Well done Scotland . As we have played all our games away in Leinster, do we now get a Home fixture in Cavan or do we have travel to Scotland. Venue ? Parkhead or Ibrox the venue with an all ticket match/sell out?

Can somebody tell when are the Cavan Junior Team  playing Warwickshire in the All Ireland Semi Final and the Venue. Cant find details anywhere?

Are both players off the Panel for the remaining 3 games or are they gone for the season?

In the 2nd half in Ballina Josh Hayes and Damien Barkey played   in the defense.  David Giveny was obliviously told to keep away from mid field and Aidan O'Shea and played with the lively Eugene Keating in a full forward line.

Agree with Myles's report on the game, certainly in the 1st half  we were tearing through the Mayo defense and should have 5 or 6 points up at half time. Our movement/tackling/winning dirty ball was very good and surprised a lot of Mayo supporters with that first half performance.  Jason McLoughlin had a very good game on Andy Moran and also Rory Dunne looked comfortable at full back. I think Mark Leddy played in midfield with Declan McKiernan against Aidan O'Shea and Jason Gibbons. Leddy and McKiernan were good in the loose but . caught no ball against O'Shea.
Mackey was excellent and Jack Brady was very prominent .Martin Dunne marked tightly . missed one free and should have scored an easy goal chance.
2nd half Mayo got a soft goal after Andy Moran out jumped our full back after 1 minute with the 2nd team on duty. Match over. James Reilly kicking the ball everywhere but to a Cavan man! 3rd choice keeper. Barry Reilly not strong enough and not fit in my opinion for a fast running game. John McCutchson is not fit/mobile as yet. It was obvious that the full back line for the 2nd half was never going to be good enough with the result Mayo walked in 3 more goals.  Looking back we had 3/4 really good chances for goals. Overall a good work out  No injuries to report

Was told this morning that the Mayo team are playing Cavan next Monday at 1.30pm in Ballina in a challenge match. Most likely on the Ballina Stephenites pitch. I wonder is the squad in Belmullet for the weekend as our County Chairman is from there. Fingers crossed no injuries from the match.  Should be interesting watching the O'Shea's brothers against David Giveny and A.N.Other? Will keep you all posted after the match.

Is Jonny Cavan Man  ( Seanie Johnston) still living in Cavan Town. He does not appear to be getting any game time with Kildare so far after 3 matches. When does the transfer window close, we might have him back?

Just wondering could we make convert Mickey Brennan into the Full Back position or Ciaran Galligan?  Dan Gordan was moved back into that position by Wee James McCartan with success.

When are Cavan's U21's due to play Longford in the Hastings Cup...is that a Final. I see Donegal played Monaghan on Sat in a challenge match...did our Senior side play over the weekend. Any word on O. Minagh  & D.Barkey injuries ..both very early in there respective games.

Anglo-Celt39/South Eastern Blue just to let you know I am back !! The Galway,Donegal and Longford defeats last summer took awfull out of me in that I nearly put my Kingspan jersey into my local clothes bank and purchased a Mayo (Elverys) jersey here in Castlebar. With the new season/clear out of old stock underway I found my Cavan Jersey in the attic last night so I have decided to travel to Cavan tomorrow evening to see the new kids playing U.U.J. Hopefully we will get a big win and that Donegal beat Derry. With all this talk about Seanie been dropped from the squad I hear no noise's coming from Lyng or Sheridan? Do they not want to play intercounty football. I have to say in the majority of inter county games I have attended in the last couple of years Johnstons performances have been very inconsistent.   

At the start of the League I didn't think we get any points out our visit to Nowlan Park,Wexford.We have 2 home games against Tipperary and Louth coming up which we must treat as 2 championship matches. Get 4points we will stay up.
Today we fought back again from 7 points down to loose by 2 . I think we will get 2 big performances to finish of the league.

As a fan of Nesty Smith I am getting a wee bit concerned as to his whereabouts . (A) Is he part of the Cavan set up this year. ( B) Is he injured and if so how soon will he be back playing. What about Michael Lyng , is he in or out . Playing last week on the 40 for D.CU. - had a good game I am told.

Note your comments Westside....but have you any news on Nesty Smith...is he training,injured or gone. M.Lyng cant be cup tied if as I said other counties are playing students this weeknd. e.g. Aidan O'Shea Mayo (D.I.T) Alan Dillion Mayo (U.C.G) and David Kelly Sligo. (Sligo I.T.)

Is 'Nesty' Smith making himself available for Cavan this year.  We could do with him going to Tullamore on Sunday  . Cant see us getting out with any points . At this moment staying in Div 3 for another year might be no harm with the new players on board. When can we expect D Giveny and G McKiernan to wear the No. 8 and 9 shirts for Cavan. I see Mayo have at least 6 students in their line-up against Down on Sat evening and we have none, Why I might ask?

Derry have won the Group...they go forward to the semi-finals....Cavan using this game to have a look at the new players again in the squad..still a win away to monaghan will be good for confidence coming up to the start of the league.
