Working behind the counter of the butchers in Belturbet was 19-year-old Breffni forward Jason O'Reilly, and everybody wanted to talk to him. Many of the new wave, like Peter Reilly, Dermot McCabe, Anthony Forde and current manager Mickey Graham, played in the 1995 Ulster final loss to Tyrone. O'Reilly's fears were realised when he was handed the number 20 jersey for the Ulster final on 20 July 1997. "The goal I scored in that Ulster final turned out to be my most enjoyable goal, though I didn't know it at the time." The game was neatly poised at 0-9 each at half-time and it was all still there for Cavan when O'Reilly came on with around 15 minutes to go.
