Who can stop Larry Reilly's Cavan Minors?

[rodney trotter]

Larry is a selector not the manager.  Good minor team , they don't play the defensive system,  go man to man. Few very good inside forwards Robbie Fitzpatrick and Thomas Edward Donahoe.

Minor team will be strong next year, team that beat Dublin last year in the gerry reilly final

It's a bit like Maradona managing Argentina.

So you're saying he's the most clueless manager ever?

Cavan minors going all out attack is the way forward for the county as they may produce a few key scoring men which they badly need.

What is Larry Reillys role then?

He sired all of them

One doesn't simply manage, followers shall be guided by the light of omniscience, omnipresence and omnipotence.

Word of the day one week last year.

Cavan 1/8 for tomorrow. Antrim will get a lift from their seniors today but it's hard to see them coming close to this excellent Cavan team.

[Itchy]

We will see how excellent (or not) Cavan are as Monaghan were nothing short of dire the last day.

[Westside]

I'd imagine Antrim will be only too keen to get to Breffni today and see if they can exploit our management's insistence on going man to man and focussing on attack.

Surely ye should be happy about a more attack-focused underage team? Sounds like exactly what Cavan football needs to be coming on stream to complete the puzzle.

Attack minded is good but the comments that came from the camp were bordering on naive if you take them at face value - they said they would play no sweepers and go all out attack. If they do make the final and play like that against most likely donegal then they will be beaten.

[Westside]

I suppose I'm just looking for a happy medium Syferus. I don't want to see the management stubbornly sticking to a man to man game if it means we end up losing. Sometimes you just need to batten down the hatches, particularly to come through Ulster. If we can come out and outshoot Antrim and win then great, if it's not working and we need to get into a dogfight then I hope that's something we can do.

[Westside]

Sounds like Antrim are doing just as I guessed, lot of men back and Cavan struggling early on.

For the long term good of Cavan football an attacking strategy would sound like a very sensible way forward. They'll concede against Antrim (who I hear are a damn fine side) but should have too much attacking power.
