BREAKING: Cavan v Donegal WILL go ahead this evening

Paul Fitzpatrick

Cavan's clash with Donegal in Division 1 of the NFL will go ahead at 7pm this evening as scheduled, it has been confirmed.

The Blues' tussle with Rory Gallagher's men was thought to be in doubt after heavy rainfall in recent days left the pitch at Kingspan Breffni Park in danger of being waterlogged.

However, hard work by the groundsmen and drier conditions this morning has saved the day.

The board has confirmed that the pitch passed an inspection and the game will go ahead.

Meanwhile, Mattie McGleenan and his management team have named the panel for this the clash.

There are three changes in the starting 15 from the one which lined out against Monaghan. Raymond Galligan and Michael Argue return to the side having recovered from injury and Conor Madden gets his first league start having come on in both of our league games against Dublin and Monaghan.
