True, I suppose if there is nobody up to the standard in the Clubs, they have no option but to look outside.

Its easy enough to get people up to standard. You invest in coaching in the club rather than investing in outside managers who fleece clubs and win them nothing.

All clubs do good work under age, It's a different matter at Senior level the commitment requried to manage at Senior level .. especially the way Club football is run in Cavan.

Our own club has a local man for next year ,

Are the county team playing any challenge games this christmas? I know they used to play Meath in Oldcastle on 27t or 28th but heard nothing about it. Also heard they played Westmeath but were beaten, anyone know anything about that game?

[mrdeeds]

They didn't play Westmeath. Played Louth. Bet them well. Turloch Mooney broke and dislocated his ankle. Used to play a tournament in Kells with Meath and Offaly but that doesn't seem to have happened this year.

[rodney trotter]

That Westmeath rumour was from Hoganstand. They didn't play them.

Played Louth in Darver and won well. Think they played Meath last year a few days after Christmas last year in Oldcastle, could be the same again this year.

I should know better than listening to the shite that is written on hoganstand, my bad. Sad news about Mooney, another man who can take a score. Any idea how long he will be out for. Dislocated and broken sounds like a long injury

[Westside]

Round 3 and Round 4 against Down and Kildare are to be shown on Setanta. Great news for those of us who can't make every game. Let's hope it in no way affects the players.

County board very slow in putting McKenna cup panel on twitter Celt has it this week.

Who is different from last year? I have no Celt this week!

[tommysmith]

I just had quick look and said I would look at twitter later it was in the shop. Wright from castlerahan and morris from arva are two I think. Apparently Raymond  galligan from lacken is in as a goalkeeper/freetaker.

Bout 10 lads with colleges who were not named.

[Itchy]

Galligan is a brilliant free taker but has no pace for outfield but a keeper? That's a bit mad or could it be a master stroke?

They will probably try it out for a while but I doubt if the other two keepers would be happy with it.

[Westside]

Big win for the 21s today beating Meath by 13 points. Sounds like Connolly Hayes and Madden did almost all of the scoring. Roscommon and Kerry also in the group so it's an uphill task from here to get out of the group.

[mylestheslasher]

U21 team that lined out today was...

Darren O Donoghue
John Carney
Mark Magee
Fergal Reilly
Gerrard Smith
Aaron Watson
Jonathan Leddy
Kian Monahan
Kevin Brady
Niall Clerkin
Conor Madden
Jonathon McCabe
Conor Bradley
Tom Hayes
Ryan Connolly

Subs Named: Mark Fegan, Cormac Daly, Barry Fortune, Dan Wharton, Eoin Sommerville, Brian Magee, Brian O Connell, Conall Sheridan, Cathal Maguire

From following on twitter I'd guess Connolly hit 1-7 or so, Hayes and Madden made 0-2 or 0-3 each.

By my reckoning they were without Argue, Buchanan, Faulkner, Ciaran Brady and Enda Flanagan all of whom will almost certainly be starting come championship time.

Anyone care to match the clubs to the players?
