1. First of all, Cavan had its very own beloved soft drink

Does Monaghan have its own mineral? We think not.

2. Cavan is also home to noted gourmand Neven Maguire and his fancy restaurant McNean House & Restaurant

Meanwhile, this is what happens when you look for a fancy restaurant in Monaghan.

4. Patrick Kavanagh never wrote a poem about how grim Cavan is

Meanwhile, he accused Monaghan’s stony grey soil of burgling his bank of youth and thieving the laugh from his love.

Cavan would have never burgled Kavanagh’s bank of youth. Cavan’s not like that.

5. Did we mention Cavan is home to acclaimed singer-songwriters Aine Cahill and Lisa O’Neill while Monaghan is home to… yep, Big Tom

Big Tom is a national treasure and all, but you know.

7. Cavan are also the only team in Ireland to have ever won an All-Ireland outside of Ireland

8. Cavan has the more badass GAA nickname, too

Who do you fear more?

The Breffni Men…

Or the frankly ridiculous-sounding Farney Army?

9. Cavan is also home to some of the country’s greatest dancers.

For example, this young lad.
