Down are a county with a great history and tradition. They love their football up there. Cavan will need to perform to a high level to beat them.

Is that you Marty Morrissey?

Yes and the game will be played under the spectacular Mourne Mountains, which rise up from the Irish sea, and on a clear day you can see the beautiful Isle of Man.
Dont worry if any of your friends did not read this, I will mention it about four times during the first half.

Wouldn't be particularly confident of us winning even one game in this competition.

Larry McCarthy says there'll be a host of marketing initiatives to promote the Tailteann Cip.  Money down the drain.  It takes a LOT of money to get something off the ground and make the public aware of it and what it's about.  The grassroots GAA supporter already knows what Senior, Intermediate and Junior is.  It wouldn't have needed a penny spent if we'd gone down that road.

Are you taking the p*ss?
Down are a mess - this is the lowest point in their footballing history. Their best players incl their captain have left the panel after getting tanked by Monaghan and their manager is a resignation in waiting. They will be hammered out the gate by Cavan to put them out of TCup and out of their misery.

Aughrim the venue for the first ever Tailteann cup game this Saturday at 3pm

Wexford v Offaly on Sunday at 2pm gets GAAGO coverage and interesting Bellefield, Enniscorthy chosen as the venue instead of Wexford Park.

What do you think of the Trophy? Looks a bit like the English FA Cup!

[Captain Obvious]

It does.

....or even looks like the Rugby World Cup!

The irony of Barry O'Hagan being photographed with the trophy! Someone within the GAA must have had a word but fair play to him anyway, at least he had the humility to row back on his initial comments which were probably said in the heat of the moment straight after a defeat. I think if teams can get over the initial disappointment of losing in their provincial championship and win their first or second matches they will begin to see this as a worthwhile prize but a lot will depend on the promotion given by the GAA and within the media.

No it won't. This is a B championship. They could have photo shoots 24 hours a day from now til July and it will still not earn a grain of public interest.
