On 2 October 2011, Drumgoon faced Crosserlough in the Cavan Intermediate final. Moynagh scored 3 points from play and was named man of the match after their one-point victory.[2]

University

As a student at Dublin City University, Moynagh joined the senior football team. On 21 February 2015, Moynagh was in the starting team that faced UCC in the Sigerson Cup final. Moynagh picked up his first Sigerson medal after a 1-14 to 2-10 win.[3]

On 20 February 2016, Moynagh was at centre-back for his second consecutive Sigerson final, this time against UCD. Moynagh scored a goal from a second half penalty but UCD were winners on a 0-10 to 2-2 scoreline.[4]

Minor and U-21

On 17 July 2011, Moynagh started for the Cavan minor team in the Ulster final against Armagh. Cavan were winners on a 0-12 to 1-6 scoreline.[5]

Moynagh joined the under-21 team in 2012. On 11 April, Moynagh started at centre-back against Tyrone in the Ulster final. An early goal helped Cavan to a 1-10 to 0-10 win.[6] On 21 April, Moynagh started in the All-Ireland semi-final against Roscommon, where Cavan lost by five points.[7]

Cavan played Donegal in the Ulster final in 2013, but Moynagh did not play through injury. Cavan were winners on a 0–13 to 1-6 scoreline.[8] Moynagh came on as a substitute in the All-Ireland semi-final against Cork on 20 April, where Cavan suffered a one-point loss.[9]

Moynagh was Cavan under-21 captain for the 2014 season.[10] Cavan played Donegal in the Ulster Final on 9 April. Moynagh received a black card in the first half, but he later accepted the cup after their 2-6 to 0-8 victory.[11] Cavan exited the championship after a controversial All-Ireland semi-final loss to eventual winners Dublin.[12]

Senior

Moynagh later joined the Cavan senior panel. On 4 July 2015 he made his championship debut as a substitute in a qualifier loss to Roscommon.[13]

On 23 June 2019, Moynagh started in his first senior Ulster Final, where Cavan faced Donegal. Moynagh scored a point from play but Cavan suffered a five-point defeat.[14] Cavan's championship ended with a defeat to Tyrone in the qualifiers.[15] Moynagh was nominated for an All-Star for the first time at the end of the season.[16]

Moynagh opted out of the Cavan panel ahead of the 2020 season as he was travelling the world.[17][18] As a result, he missed out on Cavan's Ulster Championship success.

Moynagh returned to training with Cavan ahead of the 2021 championship.[19] On 10 July Moynagh started in Cavan's Ulster championship loss to Tyrone.[20]
