Roscommon V Cavan

Roscommon beat Cavan, go a year without a competitive win, until, you've guessed it, they get to play Cavan again.

There'll be about 100 Cavan fans at the Antrim game next month. The wheels have truly come off now lads...

Only for Antrim messing up so spectacularly today, i'd have put a few quid on them against Cavan. Cavan are bad at the minute, but should still have expectations of taking Antrim.

They should alright but I think Antrim have home advantage and clearly, they'll have more morale to work with despite today's setback. What is it about Waterford on the last day of the NFL?

One bad result doesn't mean Antrim are the shambles we are. They can get back on track. We don't even know where the track is to get back on it, in fact I'd say Keogan isn't even aware there is a track.

Ah lads, why did ye have to go and win one.

Sympathy over. Let normal rivalry resume.

Mighty to get a win at last! Great for Paul Early and the lads, they showed a bit of character yesterday when it would of been easy to feel sorry for themselves and hide behind recent events as an excuse. All in all it was a terrible league and it showed we are currently not in a position to compete with the top teams.

Mike Ryan will have his work cut out - facing Galway first in the championship is not ideal and will possibly mean a decent run in the qualifiers is our best bet.

God wasnt it only great to see a Ros senior team winning a game at last.
But boy did they make me sweat - waiting till injury time to finish it off.
We had an awful first half brightened only by Jonny Dunning's excellent goal.
the 3rd Quarter was nip and tuck as we improved bit by bit as some confidence started to come back to the lads. Also the changes made during the game strengthened the team and tightened up the defence a bit.
A storming finish with a well taken penalty and a great point by Mannion to get us the 2 points.
The lads reactions showed what it menat to them - you'd think they had won a Championship Final

.
We have a long way to go before we start to worry teams again but at least a first step has been taken. Well a 2nd really -first was the resignation of the Tanman.
