Micheal Lyng aiming to be first Cavan clubman to lift Ulster title

A quick glance around the club dressing-rooms of Cavan tells Micheal Lyng all he needs to know about the value of what’s on offer in Sunday’s AIB Ulster club SFC final.

It is 40 years since Cavan Gaels last made it to a provincial decider, losing to Antrim side St John’s. Kingscourt and Bailieboro have tried since, but the Ulster championship has pretty much been a barren wasteland for Breffni clubs.

Lyng, who hopes to captain the side against Slaughtneil, fitness permitting, senses this is a once-in-a-career opportunity.
