Damien O'Reilly

Damien O'Reilly is a former Gaelic footballer who played for the Cavan county team and was regarded as a versatile player who could line out in defence or as a forward. He helped Cavan reach the 1988 All-Ireland Under-21 Football Championship final, which they lost to Offaly, and he won a Dr McKenna Cup medal when Cavan beat Derry in the final. He was in the Cavan squad beaten in the 1996 Ulster final, and in 1997 he set up the winning goal for Jason Reilly as Cavan beat Derry in Clones to claim their first Ulster Senior Football Championship title in 28 years. He is perhaps best remembered for scoring an equalizing hooked point for Cavan against Donegal in 1992. With his club Mullahoran he won the Cavan Senior Football Championship in 1998.
