2018 NFL Division 2

Tipp are probably missing a bit of cuteness. Losing to Cavan on the last day also happened to Galway the year before they got promoted.

[FermGael]

Rossies obviously running scared of a trip to Brewster next year.......

I thought they were cute enough. Fouled anytime Cavan looking to break and bought frees well. That's not a criticism.

It was an intriguing game tactically played with championship intensity but also with a lot of mistakes. Tipp had a really clever kick out strategy but cavan got wise to it in 2nd half and dominated primary possession in last quarter but even with 14 men Tipp were a powerful running team but missed 3 vert scorable points and a saved goal chance. Cavan missed a lot too but probably not as scorable chances as Tipp. I thought gearoid didn't play at all today a worrying trend in big games. It was mcvitty, Ciaran holla Brady and Martin Reilly that took the fight to Tipp and Mackey was influential in last 10 mins. Tipp are a very good team and every bit as good as cavan or Roscommon just the bounce of a ball in it. Brilliant for cavan gaa to get back to div1 and test ourselves against the best. Now can we finally get one over on the Rossies for once?

Thought Faulkner very good too. Not a lot of help. Jason just wants to attack. Galliagn class again. Two great catches, big save and big interception.

Tipp were good. Would probably have won that game if they had stayed kept 15 on the pitch. Even with 14 they had the chances to win it but hit a couple of bad wides at key times that kept Cavan in touching distance.

There are a few passengers on the Cavan team but we have lads like McVeety and Ciaran the Holla that are exceptional and want to take on responsibility. McVeety's ability to ghost past players from a standing start is remarkable. A little more end product is needed but when he's fit he's our best player. Bradley needs to put on about 2 stone of muscle before he'll be properly able for this level but he looks to have the ability.

Hard to know what to make of the Roscommon game. There's not much between us, never has been over the past few years. I do think they have been better and are better than us now, but with the margin being fairly thin surely we'll get over the line against them at some stage?
It's all bonus territory but I think a Division 2 title will mean a lot more to these Cavan players who have empty pockets when it comes to silverware at Senior Level. Hopefully that counts for something on the day.

Securing promotion and a trophy would make the defeat at the Hyde pretty meaningless as well as get that Roscommon gorilla off our backs. There's so little between the sides that the dominance of the Ros over us is hard to fathom. If we can't beat them in this one, we might never.

Ye still wouldn't have beaten us when it mattered, though.

[cavanmaniac]

It seemed at the time like it mattered more - because it did, at the time - but the next game is more important especially to Cavan. If we both get promoted and we have a trophy too plus a long awaited win over Ros, I think nobody will be muttering into their pints about how terrible it was to lose in the Hyde. Apart from yourself, maybe.

Roscommon underage teams have been beating Cavan for years
that comes through to senior

You mean the one time they beat us in 2012 at U21?

[Jinxy]

Lads, take it to the Division 1 thread and stop annoying the rest of us.

[Rossfan]

Are you not gone to D3 yet?

Whoever wins would be advised to not get too carried away. When we last won Div 2 final in Croke Park, we were quickly brought down to earth by beatings from both Sligo and Fermanagh in championship, both Div 3 teams at the time. Ros and Cavan have done their main job, this match is a glorified challenge.

True but always nice to win silverware. Would mean more to Cavan than us tbh with us winning it three years ago.
