[Rawhide]

How is a player better off playing with another team? How will he become familiar with the type of football you are trying to promote if he is not with your team, but with another? There can only be one answer if you have ever been involved in football.

Thieves target county team
08 January 2014

Cavan County Board has increased security around Kingspan Breffni Park after five members of the senior football panel had personal belongings stolen during a training session.

Terry Hyland and his players were putting the finishing touches to their preparations for their Dr McKenna Cup opener against Antrim when their dressing room was burgled on Friday, January 3rd between 8-9pm.

Gardai are investigating the incident in which smart phones, wallets, cash and a set of car keys were stolen.

"We're very disappointed that while a group of players representing their county were out training in preparation for the match at the weekend, individuals would target them like that," PRO Declan Woods said to the Anglo Celt.

"It's indicative of incidents occurring at this time, and it is a reminder that we all must be more aware and vigilant in protecting our property, whether that's at home or elsewhere."

A spokesperson for Cavan Gardai told the Anglo Celt: "We'd be appealing to anyone who was in Breffni Park at the time, or around the area who may have observed anyone or anything suspicious to report it to Gardai."

They just weren't needed for this game. I'd say by end of the McKenna cup the boys above will get more game time than they would have with their uni. Plus the games they play in will be more competitive.
