Saw a piece in the Indo today where Andrews made an approach for Brian Sheridan (joe's brother) at the start of the year.. But he turned it down, he is not involved in the Meath panel but is highly rated, was very good with Dcu a few years ago.. Looks bad tbh as soon as there was talk of Johnston switching to Kildare that Cavan should try and bring in a replacement. Brian Sheridan is eligble to play under the parentage rule, there was no possibility that he would swith with his brother with Meath.

10 years as a reader and sometimes poster on this board folks and a lot of it's been great crack but, like all things it goes through cycles and at the moment is gone a bit to the bad. When it was good it was great and that was mainly due to the fact that there were lads who were close to the action and had a bit of an inside track making this a good spot for genuine info you wouldn't get elsewhere. Unfortunately too many people like myself on here now who are a bit removed from the action and, in fairness to everybody aren't in a position to offer any information that isn't readily available elsewhere. So feckit I'm deleting my account now and am out of here. Will keep reading mind you.

Hope to get back sometime as Anglocelt40.

. Is Damien Sheridan joe Sheridans dad? If so I thought Damien was born in Meath and played for Cavan under the parentage rule as his father Eammon (joes grandfather ) was a Cavan man. Eammon I think was Chairman of the minor board in 74 when Cavan won it. But I think Damien was born in Meath .

On a different note fellas, anyone know the rough dates for club championships this year? Assume its around the middle of July? Just to try and sort out holidays.

Cheers

edit: Just found it here if anyone interested.

Damien Sheridan played with the Maghera MacFinns, and was part of the Junior and Intermediate c-ship winning teams in '74 and '75. Not sure exactly where he was born, but was definitely brought up in Maghera.

Benny · February 18, 2012, 09:08:21 PM

Oh, and yes he is Joe and Brian's Dad.

. I think Damien was born in Meath and played for Cavan under the parentage rule. His father was a Cavanman and had a band that time called the supertones!

The conference will continue with Practical workshops in Kingspan Breffni Park. Please see full details attached.

We urge all clubs to encourage their coaches to attend.

Cost is €15 per delegate and full payment must be received to reserve place. Booking form attached.

Full and updated details can be viewed on the Coaching section of the Cavan GAA website www.cavangaa.ie/Coaching

Closing date for bookings is Friday 2nd March 2012. Places are limited.

Swadman · February 21, 2012, 06:34:00 PM

Cavan GAA Coaching Conference - great idea, hope all clubs support it with at least one person. It will be the only sustainable future for clubs to have their own coaches now that the taxman has his beady eye on the ball of money that has been thrown at "outside" coaches.

PS
I like the new look forum
