team-mates are bothered about the negative comments.
