Official Cavan GAA Thread

Think he he took a break last year with Ballyhaise, left the Cavan panel before the Kildare game, and in 2010 when he wasn't picked against Fermanagh.

So with the new league format this means a total of 18 league games for each club (9 home and away), an increase of 3 on last year when the league didn't finish up until December and was played in fog. Do the county board have no consideration for player welfare with the season now almost having no break (clubs training January-December). So at least 18 league games, minimum 3 championship games and junior games for a lot on top of this. Why not just play each team once in the league, take the pressure of players and get the season finished in a reasonable time frame? We all know that there will be little or no club action between February and April due to the county participating in the National League (despite what the fixture masterplan says!)

Rumors floating about the Imperial over Christmas that Ray Cullivan is leaving Ballyhaise. Any truth in that, does anyone know? BallyhaiseMan?

The Imperial ya know! Heard them myself and I wasn't near the Imperial. Lavey apparently. I've been told it's all BS.

Agree, its obviously going to end up into December again this year whatever way they think it won't. Be great to see how they will fit in the 3 extra league fixtures.

The clubs are going to have to play at least 5 and maybe 6 league games without county players so there should not be a problem getting them played.

To be honest  lads, I'm looking forward to the new League Structure and I think it could work very well...

Ten teams in each Division will hopefully mean that the gap in standard across those teams will be a lot closer than in pervious years when there was 16 teams in Div 1 and 2...

Also considering that the Top 4 will be involved in Semi-Finals and the bottom 3 involved in avoiding relegation that means that 7 out of the 10 will be involved directly in promotion/relegation - i.e. playing for points right up to Round 18.  The odds are that 1 or 2 more teams will be involved in the shake-up one way or another so hopefully there will be no meaningless games played in the latter stages of the leagues i.e. where 1 or both of the teams are safe and out of the running at the same time...

Hopefully the Championships will work out as well...

very big win over Leitrim in the Hastings Cup according to Twitter, 2-15 to 0-2, two goals to Conor Madden, would guess he's  a Gowna man.

Yeah he is a brother of Niall Madden. Very good player, Leitrim must have been terrible. Last year they gave Cavan a good game and there was only 3/4 pts difference.

Daniel Talbot is from Killygarry, good soccer player and fast on the field. Don't know who S Murray is form, think he may be from Shannon Gaels.

[Itchy]

Dunne, Givney and Keating all out today.

Dec McKiernan, McCutcheon and Martin Dunne all in.
