‘We were written off completely, we were given no chance' – Galway camogie boss Cathal Murray basks in ‘sweetest' victory

There is no greater motivation in Gaelic games than being written off, and Galway lapped up every ounce of it before unleashing one of the great All-Ireland camogie final performances as Cork's three-in-a-row dreams went up in smoke.

Top dogs to underdogs: what drove this year's All-Ireland winners

If there's one general takeaway from the four senior All-Ireland finals we have witnessed over the past month it is that hell hath no fury like a former champion spurned. All four 2025 champions had been to the mountaintop before. Indeed had Kerry held on against the greatest football team of all-time (or at least the joint greatest, to give Micko's team of All Talents their fair dues) and thwarted Dublin's historic five in a row, each of this year's winners would also have been the champions of 2019.

Cavan get their man as Dermot McCabe leaves Westmeath for Breffni county

Dermot McCabe has left his managerial role with Westmeath to take over in the Cavan hot-seat for a three year term following ratification at a Cavan county management meeting tonight. The Gowna clubman, who played with Cavan from 1995 to 2009, and is the county's GAA Head of Games, will take over immediately, subject to ratification by the county committee, and he succeeds Raymond Galligan in the post. The post was expected to be between McCabe and Finbar O'Reilly, but the latter withdrew from the process prior to the duo's scheduled interviews on Saturday.

McCabe played in the 1995 Ulster SFC final defeat to Tyrone and helped Cavan reach the 1996 All-Ireland under-21 final, then won the Ulster final with the Breffni men in '97, becoming Cavan's second-ever All-star in the process At club level, he won six senior county championships with Gowna. After his playing retirement, McCabe went on to fulfil several roles for Cavan at inter-county level. "Dermot has been part of many successful management teams at club and county level," read a Cavan statement. "In 2011, he was an integral part of the Cavan minor team management when they won the Ulster Championship. "In 2020, Dermot was also part of the management team that won the Ulster Senior Football championship having reached the final in 2019. "His home club Gowna won two Cavan SFC championships with Dermot again being an integral part of the management team. "Dermot's backroom team will be finalised in due course. We wish Dermot, his team and the panel the very best and look forward to the 2026 season and in the years ahead."
