O Neil re:: the Cavlan jump? did he "piggy back" the antrim player as in placing his knees on the antrim lads shoulders?
i think i remember the catch you're talking about,You're right he got serious height on that jump.
Still not as impressive as young McKenna though,havent see anything like it.

Good and all as a jump it is the mayo lad would have outjumped him if he wasn't been pulled down!!

Ger Cavlan v Antrim 2003. Casement Park. He was jumping higher than Black Mountain.

There could well be a poster on this board who has the stud marks from Cavlan's jumping 'tactics' that day!

Pity he didn't get the ball.....

How did you get the picture to show here O'Neill, I tried to do that but couldn't so Ii just posted the links?

ONeill · January 24, 2009, 10:30:24 AM

Right click on the picture and copy the image properties.

Zulu · January 24, 2009, 10:37:07 AM

Yeah tried that but it didn't work, if I click 'copy image' it doesn't give me a 'paste' option when I go back here.

ccosgrave · January 24, 2009, 10:43:38 AM

Click 'Copy Image Location' or its equivalent.

Zulu · January 24, 2009, 10:55:21 AM

Did that too but only the address came up when I posted it, not the picture itself, i really only want to know for future reference and I just thought there was a little nack to it that i didn't know, could it be my computer?

There's a picture of Cavlan fielding a ball for Tyrone - not sure who against - in the front bar in McAleers in Dungannon. He's at least 4 feet off the ground.Worth a look if you're ever in. Despite what has went on with Cavlan this past few years, at his best he was a joy to watch

Absolutly Laceer... and how he never got an All Star is a mystery. Was nominated in 1996 yaer Meath literaly hammered them and he threw over some beautiful points that day. Cavlan was a natural ..so gifted and as you say a joy to watch.

laceer · January 24, 2009, 12:18:46 PM

96 was his first year starting for the seniors i think as well. He scored 12 from play against us in the club championship a few years ago-if he plays for the Clarkes this year he'll be hard to stop in div 3

longrunsthefox · January 24, 2009, 12:22:52 PM

I think we're agreed on this one Laceers. He was a sub in 1995 final. To me Cavlan was most natuarlly gifted player in Tyrone since Frank McGuigan.

If Niall has as good a career as father Eugene, Donaghmore and Tyrone will be well pleased. Niall's a great prospect.
