Castlerahan should have been the favourites to win this competition this year, after all we won it last year with the same team bar 1 player. But with injuries and lads away for the summer it was never going to be easy. Pauric Smith is injured, needs an operation on knee, Fergal Flanagan has a broken hand and Ronan Brady is also injured. Fiachra Cork, Daniel Lynch, Shane Boylan and Sean Fitzpatrick are in Chicago. In sayin that Castlerahan should have no excuses. They were 7 points up at half time and it looked to be over. Ballinagh showed great spirit to get back into it and Castlerahan had no answer. Didn't help ourselves by some decisions made on the line or lack of them. Fair play to Ballinagh on a good win.

Chesty = Eamonn Reilly of the Gaels. Wouldn't play this year due to "serious" disagreement with Keoghan - but that is another story.

Myles, I remember when this came up on the board a while back and am still none the wiser as to what this "serious" disagreement with Keoghan was. Would you be able to enlighten me via a pm perhaps?

I have no confidence in Cavan at the minute, management is a shambles and the players have a bad attitude.

I'm kinda hoping that we get bet tomorrow evening because if we manage to fluke a win the club championship will be put on hold.

Any of you guys have anymore info on Sean? ill do my best to find out.

That table is rubbish, Castlerahan have 8 pts and if you include the ballinagh game saturday 10 pts.

Anyway, was away in galway all wknd and only heard bouts Sean's injury, apparently its not lookin good, could be the cruciate.

Yea i could be wrong on the Crawford 1, what age is he he now 28/29, which means he would have been 19/20 that time. I see maddog is agreeing with me though.

Thought it might have been Crawford because i remembered the 2 Nigels playing on the same team but this could have been later.

Enda McManus was CHB
Paddy reynolds was a half back

Joe Kavanagh scored a screamer of a goal and he plays for Nemo??

[Think of the players who have either quit the panel or not been called back - Lyng, Donohoe, Pierson, Chesty, Mickey Brennan (remember him?! At least he would have been fit and given his all, not run around with no boot!), Gaynor, Raymond Galligan, Ciaran Galligan... Some of these lads would have been decent options surely? And what about Cullivan? Is it true he quit because he was pissed off with the manager?Instead, we were left with a makeshift, cobbled together panel (Eugene Keating listed as a sub? Where did they spring him from? Very promising player, but that just smacks of "make it up as we go along").]

Thats the thing, the turnover of players on the panel is far too high, how is a team ever going to progress when they have new men drafted in every couple of weeks? What did Michael McDonald or Lorcan Mulvey offer yesterday that Ciaran Galligan wouldn't have? Galligan started the replay last year and in my opinion done a very god job at what he was told to do which was to curtail Dan Gordan (we all seen how good he is over the last 2 weeks) yet he wasn't deemed good enough this year? Eamonn Reilly, captain of the County Champions, he would surely be good enough to be there, correct me if I am wrong but didn't he start both games against Down last year at CHB. I don't think he has disimproved that much?? Pierson would surely have been a better option to start ahead of Jason or at least be on the panel.

Where did Eugene Keating come from is right!! I know he is an excellent player and definitely a Cavan player for the future but he was asked into the county panel about 10 wks ago and wouldn't join up and now he is listed as a sub yesterday, it tells you all you need to know about the Cavan set up at present!!

What i believe the team will be on Sunday

1. James Reilly
2. Michael Hannon
3. Padraig Reilly
4. Martin Cahill
5. Dermot Sheridan

Probably a mile off with this team but said id have a go.

5/6 days to the Armagh match and no Cavan supporters online, whats going on??

Personally i think our back line is too weak and ultimately that will be our downfall.
