Confidence high for Cavan game

Holders eye final spot
THE WEXFORD Intermediate camogie team are within one victory of a place in the National League Division 2 final following a comprehensive win over Galway in St. Patrick's Park, Enniscorthy, on Saturday afternoon last.

Murphy's magical strike seals victory
