[Denn Forever]

How many go from each group or is it like last season?

Thank god we are not in the group of death.  Any of the teams there would grace any semi/final.

As for our group, I wouldn't be so hopeful of good games and there is the sleeping giant of Kingscourt.  Although Denn/Killygarry will be illuminating.  We need to win as I don't know how we'd do in the qualifiers.

Will Setanta be in for coverage of the games in Group 1 of the seniior championship?  Looking at it there will be some ding-dong games there! 

Are CG in line to equal Crosserlough's seven in a row?  Maybe it will be seven in a decade?

I played football at school many years ago with a Cavan footballer Donal Meade and heard last year that he had passed away would anyone on this site be able to confirm this and be able to give me any information about him.

In Group 1 i would think that Drumbride would make the group and themselves and Belturbet might get through although you cannot rule out Redhills. In my opinion Group 2 is the toughest. I would think it will be Gowna and Cuchullains to go through. Group 3 seems straight-forward enough for me with Cavan Gaels and Mullahoran to proceed. Group 4 is tough to gauge but ill be optimistic and say Lacken and Kingscourt to go through. Sorry lads, i will probably be proven wrong yet.

Mullahoran won the Championship in 2006 I think, but they have won six this decade.

disagree about group 3,
it all depends for me exactly how many players ballinagh are missing due to emigration,specifically to Oz,
If they had a full time id fancy them to knock Mullahoran out.
Crosserlough can be great on their day and be atrocious aswell.
Gaels to go through,and any one of the other 3.

Lads weigh in with your top 15 players from Cavan,on the thread on the main discussion board.

I don't have any direct connection, so I'm not 100% sure, but as far as I know he passed away last year some time.

Don't know much about him but found this http://www.rip.ie/death_notices_detail.asp?NoticeID=54096

[the salmon of knowledge]

for the record i am a mountnugent man.

championship draw with all respect looks ok for us anyway, well if you can believe the reports that corlough have lost up to 7 players due to immigration... its championship though, so nothing can be taken for granted. its sad to see a club that doesnt have huge numbers anyway to take such a crippling blow.
could anyone shed more light on their clubs around the county in relation to this matter?

according to reports cavan played quite well in mayo, mackey got 1-2 and jayo weighed in with 1-1. but the real talking points came later on in the night, when certain members of the panel were noted for their boxing skills as much as their ball skills!!

on another note, didn anyone read the piece in the cavan post titled "blue is the colour", jesus that fella shoots from the hip!!! say he is off larrys xmas card list

Donal Meade was a Cuchullains and Cavan footballer of the 70s, I remember him well, a classy player in midfield or attack.

He died last September and is buried in Raffoney cemetery near Cross.
