We got a look at what would've happened to Cavan if they played open football against Dublin today.

Cavan's defensive abilities look more impressive after we seen what happened Roscommon today.

Seniors beat Galway in a challenge 2-14 to 1-12. Dunne and Hyland with the goals. Sounded like it was a second string side from Cavan.

I think he did

Gearoid didn't play at the weekend, he had a scan Sunday and is out for two to three weeks with a slight groin tear.

Not sure if any of you have read todays celt but it is being reported that Killian Clarke is considering leaving the county panel to go and play ball in the US. That would be a really big loss. Id be very disappointed if it were to be true but hopefully they can talk him around. Does it tell us something about the ambition in the team to win Ulster? If he goes I think we should wish him the best though, he has had 3 long seasons playing U21 and senior, a bit of notice would have been helpful I'm sure to Terry and the team.

There was stories floating around last year too before the championship about players going away. This seems to be true when it's in the Celt, shouldn't have made himself available for the Seniors this year if he was planning to head away. He might stay yet. Played a lot of football over the last few years and probaly wants a break,

He wanted to go last year but stayed on so it's no surprise if he is going this year.

Its a surprise he was part of the Senior panel this year at all.

tommysmith · May 14, 2014, 05:45:42 PM

He didn't play a big part though, will be a miss for championship.

Westside · May 14, 2014, 06:32:32 PM

You can't blame him for making himself available for the panel this year.. He could have made the decision at any stage you can't expect him to not make plans to travel, he's only 21 years old. Best of luck to the lad if he goes, he's been at the heart of a lot of our good days over the last 3 years. Big loss for the team obviously, he is probably the best defender we have and the one who seems to come to the fore when the real pressure is on. Still, there's lots of hungry lads in there mad for a spot on the side so this is their chance.

It doesn't matter if he is 21 or 31, if he was planning to go to America for the summer he could have just concentrated with the u21s for the year as he wanted to go to America last year. Goodluck to him anyway a great talent and earn a few quid in America for the summer, break might do him good, he had a lot of disappointments with Club , College and County in the last 12 months.

So you know he made the decision at the start of the year? Quit talking through your arse rodney. Anyone begrudging the lad, regardless of when he made the decision to go, needs a reality check.

rodney trotter · May 14, 2014, 06:55:17 PM

Good man Westside, you are contradicting yourself in 12 months

I wouldn't be overly happy with lads leaving after we were knocked out of Ulster, being realistic a bit of a qualifier run is what this team should be looking to directly after we exit Ulster. This is another situation where it's hard to blame them for wanting to go, it's amateur and you're only young and fit once.. But it's disappointing from a supporters perspective to think that the belief isn't there in some players. All assuming there's any truth to this of course.

If lads have decided to go when we exit the championship completely then good luck to them. If lads have decided to fly out after the 19th regardless then they shouldn't have committed for the year IMO.

And no I'm not begruding him anything , just curious why he opted to play Senior this YEAR if wanted to go last summer. Goodluck to him
