Coleman takes over Cavan footballers

Former All-Ireland winning Derry boss Eamon Coleman has been ratified as the new Cavan senior football manager following in a long line of outside appointments in the Breffni County.

Coleman, who lives in Cavan and manages county champions Gowna, takes over from Meath boss Mattie Kerrigan who achieved precious little success in his spell bar a place in last year's league final.
