Official Cavan GAA Thread

[sidelineball]

Gave the All -Ireland champs a good hiding. Cavan still in second gear, could we be ready to claim back Ulster and take the next step? Definitely more in that team.

[Itchy]

A good performance and good to see few forwards scoring and some key men getting game time but lads Tyrone were beyond woeful. Still you can only beat what's in front of you.

[Westside]

Was really happy with the attitude and approach of the Cavan team. Still lots of poor play going forward when we were absolutely dominant we managed to fluff several goal chances. Oddly, we will have far tougher tests in Division 4 but it's been a promising start to the year. The League is being taken seriously, no doubt about that.

[Look-Up!]

Great result tonight. I know you can question what kind of team Tyrone put out there but it's preseason and we're preparing for a very important league campaign and that should have guaranteed us another game.

Though Oisin Brady done well again.  Patrick Lynch with some really good scores off either foot. He's capable of being a very good County forward but  was given a lot of space tonight.

Cavan look in good shape.  In previous Mckenna cup campaigns a few looked noticeably out of shape

Great stuff tonight, yes Tyrone had holidays and a weakened team but McGeary, McCurry, Harte, Hampsey, Meyler etc still all played.

We turned up prepared and ready for battle, which we failed to do last year in the league especially. Now let's push on and get back up the divisions and give Ulster a rattle.

Our weakness is still the full forward line. We need to start putting away goals, we just find it very difficult and are lacking that quality inside like the top teams. I did think Caoimhin O'Reilly looked sharp there when he came on and is capable of doing a good job in there if he gets a run.

Lynch had a good point ruled wide by the umpire. Tyrone also had a few soft frees for 2 of their points.

There was some good scores by the forwards but as you said there was a lot of space and plenty missed opportunities to work on.

You're right, most of All Ireland winning team so there's no excuses.

4 started from the all ireland final, you must have a different definition of the word 'most'.

LOL even if the whole AI winning team started they were less than 48hours home from a 2 week piss up with no training completed. People reading far too much into that game.

[Westside]

Nobody is reading anything into the game. Everyone is well aware of the circumstances surrounding the result.

[Itchy]

Have we any players involved in the Sigerson

Few line ups I checked. Darragh Kennedy played for UCD earlier. Donal Keappock (Drumgoon Éire Óg) came on for Carlow IT.

Few more here:

Also
Sligo IT:  L Molloy (Cavan Gaels) M McGahern (Mullahoran)

Think Thomas Galligan is playing for Ulster University tonight but can't get a line up.

Ah Ref on Twitter has all the Sigerson Panels. Caoimhin O Reilly was with DCU for the Ryan Cup, but on Cavan panel yesterday.

Shane Hanley was on the Maynooth panel against DCU.
