At the start of the year the most important thing was promotion to Div 2. Achieved. The league final showed us that teams knew how to play us.

Very poor just about sums it up. Mid field non-existent not sure how some lads stays on the field. Not trying to name names here as it is not really fair. Then playing 3 forwards in defense means that it just shows us up for what we are. Not sure they are forwards anymore as they are not allowed shoot anyway. I think we now have a system in Cavan where we do not let lads play football at all. We do not even let them play football with the clubs. It will need a bit of thought for us to turn this around and stay in Division 2. To me it just started to look like lads going through the motions in that second half. God knows we do not want to go back there. Hopefully lads will get a good rest from the county now. Well give it two weeks and club championship time.

It'd make ya sick to look at it. We dont have to be playing like Dublin, but at this stage we are playing by far the worst style of football in the country. Something needs to change, we have gone backwards this year and as far as I can see it is because we have been playing in an even more negative fashion than last year. The u21 semi was the worst ive seen all year, lads afraid to shoot. It has to stop soon because they wont know any other way. Its giving a proud county like Cavan a terrible name too.

And still lost that game by 1 point to Dublin, looked what happened Roscommon when they naively went man to man with Dublin in the All Ireland final.

Good U16 team again this year, been impressive in the Gerry Reilly tournament, play Dublin on Sunday 7.30 Oldcastle in a repeat of last years final. Dublin no doubt will be strong again.

Well Championship starts off this weekend so

Gaels or Castlerahan for senior ?

Cootehill or will this be the year Ballyhaise finally get a cure of the yips

Junior should be Arva but then it should have been Arva last year as well

rodney trotter · July 23, 2014, 01:54:12 PM

Castlerahan have a good panel but missing Ronan Flanagan and Cian Mackey will probaly cost them. Mackey is suppose to be out for 3 months. Kingscourt have Barry Tully back this year after being in London last year, and Christy McGowan ex Leitrim player now playing for them.
Ramor have lots of talent but yet to make a real impact in the Senior Championship,
Hard to see Ballinagh retaining the Senior title. Gaels will want to impress under Canavan, they have injuries too.

Ballyhaise were going well in the League but Tierney is out for a while i think

Arva lost Bouhier to the States for the summer so he will be a miss, probaly should have enough until he comes back. Cornafean will be thereabouts, Ballymacugh too.

Where are you getting this info that Mackey is out for 3 months? I was told he has 4 more weeks to go plus the 3 weeks that have passed since he stopped with Cavan so 7 weeks out in total. If they can get past the first round proper they will have him and flanagan back which would be a massive help

comeysfield · July 24, 2014, 09:54:44 AM

Did the U16 game against Dublin happen yet

I saw someone mention it on boards.ie. Although probaly shouldnt read much what they say on there.
They put up a nice score last week in the Breffni League final.

Promising stuff from the U16s, have hammered everyone in the Gerry Reilly tournament and gave the Dubs a bit of a pasting this evening 1-16 to 1-08 to win the Cup. There's obviously a half decent pool of talent there, our next minor manager appointment is very important.

Zulu · July 29, 2014, 01:19:40 PM

Lads, can any of you tell who the management team are for the Cavan junior football team?

Same as seniors afaik.

Zulu · July 29, 2014, 03:52:37 PM

I know Terry Hyland is manager of the seniors but would anyone have the names of the selectors, if they are the same as the senior set up? A friend of mine is involved in producing the programme for Scotland v Cavan and they haven't been able to get the information of the Cavan CB as far as i know.
