Pity to lose the game when so close to winning it but it is only effectively a challenge game.

Couldn't make it up yesterday. Where do stand? Plenty of positives or same old Cavan throwing away a lead?

How did the full-back line go?

This is the Derry take on the game.

good to see a few other cavan representatives playing for their colleges over the weekend. marc leddy was playing for sligo it while omara was in goals for DIT with ross sheridan and stephen cooney among the subs for them. dont know how the latter 2 are not in terry hylands u21 plans when playing at that level. not sure but think niall murray and simon cadden could have been representing ucd aswell

Dougal · January 09, 2012, 01:57:41 PM

who are sheridan cooney and cadden?

rodney trotter · January 09, 2012, 05:05:22 PM

Sheridan is from Killygarry, Cooney Castlerahan and Simon Cadden Ramor.

Cadden was on the u21 panel last year and i presume he is on this year aswell.

I thought someone said all our lads are playing with their county? Does that mean them boys aren't in with Cavan?

Picked up the paper this morning. Jack Brady is with DCU as well I think.

I think it's the u21 players who can play with the colleges like Jack Brady. They won't be involved with the Senior panel for the early stages of the league to concentrate on the u21 championship. I heard Brady had a great game with Dcu getting 3pts.

Josh Hayes played for UCD in the O'Bryne Cup too... I know I'm biased but I really can't understand how he hasn't even gotten a look-in with the County. Like it seems damn near everyone else was involved at some level, trials etc before Christmas

Yes CM, Josh Hayes is a well worth a look. He is far superior to some of the players,which have played championship football for Cavan over the last number of years.
I was at a club fitness test Sunday,so couldn't make it down to Celtic Park,which i had planned to do to see the first and probably only time, 3 Ballyhaise Men were on the County team!!!!

Can any of you lads tell me how Fergal , Sean Mac and Ray got on?
Fergal Slowey is a terrific footballer and one of the best man markers in the county,as any of the lads on here would tell you but id be worried his size (5'7) would work against him at IC level.

It looks from this far remove, with the real stuff not due to start for a while yet, that Val has at least some sort of clear plan for the season ahead with regard to training and personnel and the work ethic required of those that make up his panel. WE have also yet to gauge the impact of John Morrison who I hope is back on the road to recovery.

If the reality is as positive as the soundings here and elsewhere would indicate - albeit without a ball really being kicked - then I welcome it. I've been praying for a proper clearout and fresh start for years, I really hope this is it.
