Cavan-Donegal TV info, throw-in time and more for All-Ireland football clash
Group 1 also contains Tyrone and Mayo who lock horns this Saturday. By the time these two teams throw in, the situation will be clear in the group.
It's been a while since these teams last met, with the 2022 Ulster semi-final being the last time they clashed.
Donegal won by six that day, with goals from Paddy McBrearty and Conor O'Donnell proving decisive.
Cavan are fresh off a massive win against an admittedly abject Mayo side, winning by three points when it could have and maybe should have been more.
Donegal will need to strike back with venom after Jim McGuinness' first loss in Ballybofey to Tyrone last weekend.
Here's what you need to know about the big game:
Sunday, June 1.
Breffni Park in Cavan.

Ger Brennan management team set to include Dean Rock and Denis Bastick
New Dublin manager Ger Brennan's coaching ticket is set to include former team-mates Dean Rock and Denis Bastick. Brennan was appointed to succeed Dessie Farrell last week on a three-year term. Dublin GAA announced the two-time All-Ireland winner last week with his backroom team to be confirmed in due course. It is understood that is set to include former midfielder Denis Bastick, who retired in 2018. Bastick won five All-Ireland senior titles during his county career. Ballymun Kickhams man Dean Rock retired after the 2023 campaign. He won eight All-Ireland senior titles and three All-Stars. Brennan's long-time advisor Professor Niall Moyna is also expected to be involved. Moyna was part of the Louth coaching team last year as Brennan steered them to their first Leinster crown in 68 years. The DCU Health and Human Performance man was part of the backroom team for the 2011 All-Ireland triumph. Dublin's appointment, as well as the confirmation of Andy Moran in Mayo and Paul Madden in Clare, means that the number of counties with vacancies now stands at four: Roscommon, Waterford, Antrim and Westmeath are still in the hunt. Kevin O'Brien is the new Westmeath senior hurling manager. File picture: Ramsey Cardy/Sportsfile Elsewhere, Kevin O'Brien was officially ratified as the new Westmeath senior hurling manager on Tuesday night at a County Committee meeting. O'Brien previously managed the county's U20s and replaces Seoirse Bulfin, who stepped down in June after only one season in charge. The new boss was handed a two-year term with the option of a third. Westmeath were relegated last season to Division 2 of the Allianz Hurling League and finished fourth in the Joe McDonagh Cup. Westmeath chairman Frank Mescall expressed his frustration at how the process was covered in the media. Several names were linked to the role in recent weeks. 'I Am really disappointed that the whole process seemed to play out on media - social media, newspapers. How it happens, I do not know. But almost everything we did was on social media. It is fine for the person who gets the job, they won't mind. But you have other people involved who are not successful and you have to be respectful of them,' he said, as reported by the Westmeath Examiner.

Cork coach Kevin Walsh's intentions becoming clear as John Cleary looks to 2026
Kevin Walsh is set to continue coaching the Cork footballers for another season. The former Galway and Sligo boss has worked under manager John Cleary for the past three seasons and all indications are that he will stay in the role for the 2026 campaign, reports. Cleary completed a three-year term with this year's All-Ireland preliminary quarter-final defeat to Dublin having initially taken on the role on a caretaker basis during the 2022 season after incumbent Keith Ricken took ill. He was handed a fresh two-year term last week despite the team failing to kick on having exited at the preliminary quarter-final stage for the second successive season after reaching the last eight in 2023. However, there were some signs of encouragement, particularly in the Munster semi-final against Kerry, which the eventual champions went on to win after extra time, while Cork were in the ascendancy for much of that preliminary quarter-final against Dublin before slipping to a three-point defeat. The acquisition of Walsh was seen as something of a coup for Cleary given how he had progressed Sligo and particularly his native Galway during his spells in as manager in both counties, though the length of the commute has raised questions as to how sustainable it would be for the two-time All-Ireland winning midfielder, whose services would be in demand closer to home. However, it appears as though the management team is remaining largely intact as Cork gear up for another season in Division Two next year. Along with Walsh, Cleary also had Micheál Ó Cróinín, James Loughrey, Barry Corkery and Jim O'Donoghue on the ticket. Meanwhile, there is still no firm indication around whether hurling manager Pat Ryan will continue in the job after the devastating All-Ireland final loss to Tipperary. The 16-point defeat last month officially brought his three-year term to a close though it is believed that there is an appetite among the county board executive to grant him another season if he wants it. This year Ryan guided Cork to their first League title since 1998 and bridged a seven-year gap to their last Munster title, but the season has been largely coloured by their spectacular second half collapse in the All-Ireland final, and whether the Sarsfields man is prepared to soldier on in the wake of that disappointment remains to be seen.

'If you aren't on it on the day, it's goodbye' - Errigal Ciarán coach Horisk on cutthroat Tyrone championship
Errigal Ciaran are getting ready to defend their Tyrone and Ulster titles, but coach Paul Horisk has warned that both will be gone in a flash if they are not at the top of their game at all times. The beaten All-Ireland finalists face an in-form Ardboe side in the opening tie of the county championship, with the losers to be the first to exit the 2025 series – no second chances in Tyrone's traditional knock-out format. 'It's all about where you are on the day, and if you aren't on it on the day, it's goodbye,' said Horisk. 'That's where everybody is, and that's where we are as well.' Ardboe's league form has been impressive, and includes a 1-21 to 2-14 win over Errigal back in June. The lough shore side will fancy their chances of dethroning the champions at O'Neill Park in Dungannon on Thursday September 11. 'We played them down in Ardboe, and I thought their pace was just electric. They have a very energetic and lively middle third, and we'll have a tough enough challenge, but we're there to give it a good rattle.' A busy league schedule has been cranked up this week, with each team in action three times in the space of nine days, placing heavy demands on players and raising concerns over the potential for injuries in the run-up to the championship. Errigal lost midfielder Eoin Kelly to a season-ending cruciate ligament rupture in their clash with Moortown on Tuesday evening, carving out a 1-17 to 2-8 win despite opting to rest a number of first choice players, including Darragh Canavan, Peter Harte and Ben McDonnell. 'It's very unfortunate for Eoin, he has been going really well, and I'm really disappointed for him,' said Horisk. 'But players in general prefer to be playing football than training, so whilst there are two or three games in the space of a week, it's better than training. It builds a bit of momentum for everybody, and it's about getting through them and getting the legs going and get the bodies right.' The most competitive club championship in the country is just four weeks away, and Horisk feels the anticipation and excitement building ahead of what is expected to be another thrilling festival of football. 'It's amazing to think that it has come around so quickly. I suppose everybody was in the Tyrone bubble for a long time, and now we have a number of league games and we're now coming down the strait towards championship. 'It's what everybody trains for all year, and everybody is well and truly ready for it, or as ready as they can be. 'From a supporters point of view, they're all looking forward to it around the whole county, everybody is talking about it, any club you go to, it's the first thing off their lips, even at under-age games we have gone to. 'We're as ready as we can be, but it will do no harm to get another few league games under the belt.' It's 20 years since any club has successfully defended the O'Neill Cup, a chilling statistic that highlights the enormity of the task facing champions Errigal. 'It hasn't been done in a long time, and that's all about the competition there is in Tyrone, and that's why people travel from all over to watch Tyrone football. 'We definitely don't take it for granted, the boys are just looking forward to getting back out again. 'They had a bit of a break over winter and back to the grindstone. We're lucky to be where we are, and we have Ardboe in the first round, and that's as far as we can look.'
