The county board were also planning to put back the final last eyar if Johnston had made the Int Rules squad, remember. He looked a certainty at one point.

Oops... Red n Black seems to have deleted his account...
Was it something someone said?

To be honest, it won't concern you anyway RnB, much as it pains me and every neutral.

[you are comparing a player having an injury to a player representing his club, county and country at a worldwide GAA event?]

Hang on, just so we're straight on this:
you are comparing a player having an injury to a player representing his club, county and country at a worldwide GAA event?

Remember, there is no prize money for this. This is for sheer pride.
Shame on you if you call yourself a GAA man and would deny someone a chance to play in a county final because they are representing Cavan and Ireland at the World Handball Championships.
It's not like he's going to make up the numbers, either. The man is arguably the greatest player ever.
With all of the problems, all of the f**king mess that the GAA is in in this county, your attitude is absolutely typical. Forget the bigger picture, mind your own little agenda.
I expected more from you.

If Cavan were in an All Ireland hurling final, the football club final would be put back - this is the handball championship of the world and so-called Gaels are begrudging putting back a match by a week?
I am flabbergasted.
R n B, are you a friend and supporter of Cavan GAA, Cavan football or just Killygarry?
Seeing as handball is a GAA sport and we are lucky enough to have the undisputed world number one in our county and he is flying to America hoping to defend his title, we should be doing all we can to support him.
By the way, there is no prize money for the World Championships according to www.ushandball.org.

Why would it not?
Giving good weather this weekend anyway, for what that's worth.

With both counties record in the All Ireland series you would have thought that they would look for proven winners at this level? This would rule out any Armagh men, who have failed to make any sort of significant impact outside of Ulster.

Bar the All Ireland win and the final place the following year, when they narrowly lost to a team being spoken about as one of the greatest ever?

Lacken won the Intermediate in 2004 and lost three games.

Ourselves,bucketloads of ability,but always seem to have one bad day in the championship from quarter final stage on,and we dont seem to be able to play badly and win.

Decent team, yes. 'Bucketloads' of ability? No.

Lavey, Knockbride and Drumgoon are both as good, or better, than Ballyhaise in terms of talent. Drumalee are too.
Ballyhaise are one of four or five good teams at Intermediate, but don't try to let on that Ballyahise are the most talented but keep slipping up - that is just not true.
Ballyhaise have been hanging around Intermediate for years and have only made one final. Drumalee have won it, Drumgoon have won it, Knockbride won it - all three have since come back down, but Ballyhaise have been there all that time without going up!
Ballyhaise are coming good at underage though and will make the breakthrough some of these years in my opinion.
I'm surprised by how well Drung are doing - long may it continue! I hope it rains for three months and then we have Watters fit for the semi

Denn beat the darlings of Cavan football Castlerathan tonight in a bit of shock. Fully deserved in my view. Denn epitomise what Cavan football doesn't have in general-balls and heart. They all give 100% and can tackle properly. The only negative thing to say about them is that Cahill spends the hour (and even some of the HT break) winding up his man. I was particularly impressed with Colin Kiernan for the second time this year. Probably a step below what's needed for the county but worth a look.
Methinks the boys from Ballyduff took this one for granted a little.

Denn were full value for their win I thought.
Kiernan had an excellent first half but kicked three awful wides under pressure late on and gave the ball away very cheaply at one crucial stage too. No point in trying the likes of him at county level, decent club player but would never ben anywhere close to being a good county player. I would like to see Corr tried. Ronan Kiernan was good too.

Who was the ref in that game Red n Black?

I don't think of Eddie in a scoring roll

I don't think of him in any type of roll. Well, actually, I once imagined him in a chicken fillet roll with coleslaw. It was delicious.

Glen Columbcille- stunning.

Sounds like some poncey English aristocrat

K'garry are for me clearly the 3rd best team in the county after Gaels,Castlerahan,

In my opinion Mullahoran and Gowna are both better. Put it this way, I can see either of them winning the championship. Killygarry won't win it with this bunch of players in my opinion.

Mr Miyagi is an imitator of Mr Pain, and a poor one at that.
