Official Cavan GAA Thread

Lots of interesting results at the weekend. Bailieboro beating Mullahoran, Gaels bet by Killygarry etc
Maybe senior will not be the simple Gaels win many predicted.
Also the U16s with a thrashing of Dublin in the Gerry Reilly Cup is nice to see. I suppose the Dubs players will go fully professional after their leaving certs and catch up!

Anyone know what happened with Damien Donohoe and the Bailieboro players? Odd of him to mention it on twitter, not like him at all.

Great result from the U16s. If they can win it out with all the extra teams there now it will be a good result. Next year is their year at Minor so fingers crossed they'll be able to bring that form to Ulster same as last year's minor team yet.

Not sure about Damien but it may be related to some stupid stuff their PRO was at, had a go at the celt when they won citing some article giving them little chance of the win. It was then pointed out to him that the article was from Gaelic Life

I believe Damien did their Lip Sync for them too so its pretty crappy carry on if they had verbals with him after the game, maybe he is due an apology.

Yeah strange behaviour from a club account. However I do enjoy Ballinaghs Twitter feed.

Looking like Aidan O Rourke and Poacher for Cavan job. Also will have a world class S and C coach in Mike McGurn and one ex Cavan player involved too.

Sounds interesting. Any idea who the cavan player is?

rodney trotter · August 15, 2018, 04:12:18 PM

Not sure what O'Rourke has done to be considered. Or maybe that's where Cavan are at. He was a disaster with Louth a few years ago. Poacher very defensive.

If Cavan are looking outside the county. They should look outside Ulster

I do t know but is it fair to judge anyone on Louth. They are a basket case

Poacher defensive with Carlow. Cut his cloth accordingly but does some great attacking training with teams if needed.

rodney trotter · August 15, 2018, 10:17:41 PM

Carlow were starting from a low base in Division 4. Any half decent coach with a defensive plan could have set them up.
They looked awful against Laois in the league final.

Cavan are in Division 1 next year,so he would want some sort of plan.

I hope Mickey Graham gets it

mrdeeds · August 16, 2018, 04:16:34 PM

Interviews done. Three interviewed. Mickey Graham, Aidan O Rourke and Michael McDermot. Will know by Monday.

Mickey the favourite. Dermot McCabe with him and Martin Corey.

Damien Donohoe on Twitter saying announcement potentially made this evening and it's looking like Mickey Graham

Best of luck to him. Hopefully gets the Gaels lads to go in. Dermot McCabe with him and Martin Corey too I heard. Corey is class.

Westside · August 18, 2018, 03:54:36 PM

Disappointing appointment overall IMO. Don't imagine there'll be many lads rushing back onto the panel for Mickey Graham.

Then again we don't want a situation where the players decide whether to commit based on the profile of their manager. The problem goes deeper than the man in charge.

So best of luck to him for the year ahead. Survival in Division 1 or an Ulster Final would be a very good first year.
