Rumours are abound that there will be a double team of John Maughan and Tommy Carr. A Little known fact is that Tommy Carr is a native Mayo man. he was born there before moving to Dublin as a child. They were also best man at each others wedding.

Tommy Carr is a native of Holycross, Co Tipp. His brother Declan captained Tipp hurlers.

and hopefully Pat Flanagan as trainer(if Dessile Dolan snr as we expect will get the Westmeath job)

You're thinking of a different Pat Flanagan entirely.

Kingscourt 1-14
Redhills 0-10

Kingscourt Stars booked thier places in the quarter-finals of the SFC with a comfortable win over Redhills.
A superb goal from Man of the Match Bary Reilly in the first half propelled the Stars into a five-point half-time lead but Redhills, spurred on by the excellent Packie Leddy at midfield, made a game of it in the third quarter.
However, the Stars always had an extra gear when needed and reeled off a handful of late points to win easily.

Lacken 1-14
Killygarry 1-13

Two magnificent free-kicks, one from 45 metres out and the second from 50, from Ray Galligan in the dying seconds saw Lacken take a deserved win and send 2009 semi-finalists Killygarry crashing out of the SFC at Breffni Park tonight (Sat).
Lacken led by a goal at the break thanks to a well-taken strike from Galligan with the last kick of the first half, but Killygarry rallied well and with Martin Reilly causing problems and Stephen McGovern on form from frees, they pulled ahead with time running out.
Enter Galligan. The rangy full-forward who, along with Trevor Crowe and Micheál Shanaghy, was outstanding for the Sky Blues, levelled it up with a 45-metre free before sending over the winner from all of 50 metres with time almost up.
Killygarry came again, Reilly hitting the upright with a fisted effort but a draw wouldn't have done them in any case; Lacken march on.
Earlier, Drumlane were highly impressive in disposing of Drung, with Barry Corrigan netting a first half penalty and John Fitzpatrick burying another in the second half.
Drung came back into the match well but it wasn't enough to keep them in the championship - Knockbride advance, despite losing narrowly to Ballymachugh.
More results to follow.

Cavan Gaels 0-13
Ballinagh 1-8

Cavan Gaels held off a spirited late rally from Ballinagh to advance to the last eight of the 2010 SFC by two points at a rain-sodden Breffni Park this evening (Friday).
The Gaels led 4-0 after three minutes thanks to a couple of fine scores from Sean Johnston but Ballinagh rallied well and went in just two down, 0-6 to 0-4, at the break.
However, the champions - who lost full forward Nicholas Walsh to injury after 15 minutes - pulled away in the third quarter, with points from Niall Murray and Niall Smith.
Up 0-11 to 0-4, it looked as if the Gaels would go through safely but Ballinagh rallied well and a couple of Niall McDermott frees and an injury time goal from sub Enda Brady brought them to within two.
But Cavan Gaels, for whom Cathal Collins was outstanding at full-back, held on to go through.
Meanwhile, there were wins for Ramor over Lavey and Mountnugent, Munterconnacht and Ballyconnell First Ulsters.

Championship preview...

How is it that Cork can accomodate dual players and some think Cavan shouldn't?

That motion was put forward by a club (Shannon Gaels), passed by club delegates at the Convention last December and then passed by county delegates at GAA Congress.
Of course, the board (ie the executive) gets slated, when it was nothing to do with them.
Come on lads, get real!

why not have another Gaelic sport as an option to play on??

What about handball? 

See www.anglocelt.ie for previews, updates on the Cavan team when it is announced and video coverage after the match.
Donegal team to be announced this evening, corner-forward Peter McGee is definitely out after receiving a straight red against Derry.

Super win for Cavan!
