Cavan men target net profits

It was bound to happen. Just as all good things must come to an end, so too must the bad ones and so it was that Brendan Fitzpatrick on March 28 ended a barren goal streak in the league for Cavan that stretched back to last spring.

In all, almost 700 minutes of football had been played before they found the net for the first time in the NFL since their win over Longford last year. The goal in that game came from a penalty. Fitzpatrick bridged a gap of close to 800 minutes to their last from play in the league.

Naturally, statistics likes “goals scored” pale in comparison to the almighty “W”. Terry Hyland made the same point during the league as he brushed off the lack of goals. However, he can’t ignore a trend that has developed for his team in the province.
