Cavan seeking a new manager as Raymond Galligan steps down
An Ulster-winning goalkeeper and captain in 2020, when he also won an All-Star, the Lacken Celtic clubman was a surprise appointment, going straight from the pitch to the sideline when he succeeded Mickey Graham.

He can be said to have experienced very hard luck in that his ten championship matches were against teams that will be playing division 1 football in 2026. Wins came against Mayo and Monaghan away from home, while they also took Tyrone to extra-time last year.
Galligan outlined his reasons to Paul Fitzpatrick in the Anglo-Celt newspaper, saying, 'Unfortunately I have had to step away due to work commitments. '
'I manage a very busy day centre in Rathfarnham for adults with intellectual disabilities and it has just reached a point where I can't commit myself fully to both roles, especially with all of the travelling involved and family commitments with two small children.
'I want to thank the players, the back room and the county board for all of their efforts and wish them all the very best of luck going forward.'

Seventh All-Ireland final beckons for Kerry's self-styled football outsider
MENTION TO JACK O'Connor that he is heading for his seventh All-Ireland final, and he throws it on to the players. 'This group have been in a few finals like. They were here in '22, '23…,' he begins. 'They were here in '19, sorry — '19, '22, '23 — so this will be their fourth final, most of those boys. 'Paul Murphy, Paul Geaney were there in '14. And '15. So there is a good bit of experience in the group, yeah.' And what it means, of course? 'Sure of course it counts. Where it counts more than anything is in the build-up to it. You know to avoid getting carried away in the euphoria of the thing, and keeping the main thing the main thing, if you know what I mean. 'Keeping your priorities right, and keeping the focus on arriving here in your best physical and mental condition. To play the game rather than the occasion.' If there is one thing he laments, in what he calls the 'old days', it was the month of a lead-in to the final. But that can't be helped either. The season starts with the bang of a gun and teams have to put their head down to make the early yards. There's barely a chance to get the head up and see where everyone else is. All you can do is take nothing for granted, and Tyrone are not a side that O'Connor has learned to take for granted. Advertisement O'Connor shakes hands with Peter Teague. Tom O'Hanlon / INPHO Tom O'Hanlon / INPHO / INPHO 'Tyrone had some big results that almost went under the radar. They beat Donegal above in Ballybofey, very few teams do that. I don't think it was picked up too much in the media,' said O'Connor. 'Beat Dublin here; I don't care what they say about Dublin, Dublin are still a hard team to beat here in Croke Park. They would have come into this game with a lot of confidence and there was lot a noise about our game, which meant Tyrone were coming in under the radar. 'I thought that showed early on. I thought, in the first 15 minutes, Tyrone were the better team. They settled quicker and had us in a lot of bother on breaking ball around the middle of the field. As soon as we got to terms with that, I thought the game changed and David's goal settled us.' The kickout count was heavily in Tyrone's favour before Kerry arrested that. In the second half, Tyrone simply couldn't cope. A good part of that was the man sitting beside O'Connor in the press briefing. Gavin White won three break balls from Niall Morgan's kickout in the third quarter alone. 'No better man than this man here,' said O'Connor of the Dr Crokes man. 'That was the thing that was killing us early on. There was a bit of a disconnect between Shane's kickouts and fellas getting to the pitch of the breaks. We spoke about that at half-time and that was a big factor in the second half.' This win was less of the Catherine Wheel spectacular of the win over Armagh, but it could have been even more impressive. It doesn't feel like a performance is being magicked up out of nowhere. 'It was a more rounded performance because I thought that spell against Armagh was a bit freakish. It was like they just couldn't get their kickout away and we kept the ball up that end of the field,' said O'Connor. David Clifford celebrates. James Crombie / INPHO James Crombie / INPHO / INPHO 'I think this was a more rounded performance because Tyrone are very big around the middle of the field, Kennedy and Kilpatrick are big men and they have a lot of targets, and Morgan has a serious weapon of a kickout. The two boys (O'Shea and O'Brien) plugged away great for most of the game, and then Joe finished up midfield and what a game Joe had. Powerful game, he is getting better all the time.' Kerry supporters have had all sorts of things thrown at them. Occasionally, outsiders paint a pretty vulgar picture of their assessments of players. But this team seem to be reaching for a deeper connection. You can see it in David Clifford most of all. He has been appealing for greater turnouts of fans, and when he plundered his first-half goal here, made a huge show of trying to raise the decibel level among the Kerry support. It's working. 'I mean it was no secret that Armagh seriously outnumbered us here at this stage last year,' said O'Connor. 'And I know I got stick for it but I said at the time that they were a factor in the game. And I don't think anyone could dispute that. '(The) Kerry crowd were a factor today big time. So delighted with that. The support travel in huge numbers. 'And long may it continue. I mean these boys are giving everything for the cause. And they're playing good football. So they deserve to be supported. And we're delighted that, you know, I don't have the language to describe it. 'But it's working both ways, you know. They're getting energy from the crowd. And the crowd are getting energy from the players.' Meanwhile, O'Connor noted at the end of his press conference that Paul and Conor Geaney, along with Tom O'Sullivan, will be in a position to make a contribution in the final. * Check out the latest episode of The42′s GAA Weekly podcast here

Liverpool to make ‘take-it-or-leave-it' offer for Marc Guehi as Crystal Palace defender has heart set on Reds transfer
LIVERPOOL will make a £40million 'take-it-or-leave it' offer to Crystal Palace for defender Marc Guehi. And that should have a great chance of landing the centre-half, who turns 25 today and has always held a big interest in going to Anfield. 2 Liverpool are set to bid a first, and final, offer of £40million for Marc Guehi Credit: Alamy Guehi was the Eagles' star attraction as the club launched their new kit yesterday, but champions The FA Cup-winning Guehi, who played 45 minutes in a behind-closed-doors friendly against Millwall yesterday, has never made a fuss over previous bids. And he will allow the clubs to sort out the fee without agitating. READ MORE IN FOOTBALL Insiders say Guehi is one of the most down-to-earth players and football is his priority over finance. Guehi is still on the five-year deal he signed when joining from Chelsea in 2021, ignoring new contracts and waiting for the right step up, with the Reds a favourite. Palace are not interested in swaps, despite the Kop's highly-rated Ben Doak, 19, and others being potentially available, as they need the cash to land replacements. Boss Oliver Glasner wants Palace chiefs to deliver TWO new defenders — and that will be a challenge. Most read in Football BEST FREE BETS AND BETTING SIGN UP OFFERS Sporting's Ousmane Diomande, 21, is Glasner's first choice but the Ivory Coast international is also in the same £40m range. That would mean the second newcomer has to be a loan — with a likely move to land Portugal star Tiago Djalo, 25, from Juventus. Marc Guehi forced to tell overexcited Crystal Palace team-mate to shut up in hilarious tunnel footage Palace are reeling from Uefa booting them out of the Europa League into the Conference because John Textor has a stake in both their club and French rivals Lyon. The demotion will also impact their budget — but the Eagles will appeal. 2

Kerry boss Jack O'Connor delights in being back in a seventh All-Ireland final
What a difference a fortnight makes. Kerry manager Jack O'Connor is no less happy to have beaten Tyrone in Saturday's All-Ireland semi-final than he was when champions Armagh were tumbled two weeks ago: 'Delighted,' he specifies. But he is a more upbeat, less recriminatory Jack than when taking issue with his team's treatment at the hands of Kerry pundits after the quarter-final, contentedly contemplating his seventh All-Ireland final – even though the season is now truncated. 'In the old days, it was three or four weeks to an All-Ireland final, but it'll be a great two weeks, you know, there's always a great buzz around the county so really looking forward to it now.' There may not have been the sturm und drang of the 15 minutes when Armagh were consigned to their championship exit by an unanswered 14-point barrage, but once again Kerry dominated and ran off a series of scores that effectively took the match away from Tyrone. READ MORE Once Darragh Canavan had cut the margin to a point in the 42nd minute, 0-13 to 1-11, the Ulster team didn't score again for 22 minutes by which stage they were eight points worse off on the scoreboard and embarking on the last few minutes of their 2025 season. It had started quite well for them and they led for most of the first quarter and were right in it until half-time. But Kerry had turned the tables with a 29th-minute goal by David Clifford , who would end the day with 1-9, and they were never headed again. A Kerry fan celebrates a score at Croke Park. Photograph: Ryan Byrne/Inpho O'Connor thought that the wind might have played a role in subduing Tyrone in that third quarter but he also pinpointed a much better performance from his team around the middle where the early imperium of Conn Kilpatrick was broken and Kerry's Joe O'Connor was named TV man-of-the-match for a dynamic display getting on ball and moving forward. 'What a game Joe had, you know, a powerful game and he's getting better ... all the time. 'We got to grips around the middle of the field – that was the big thing. No better man than this man here on a lot of breaks [he was sitting beside his captain Gavin White, who had played a big role in turning things around] and that was the thing that was killing us early on. 'I think there was a bit of a disconnect between Shane's kick-out and fellas getting to the pitch at the break, so we spoke about that at half-time and I think that was a big factor in the second half.' He acknowledged that the win could have been more emphatic, given the number of goal opportunities his team created. But a combination of poor finishing, inspired goalkeeping by Niall Morgan, and some desperate defensive interventions kept the score in check. 'I know, I know, two or three at the back post that looked like tap-ins: it's disappointing ... but at least we created the chances. Today we were creating goal chances. A dejected Kieran McGeary after Tyrone's defeat to Kerry at Croke Park. Photograph: Ryan Byrne/Inpho 'The last day we were creating two-point chances, but I think it's a sign of the team that they recognised what was in front of them and there was a bit more space inside this time. And they got the ball in and created those chances, but yeah, look, sure of course we could have had an easier afternoon if we converted a couple more.' White was asked about the challenge of playing in such hot weather – with on-field temperatures in the high 20s. 'Certainly, they were difficult conditions to play in so I suppose we were looking to try and keep the ball as much as we could, but everyone on our team was obviously trying to run the ball as best as they could. It was fairly warm out there at pitch level.' Malachy O'Rourke, as a former member of the FRC , whose rules modifications have played such a role in making the football championship the best in years, was able to accept ruefully that the additional space accorded to full forwards had been additionally challenging. But he had no excuses, demurring when asked to comment on his team's meagre free count in the first half. In general, he acknowledged that things hadn't worked as planned. 'Yeah, it was disappointing the way it got away from us. I suppose at half-time we felt we were right in the game. First half we played a lot of good football. We did well on both kick-outs. I suppose the downside of that was we gave away a wee bit of possession cheaply through our own efforts, unforced, and then Kerry put us under pressure at times. 'And then we were caught a wee bit at the back then, we left ourselves a wee bit bare at the back. And obviously David Clifford, we didn't give Paudie [Hampsey] enough cover at times, and David Clifford in particular was very prominent there.'
