Cavan Gaels march on with the minimum of fuss again

The senior footballers of Cavan Gaels will take their places behind the band on county final day for the 12th successive season after they defeated a disappointing Ballinagh with the mimimum of fuss last Sunday at a wind-swept Breffni Park. There was a huge gulf between the teams on the day - Ballinagh had the benefit of the gale in the first half and couldn't make it count, while the Gaels, for whom the outstanding Martin Dunne kicked 2-5, were better in almost every sector.
