Ulster JFC/IFC 2026

[Armagh18]

Lacken won Cavan junior championship easily. No surprise with Thomas Galligan giving a Man of Match performance. Intermediate final is Denn v Butlersbridge.

Division 1 or Division 2?

Relegated from division 2 to division 3 this year.

But could potentially be Cavans strongest champion of recent years which further enforces the point that league means very little in Cavan.

Not this again!

Division 1 or Division 2?

Lacken Division 3 next year. Intermediate finalists one relegated to Division 3 next year and one promoted up from Division 3.

Understand this news may be devastating to some of you northern boys. Will have to find something else to bitch about. But I'm sure that won't be a problem.

[general_lee]

So they're Division 2. Thanks for answering that.

Stronger than Arva?

No Arva were stronger. Both similar stories though. Players injured and emigrated and relegated and then came back and won junior. But Arva were an all round better team with good youngsters.

Yeah a few things misaligned for Arva then realigned. Injuries, emigration. Top players came back at a time when some brilliant younger players were stepping up. But traditionally they'd be a Junior club.

Lacken deserve to be Junior but they are an Intermediate club. First time ever in their history they found themselves in Junior because of injuries and emigration coupled with failure to keep young players in the club. Amalgamation with Gowna at underage has really damaged the conveyor belt. They'll be a tough opponent but not sure if they're good enough to do an Arva. Think they'll find the going in Intermediate tough enough too for next few years.

Winter football might suit Lacken though - physical outfit.

Very true. A few Galligan 2 pointers would go a long way.

Has he been travelling or something this few years? Remember him in that covid year being a phenomenal player but hasn't played much for Cavan since?

It was actually the goalie Ray I was referencing. Yes Tomas his cousin is just back home. Was in Australia for a few years. Think he spent a bit of time in US this year too. His mum is American so assume he's fairly free to go in and out.
