Cavan name new senior football manager

Cavan GAA have announced that ex-inter-county player Michael Graham has been ratified as the new senior manager.

Graham will have players from the four-in-a-row Ulster u-21 title winners from 2011 to 2014 to back-bone the side who will enter 2019 looking for a first senior provincial crown since 1997.

The five-time All-Ireland champions were managed this year by Mattie McGleenan and were beaten in the Championship by Donegal and Tyrone but did secure qualifier wins against Wicklow and Down.
