Now settle lads, only the league. Woo Hoo.

The league ended up a bit farcical. Surely changes for next year?

The team that finished bottom of Div 1 on 0 points stayed up and the team that topped Div 2 unbeaten didn't get up.

In Division 2 Killygarry didn't lose a game all regular league, yet got suckered with 2 late goals to lose the semi, and didn't get promoted.

In Division 1, Lacken conceded a game to Castlerahan, so Knockbride, Ballyhaise, and Castlerahan ended up level on 9 points each. Points difference then couldn't be used to determine who plays who as head to head also couldn't be used. It meant Knockbride needed to play Castlerahan, and Knockbride play Ballyhaise to determine placings and only then could they play the 2 relegation playoff games.

Then Castlerahan played Knockbride again, and despite Knockbride beating them 2 previous times (including the playoff for a playoff a few weeks ago), Castlerahan won and Knockbride go down.

Then Ballyhaise play Lacken, who have been waiting in the long grass while the above farce played out. Lacken win meaning they lost all 12 League games, but still get a chance to win one playoff game to stay up.

So joke stuff. If a team finish top, they should be promoted, if a team finishes bottom they should get relegation. Sort out playoffs for last spot to promote/relegate but this thing was absolutely farcical

Credit where it's due it's a brilliant service.

Any match reports from championship games this weekend.

Very quiet in here last while folks. How we feeling with our chances with the new rules ahead of League starting next weekend?

cavanmaniac · January 22, 2025, 04:01:10 PM

Survive and stay in Sam Maguire anyway, I'd hope. Anything more is a bonus. The Tyrone game last year showed up a lot of mental frailty so I'd expect a stand-still type of year if that nettle isn't grasped. On the other hand, new rules and some new faces will prove interesting, so who knows? A bigger crowd than normal will be out for the first night so hope they get momentum and a feel-good factor going early in the year.

When does the Cavan club season start?

gortnaleck · February 19, 2025, 02:20:12 AM

I'm confused.Cavan are playing against a county team that are being managed by Cavans director of coaching.He can potentially relegate them and knock them from competing for Sam Maguire. Are both counties paying him and who does he want to win

Seems the issue is that while Cavan did employ him and such, the Games Development role had their contracts taken over by Croke Park last Autumn - so while employed by Cavan and working there, legally it's with Croker. If we were to be sceptical on the whole thing, the timing of that contract moving, him leaving Gowna and taking up Westmeath looks a little too perfect. He knows it wouldn't fly last year. And yet here we are now
