Cavan senior hurlers will make a welcome return when they compete in the upcoming Lory Meagher Cup for the first time in six years.

Training has been going well over the past number of months and players and management are looking forward to the upcoming games, having played a number of challenge matches.

The team will be managed by Tipperary native and former player Dinny Cahill and Cootehill Celtic’s Seamus Hughes.

The first outing is next Saturday 22nd April 2pm in Kingspan Breffni when Cavan host Warwickshire.
