NFL Division 2 2025

It's a hard and fast rule of bulletin boards, reddit, the internet in general, that within five posts of Cavan being mentioned, an aspiring comedian will pop up with a joke about our contrived reputation for parsimony. No harm to our Farney brother here or anything, it only grates on Cavan folk as, being naturally present in more Cavan-related threads than the average person, we are often and over-exposed to Níall Tobín's ageing back catalogue. People from other counties only get to use these gags the odd time though, so to them it's a novelty and feels funny somehow.

I read a headline in the Evening Herald the other day: "Bed collapses in the Shelbourne Hotel, 18 Cavanmen injured".

Meath are 5/2 and I can't help thinking that is a bit of value. 

me too and I'll have some of that.

How about this weekend lads?  Meath at home to Monaghan and are 13/8.

good bet . Not as bad a team as showed up in Mullingar and committed daylight robbery, Meath depth is the problem, we have key players missing, jones and Coffey . Might have Costello back though. Need to iron out the problems in defence. Our success this year upto Westmeath game was middle area where menton , Flynn and jones worked wonders with Coffey cleaning up a little further back if those 3 didn't get their ball. Now we missing 2 of them. Beggan not been allowed up creates a new dimension. Fascinating game. But one I think we will sneak at home

Half time Down 1-10 Westmeath 0-13
Full time Down 1-26  Westmeath: 0-28

Down win with a score on the hooter.  Westmeath relegated.

Jesus if Westmeath hadn't such terrible luck they'd have none at all.

[Sheedy]

Great game in Newry, 2 evenly matched teams went score for score in the second half and Down just managed to get the win in the last play. Some great scores from both teams especially in the last 10 minutes.

Great from a Down point of view to get the win in a tight match after narrow losses to Louth and Cavan in last games

A tough Div 2. Every team competitive, End to end last night. More like basketball than football with these new rules though.not sure these new rules mean it's a great game all off a sudden but it's entertaining for the neutral. Last night wasn't for the faint hearted. None of Downs games have.

Westmeath have had no luck at all this year. Every game was close and just ending up on the wrong side of it.

Not sure how we'll do today with the injuries Royaldunne mentioned. We were well beaten in midfield last time out.

actually have to feel a bit sorry for Westmeath. (Never thought I'd say that) I think all bar one game they could have and in some instances should have won.
But on to the main event it will be a cracking day in PT today. Packed out and so much at stake. Makes a huge difference to last couple of years where we in relegation fight to actually having promotion in our own hands. I'd feel a little bit more comfortable if O'Neill went fb and Rafferty went cb , no logic just think O'Neill isn't a cb at county level but is a solid fb. The midfield is what got us to this position but with the injuries it's looking very shaky. If we break even I think we squeeze it with frayne morris duke and Kinlough all capable of putting in big games. Shane walsh has to have a on day today.

[Rossfan]

Duke and Kinlough.....Ros connections I'd imagine
We have a must win game today against a Cavan team coming into form at the right time (for them).
Lose and we can probably kiss goodbye to promotion so need to treat this as a Championship game.

Teams for the match in Navan.
