The Gaels and Kingscourt look like the teams to beat.

Do the Gaels not,'buy' their way to the title?
Saw a bit on podcast about Mc Kiernan moving to Cavan Gaels?  How does the Cavan board allow that?

He's living in the Cavan town parish so can join them. He's actually living in Butlersbridge but they are an intermediate club. His own club got relegated and he was sent off in one game and substituted in relegation play off.

Sure is his own club not only half an hour down the road?

How is that allowed in Cavan with nobody questioning it?

Different if he was living in Dublin and transferred to a Dublin club - wouldn't be an issue.  In any other county, it wouldn't be sanctioned.

The  bit in bold is irrelevant surely? The whole team boundary around Cavan town seems a bit of a joke anyway

It's allowed in every county. You're allowed move to a club local to where you're living if your home club consent to your transfer.

In any other county, it wouldn't be sanctioned.

Hardly. Barry Moran played in an All Ireland final for Castlebar Mitchels even though he's from Ballaghdereen. Michael Donnellan did likewise for Salthill even though he's from Dunmore.

The home club doesn't have to consent to it as far as i know you can play for any club within your parish or a neighboring parish.

Some distance between Salthill and Dunmore in fairness in comparsion between Cavan/Butlersbridge and Swanlinrbar.

Why's he not playing for Butlersbridge if he's living there?
Did Cavan Gaels not 'bring in' Anthony Forde a few years ago as well - always seem to be touting the junior clubs for their best players and 'offering' them something.

I wonder what he's getting?

Yeah, what's this about?

If he got sent off or subbed, a player jumps ship - wtf?

[Cavan19]

Why's he not playing for Butlersbridge if he's living there?

He had a choice of clubs and picked the Gaels he said he wanted to play Senior Championship football as far as i recall from a interview he gave last week.

[rodney trotter]

He wanted to play Senior, so joined Cavan Gaels over ButlersBridge.
Eamon Fennell transferred to St Vincents from O Tooles a few years ago, when St Vincents were strong. Took a while for that transfer to go through.

It might not be the most sporting thing but the rules alow it.

Just highlighting the circumstances he left his club in. Would he  not want to try and rectify that.

He didn't want to be there and didn't bother his hole in his last game hence he was substituted.

Some distance between Salthill and Dunmore in fairness in comparsion between Cavan/Butlersbridge and Swanlinrbar.

Swanlinbar to Cavan town 46.4km.
Salthill to Dunmore 50.7km

[rodney trotter]

Donie Vaughan would be another. He transferred from Ballinrobe to Castlebar.
