[Rossfan]

Latest 1-8 to 0-10 for us.

Cavan beating Meath 13 points to 4. Looks to be a positive approach from Cavan with Hayes, Connolly and Madden all starting.

Late Ros point makes it a 1-10 to 0-13 draw in the battle of the great powers in Gort ( FFS !! Gort !)

A draw just isn't good enough against a minnow like Kerry.

I suppose Westmeath getting a pasting is Tommy Carr's fault somehow too.

[moysider]

Absolutely. Something's always his fault. Blaming him saves time as well.

Locals were probably wondering did both sides forget their hurls....

[ross4life]

A good competitive hard hitting Hasting cup game in Gort and hard earned draw which was a fair result. Shane Killoran son of the former great county midfielder Seamus scored a cracking goal. Kilcline,Kenny,Gatley impressive for us six made their U21 debuts while Burns and sub Jack Savage stood out for Kerry.

No Shane Mannion,David Neary,Ultan Harney,Tomas Corcoran,Enda Smith,Diarmuid Murtagh,Dara Pettit,Diarmuid McGann etc played today so decent strength in depth for Mark Dowd to work with by the looks of it.

Tipp 1-6 Kildare 1-5
Longford 3-14 Galway 1-7

Tipp beat Kildare in a low scoring game in Dr Morris Park in thurles. 1-6 to 1-5.

[mylestheslasher]

Always nice to hammer Meath.

Experimental spine to the Cavan team today, missing what I'd imagine are the Full Back, Ctr Back and two first choice midfielders. Next two games will tell more of a story. This years team have some dangerous forwards but whether the defensive qualities of last years team are still there remains to be seen. Very tough start to the Ulster championship, away to Donegal.

Like most teams, we were probably at 50% or so full strength.  Still a win again against a good team is always welcomed. We've a great draw in munster but I think we'll be lacking going forward this year, Philip quirke (injured) and Coleman kennedy (collage in america) would be our best two attacking players, pity both are missing

[AZOffaly]

Didn't realise Coleman was gone to America. Fine footballer. Yeah, I saw the team, it did look a bit light alright. I'd know a few of them lads.

Yeah he is a player that can bring real quality to the team but don't think he's back may or so. Could be a very good addition to the seniors come then but he won't have much training and have missed out on the whole league
