Cavan boss Galligan steps down after two years in charge

BBC News6 days ago
Raymond Galligan has stepped down as Cavan senior football boss after two years at the helm. The Breffni County's former Ulster Championship-winning captain's departure was confirmed in a statement by Cavan on Monday afternoon. "Cavan GAA would like to put on record their appreciation and gratitude for the huge commitment and effort Raymond and his management have given to Cavan football," it read."We wish Raymond, his wife Niamh and their two young children the best in the future and thank you again from all in Cavan GAA."The former All-Star goalkeeper, who made 119 appearances for Cavan, succeeded Mickey Graham as manager ahead of the 2024 season. Last year, Cavan finished third in Division Two, lost to Tyrone after extra-time in the Ulster quarter-finals and failed to progress past the All-Ireland group stages. Following a fourth-place finish in Division Two this year, they again fell to Tyrone in the last eight of the Ulster series, but reached the All-Ireland preliminary quarter-finals after a shock round-robin win over Mayo in Castlebar.His last match in charge was the preliminary quarter-final loss to Kerry in Killarney last month. Galligan is the second managerial change in Ulster in recent weeks with Andy McEntee having stepped down as Antrim boss after three years in the role.

Chelsea v PSG live: Underdog Blues try to make history in Club World Cup final against European champions

Chelsea have a golden opportunity to become world champions this evening but there is a pretty big obstacle in their way, in the form of Champions League winners Paris Saint-Germain. A fascinating Club World Cup final in New York pits Enzo Maresca 's underdog Blues against a PSG side who look unstoppable, having demolished Inter Milan 5-0 at the end of May to clinch their first-ever Champions League crown and then thumping Real Madrid 4-0 last time out in the Club World Cup semi-finals for good measure. Chelsea have had a bumpy ride in the United States, overcoming one of the first shocks of the tournament – a 3-1 group stage loss to Flamengo – before seeing their last-16 tie with Benfica marred by a two-hour weather delay but bounced back and comfortably dispatched Fluminense in a dominant display at the semi-final stage. They now have a date with destiny at New Jersey's MetLife Stadium, as Luis Enrique 's incredibly impressive French and European champions stand in their way of an unlikely triumph and a huge payday. Noni Madueke leaves Club World Cup camp to complete Arsenal move, Enzo Maresca confirms Enzo Maresca has all but confirmed Noni Madueke's imminent switch Arsenal after revealing that the winger has left the Chelsea camp ahead of the Club World Cup final. Madueke looks set to become the latest player to swap blue for red in London after a £48.5m fee was agreed between the two clubs, with Chelsea giving him permission to undergo a medical. The 23-year-old will subsequently play no part in Chelsea's bid to become world champions as they take on Paris Saint-Germain in New Jersey on Sunday. 'Noni is in contact with the new club,' he told a press conference. 'I guess he is going to be (announced) in the next hours.'
