Not a bad few weeks so. As well as the Under 21's was quite happy we kept our place in what was always going to be a tough enough Division 3. In fact a win against Limerick would have had us up to Division 2 I think. You'd like to think the Under 21's will give a bit of a bounce to the senior panel and we can go into the first round with a bit of hope. Would be nice to see a few games won through the qualifiers at least.

Next year I'd like to think we would see about a dozen lads from last years and this years under 21 panels involved and see a few messers pensioned off once and for all. Good to see Terry Hyland having continued success and you'd hope his involvement in the senior panel is cemented for a few years at any rate. Make a change from all the chopping, changing, outside managers etc. etc.

Specific issue I'd be interested in getting the opinion of a few of the lads that are playing ball at the minute. We have any number of lads in their mid-20's (Lyng, Gaynor, Pierson, McKeever, Hannon) who burst on the inter county scene aged 19 or so. Whether through injury, poor management or other matters they haven't all realised their potential, maybe they were thrown in too soon for their own good. If some of those lads could be got to buy into the sort of team/work ethic that the under 21's seem to have they could be a great addition to have around the senior panel over the next two to three years. The question is whether it's gone a bit too late for some of the lads to re-invent themselves. Any opinions?

I still think of some of the championship performances Lyng, Gaynor and Mckeever turned in under Eamon Coleman and feeling that there were all star nominations on the way, at least, if some of them kept to that level.

Good question. The last thing we want to happen is a bunch of this U-21 panel thrown in at Senior level without sufficient support around them from more Senior players. As mentioned earlier, the 1996 crew were probably left a little stranded after 1997 or 98.
These boys will have to be given time to adjust. I have no doubt we have some Senior players who can help bring them through. Its not that hard to buy into an overall team/ work ethic if the Management have it drilled into every single player. If 13 or 14 lads are working their socks off with or without the ball, it is very easy to spot a lad who is standing up.
2005 seems only like yesterday to me but probably an eternity to others. That year we were a block of a ball away from being U-21 Ulster Champions. Ambrose Rodgers and Down went on to be beaten by Galway in the AI final that year and Down with some of that team intact have gone on to bigger and better things at Senior level.
That U-21 Cavan team included Dermot Sheridan, Padraig Reilly, Mark Mc Keever, Sean Johnston, Mickey Lyng, Anthony Gaynor. All lads who are still involved with our Seniors. Work and Tackle were buzzwords with that U-21 team under Coleman and McElkannon and I don't see any reason why they can't become buzzwords again.
