Official Cavan GAA Thread

[LackenLegend]

Hello there lads, it has been a while. Don't worry, i've been reading back and am now up to date. Are there many lads missing for Sunday? It's a pity we didn't get to see more of the lads in McKenna Cup.

[cornafean]

I doubt they are looking in, I'd say your the only one with internet access out there in Redland.

To name a few "blow ins" from Killeshandra,
Big Tom
John Joe
Tommy Connolly
Packie Phair
Packie Devlin

"Through the length and breadth of Breifne they are singing one refrain
God rest you John Joe Reilly you were the pride of Killeshandra "




I don't think Big Tom & John Joe could be classed as "blow ins from Killeshandra". They did have Killeshandra addresses (as do half of Cornafean) but Being from the Upper Derries, they went to Corliss School and they played football in Cornafean from the time they were children.

Are most people heading to Longford on Sunday?

Who would you prefer to see in goals Ellliot or Fintan Reilly?

Fintan Reily over Eoin Elliot everytime.

[BallyhaiseMan]

Coming in from edwardstown
You won't find that on a map but when you get to Edgeworthstown  next town is Longford on the Sligo road.
You'll come to a roundabout at the edge of Longford and you need to go right onto the Bypass(Second exit).
Go straight through the next roundabout and when you get to the third one, Pearse park is the first exit off it to the left but as I said you might be as well to park there before the roundabout for a quick getaway. (Altho I'm afraid a lot of us may be gone before it's over!)

Excuse my spelling!

Will it be ok to park there will the car be sitting on blocks when i get back?   

Directions from another thread where I got some help from Cavan4ever and reciprocated it with directions.

And to answer the last question...........now we'd hardly leave 4 good blocks behind would we!!

[mylestheslasher]

Head to longford from Arva and you are heading in the right road. If you come the edgeworthstown road head for Sligo till you get to the Drumlish roundabout and then head into the town. Ground is on the right hand side just a bit along that road

[LackenLegend]

Yeah, it's beside McDonalds isn't it?

[Homer]

Yeah just past McDonalds.

Use to go there every year for the Fr. Manning Cup final. Cavan reqularly made the final and won it on more occasions than not too. A sign of things to come? 

[LackenLegend]

It will be interesting to see how Carr lines out the team. It would be great to see some of the so-called "stars" back and mixed in with the new lads who are playing well. You have to look at Larry to start or at least feature on Sunday. It's no journey to Longford really from any part of Cavan and any Cavan man who can make it should!

[mylestheslasher]

Are the students back available for this weekend?

I fancy Cavan to win this one (providing carr is making it a priority to get promoted and isn't going to use the league like another McKenna cup) . I think it is vital we do and set ourselves up for the next game at home.

[cavan4sam]

Sorry for being away for so long lads, work commitments and all that.

Heard Cavan were pretty good against Wexford on Saturday, Sean Brady is supposed to have performed well at CHB while Rory Dunne was also fairly solid at FB, he was marking Mattie Forde. David Gibney started at a serious pace at midfield catching a few balls and kicking 2 points in the opening 10 minutes but his man also kicked 2 points in the same period, not fond of tracking back. He went off 5 minutes into the second half with sore hamstrings. Mark McKeever was apparently excellent at HF and the star of the show was Larry Reilly kicking 5 points from play. John Tierney played well in the second half when the Wexford players got tired, scored 1-3

Just to go back to the question somebody asked me about Sean and training, he would be kinda lazy i suppose but hopfully with him now injury free we might to get to see the best of him. May be in line to start at CHB on Sunday.

Ill be at the match anyway, apparently Longford are a shambles so hopefully we get off to a winning start!

[cavanmaniac]

Has anyone seen Tierney recently? Is he in good physical shape or carrying alot of weight or what? He seems to be playing well in most games anyway, he's a player I'd love to see getting a good run of matches to see what he can do, which I suspect, is quite a bit.

[cavan4sam]

Tierney seems to be carrying quite a bit of timber but from what i have heard he is actually in the best shape he has been in for a long time.

Looking at the Cavan Hoganstand message board this evening and seen the following post...

Denn Man:      Could everybody please read the last paragraph on the Nuggets AGM update.....

Juvenile AGM
The Juvenile AGM was held on Friday 23rd January with a disappointing turn out of Parents. Tina Mc Cabe stepped down as Chairperson after two years in the position. We thank Tina for her hard word and dedication during her term in office and it was a pleasure to work with her. She has a great love of the game and we will miss her from the Juvenile club. The Juveniles loss is the Ladies Club gain. Tina is First aid officer with the ladies. Thanks again Tina and we wish you every success with our Ladies team. Kieran Knowd was elected as Chairperson.

Senior AGM
The Senior AGM took place on Saturday 24th January with a large turn out for what was a very constructive (and fun) meeting. Sean Reilly stepped down as Club Chairman after 12yrs of service. Sean was an inspirational leader who took a hands on approach to running the club. He was never one to shy away from hard work or decision making and led by example when it came to getting jobs done. Sean succeeded Norbert Hanley in 1996 and guided the club through 12 years of team building and grounds development. He was always available to speak to and had Mountnugent Gaa running through every fibre of his body. Most of the present Senior team were playing underage football ( I said "most") when Sean took office and through an excellent underage structure we now have a team capable of fighting for top honours. Sean has not gone away and has vowed to continue working for the club. He wished all teams' success in the coming year and thanked all club officers and members for their support during his tenure as Chairman. We in turn thank Sean for his hard work and dedication to the club and wish him well in his (semi) retirement
Michael Caffrey succeeds Sean as Chairman. He brings a wealth of experience and knowledge to the position as he has been vice Chairman for a long number of years. We wish to take this opportunity to wish Michael every success in the job and to assure him of our full support as he leads the club to what we hope will be a golden era for Mountnugent GFC.

And Finally
Flynn staggered home very late after another evening with his drinking buddy, Paddy. He took off his shoes to avoid waking his wife, Mary. He tiptoed as quietly as he could toward the stairs leading to their upstairs bedroom, but misjudged the bottom step. As he caught himself by grabbing the banister, his body swung around and he landed heavily on his rump. A whiskey bottle in each back pocket broke and made the landing especially painful.
Managing not to yell, Flynn sprung up, pulled down his pants, and looked in the hall mirror to see that his butt cheeks were cut and bleeding. He managed to quietly find a full box of Band-Aids and with the aid of the mirror began putting a Band-Aid as best he could on each place he saw blood.
He then hid the now almost empty Band-Aid box and shuffled and stumbled his way to bed.
In the morning, Flynn woke up with searing pain in both his head and butt and Mary staring at him from across the room.
She said, "You were drunk again last night weren't you?"
Flynn said, "Why you say such a mean thing?"
"Well," Mary said, "it could be the open front door, it could be the broken glass at the bottom of the stairs, it could be the drops of blood trailing through the house, it could be your bloodshot eyes, but mostly.....it's all those Band-Aids stuck on the hall mirror.
