Last year Fermanagh got incredibly lucky against a very wasteful Cavan team in a Covid national League game with nobody there.

Was Riceys second and last win as a manager .

Ricey now with Cavan which will add to it.

To be fair, I don't think it could be described as incredibly lucky. Cavan were wasteful but Fermanagh were sharper on the day and fully deserved the win.

Different game this time around. Cavan over the post Ulster slump, there will likely be a healthy crowd.

It was Cavans first game back after lockdown. Fermanagh, being in the North, were out of lockdown over a month earlier, and had challenge matches, more collective training etc. James Smith was sent off, and Cavan were stone cold and got it hard to get up to speed. And we're still unlucky to lose. A Cavan up to speed right now should be different like you say.

As I recall we started Oisin Brady, Paddy Lynch and Caoimhin McGovern for their league debuts, Thomas Galligan was injured too. We are in a much healthier place this time out.

Hopefully we get a Sunday game and a big Cavan crowd will travel with it being a BH weekend

Think McGovern made his debut the year before against Kildare (and didn't we get a slap on the wrist for this as he was actually too young?) but yeah, agreed on the others. We are in a far better place than then, as we're ticking along rather nicely

Westside

Odds out. Cavan at 1/3 with Fermanagh at 3/1. Handicap 3 points.

One of the best thingss about the tailteann is keeping the counties going beyond the provincial finals.

Still keeping the North and South regionals is stupid....presume it'll be open draw from the start next year?

No, the round robin system in Round 1 will still be split on geography. which is ridiculous. If the split was an issue, the main Qualifiers would have been split for years now. No idea why they think this is good. they split leagues for some reason last year, and now they're all gung ho for it.

At least they had the excuse of splitting the leagues due to covid last year. It was shite but was better than no football being played. Not sure who thought it was a good idea...

Wow Cavan Fermanagh who would have predicted that. Another shit draw against an Ulster team, you'd swear these GAA are rigged the amount of Ulster teams that get each other.

Noelle healy making the draw she must have some friends in RTE, LGFA not even the same association and shes doing GAA draws and punditry. But shes a Dub thats all that matters to RTE

And that was a bad idea at that. How they ran Leagues over 3 games, and then had a relegation and promotion playoff based on those 3 games was a joke. Whoever came up with the idea for splits based on the geography of a small island needs their head examined

think i remember they had something that the league final was not to be played if the teams in the final had a chamoionship game coming up in a week or two what sort of nonesense was that.

Yep, Noelle's fault that the geographical split is there for the Tailteann Cup!
There was a 2/1 chance that Cavan v Fermanagh would come up - but of course it coming up means there's a conspiracy.

Yes, Noelle has joined that long list of ex-Dublin players who have been regulars on RTE's GAA coverage over the last 40 years, after Ciaran Whelan and em.... the rest of them..... I'm sure I must be forgetting 5 or 6 Dublin players who featured regularly, given that's all that matters to RTE  :o

It was a 3/1 cnance!

Turf

Hasn't been a bad start to the tournament to be fair.
Carlow winning was great see, by all accounts the Westmeath Laois game was a cracker yesterday also.
Leitrim winning was also great.
We have New York next.
