It was Mackeys 21st at the weekend, didn't seem to have affected him that much as he played very well last night. I don't think havin a few pints on the 25th May is going to affect his performance on the 15th June.

Updated table after last nights game

Team P W L D Pts
Cuchullains 8 5 1 2 12
Cavan Gaels 7 5 1 1 11
Lacken 8 5 2 1 11
Lavey 8 3 3 2 8
Killygarry 7 4 3 0 8
Gowna 8 4 4 0 8
Ballinagh 7 4 3 0 8
Mullahoran 8 3 4 1 7
Denn 8 3 4 1 7
Ballyhaise 7 3 4 0 6
Crosserlough 7 2 4 1 5
Belturbet 7 2 4 1 5
Castlerahan 7 2 5 0 4
Drumalee 7 2 5 0 4

Lads, Castlerahan had a good win over Belturbet last night. 1-17 to 1-8.

Castlerahan had the 3 county men and looked a lot stronger than they had done in the league to date. Jason wasn't playing for Belturbet.

Hopefully we will get the win over Ballyhaise on Saturday.

The match tonight is in Ballyjamesduff at 8.

The match on Saturday is in Ballyhaise at 5.

Playing Belturbet tonight lads, hopefully with the three county men we should have enough to beat them and get ourselves off the bottom of the divsion. Then Ballyhaise on Saturday and hopefully get a win there 2 and then with Lavey, Drumalee, Killygary, Cuchulainns and Ballinagh to play it is in our own hands.

BH Man how do you guys think the game will go Saturday? Would you be hopeful of getting a victory?

Yea i seen that but i wanted the opinion of some of our guys on here who may have bn at it, might be able to give us some info on what player did well etc. Meath had a second string team out yet we only won by a point, we really are in dire straits, the sooner the county get knocked out the better, at least we wil get our county boys back playing for us. playin denn this wknd and witout the 3 county men i cant see us getting anythin out of the match.

Any1 have any report from the game against meath? Any of you guys make the trip?

He would also miss the Armagh game should cavan manage to beat Antrim, incidentally the picture is of Finbar and not Mark.

think everybody has lost interest in the whole thing, are there going to be clubs fixtures this weekend? postponed games??

[It is way too late bringing in new midfielders now]

I was hoping that someone would come back and tell me that I was wrong and that we had more  than 20 togged out against westmeath. Just goes to show you what a mess Keoghan is making of the job. It is way too late bringing in new midfielders now. Is Walsh still on the panel cos as far as I can see we need him in there as he's the best we have at the moment. I also think there is a good chance Ros will turn us over next week.

Why do you think its too late? We all agree that the midfielders that are there at the minute aren't up to it so why not at least have a look at these guys?

I dont really know the answer either, I suppose it would be good if both were in at the beginning of the year because they are the kind of guys we need for midfield, big lads Galligan 6' 4" and McDonald 6' 2". Think both are better than either declan gaffney or john cunningham.

Does anybody here think that Mick McDonald is a better option than Ciaran Galligan at midfield? He is less mobile for 1.

yea a few lads have left the panel in the last couple of weeks, Micheal Lyng, Rory Donoghue, Raymond Galligan. There were only 20 togged against westmeath. Mick Mcdonald from drumgoon has been called in.

Lads i see there is a possibility that round 5 of the league might be played this weekend for teams that have county players, This came through from the county board

From the CB:

The clubs that will be involved with the county team for the NFL match against Roscommon are: Drung, Drumgoon, Ballinagh, Cavan Gaels, Mullahoran, Crosserlough, Gowna, Swanlinbar, Castlerahan, Belturbet, Butlersbridge, Redhills, Cootehill and Killygarry. Due to their involvement with the county team their club matches for round 5 can be played on this coming Sunday if their opponents are agreeable to bringing the fixture forward. If clubs are not agreeable it will go down as a postponed fixture which will be played on a Wednesday evening.

The A.C.F.L. Division 4 to 6 Round 5 which was due to take place on this weekend (19th/20th) also has been postponed due to the county fixture.

Thanking you in advance.

Getting away from the county team for a minute, has anyone got any reports on any of the club games from the weekend, I didn't get to see my team as I had to work. We were bet by Mullahoran and by all accounts were very very poor, county men are a serious loss to a club like ours, also have a few injured and few not bothering to play this year.
