Ulster Under 21 Championship

[Captain Obvious]

Cavan by three points tonight i reckon. To be honest Dublin in All Ireland semi final will be different level to the quality in Ulster however Cavan have the best chance of beating the outright favourites.

[StephenC]

Best of luck to the Donegal lads tonight. Cavan strong favourites but there's always a chance.

[Old yeller]

Donegal will be tough opponents but I think we should have just enough to get through. Cavan by 1!

[Jinxy]

Time to split Cavan in two.

[Orior]

Congrats Cavan. Impressive run of wins

[Syferus]

All aboard for Portloaise. I expect Cavan support for our curtain raiser to the Cavan-Dublin main event.

4 in a row isn't easily done.


Well done. Congrats.

Well done. Congrats.

Agreed and well done to them. I think Cork Under-21s have done the same in Munster. Armagh ten years ago was the last Ulster side to win the under-21 All Ireland if Cavan beat Dublin i think they will end that long Ulster wait.

Unbelievable stuff in Armagh tonight...I don't even remember the journey back to Dublin! (it felt like it only took 15 mins!) What a team...what a comeback...unbelievable stuff!
As a person who has been going to 90% of Cavan matches, for 35ish years now (ok...being brought, for the first few years!) it is an incredible feeling to have won our fourth Ulster title on the trot, especially in such a dramatic way. To say that the atmosphere was electric, is the understatement of the decade, and I havn't experienced the likes of it in a long long time!
When Michael got the 'insurance' point, after Liam's goal, I nearly burst out crying (or so my Mrs. beside me said anyway!) such was the raw emotion. We've been through some tough times over the years folks, and many of us have stuck with it, through thin and thinner, but over the last while, it has been great to finally hold the head high, and be proud of the lads...they are a credit to the county!
I have always worn the blue jersey with pride, no matter what the circumstances. Whether it was on the train back from a drubbing in Cork, soaked to the skin on the terrace in Aughrim, or watching Kildare (and one of our own) wallop us in our back garden, the colours were on show for all to see nonetheless. What's different now, is that it is with an extra pep in our step we throw on the auld Kingspan top, and head out the door!
For years we bemoaned a lack of direction, and betimes effort, but we now have that in spades! Gone are the days when we bowed over to any and everyone without as much as a whimper. Gone are the days when players rolled up to Casement in a car, bleary eyed, and asked the likes of me how they'd get in! Gone are those days, and good riddance...may we never see them again.
Keep up the good work lads...we're behind ye all the way.
To rehash something I posted on a different site around ten years ago, but which has taken until now to bear fruit...the future is indeed blue! An Cabhan Abu!

Deep.

beautiful. Some achievement for the Breffni men...4 in a row at this level in a knock out competition. Be great to see them land the big fish the year

[Old yeller]

None of these lads have ever been beaten in an Ulster u21 match, some feeling!

[FermGael]

Firstly Great achievement by Cavan.  Great underage set up that is the best in Ulster.

Secondly, an awful advertisement for Gaelic Football.  Both teams set up ultra defensively.

[Zulu]

Have seen very little of Cavan at U21 and not a whole pile at senior but are they setting all their teams up defensively or was it just this game or this particular squad who are defensive?
