cavan gaels must be the most underachieving club in ulster wonderful facilities and huge financial clout

Wonderful facilities? You've obviously never being to Terry Coyle Park. As for financial clout lost that during the recession. Probably the poorest supported team in Cavan.

Arva into intermediate final

With the reds in the junior final all it needs is for Killeshandra to win their semi and all three teams in the parish would be in championship finals which must be some sort of record?

Great to see an open senior championship, Gaels would want to take a look at themselves but great stuff by The stars to win, especially kicking on when tinelly got sent off

Arva would need to improve for the final based on that performance.

Brendan Murray had a brilliant game for Killygarry and scored probaly the goal of the championship. Killygarry play a nice brand of football. Kingscourt deserving winners over Cavan Gaels. Chesty and Dominic Reilly badly missed for them. Barry Reilly was quality from dead balls.

Good preparation for thechampionship.  5 home games (we nave layed so often in Brewster Park it's almost like home)

[comeysfield]

Take the positives Last two games at home  tough opener against Tyrone put might be the time to get them

[Itchy]

Could be worse, some juicy games there and 4 home games for a change

A lot of 50:50 games as I see it, you could easily get relegated if not up for it adequately or you could push into promotion contention. As we all know Cavan need forwards. Its critical we get Givney and Keating back in there and try and develop some of the other lads. Since Terry is staying I hope the players give him their full commitment for what is surely his last year.

Two big games at the weekend. Following from a distance you would have to fancy Kingscourt to beat Killygarry and maybe Castlerahan to beat Killeshandra as they wont be ambushed this time - hope I am wrong about the later.

From what I have seen I wouldn't be a bit surprised to see Killygarry beat Kingscourt, Killeshandra wont be afraid of Castlerahan,They play fast direct football. Wouldn't it be great for Cavan Football to see a novel Killygarry V Killeshandra final.

[mrdeeds]

Not if you're from Castlerahan and Kingscourt.

[mrdeeds]

Castlerahan about 10 points the better team last night. Killeshandra have a great goalkeeper. Paul lukie best player on pitch.

[mylestheslasher]

Had a feeling Rahan would be better prepared  this time, still a great year for Killeshandra and hopefully the experience can drive them on next year. I was a bit surprised seeing Cornafean losing to Templeport.

Why did it surprise you? Templeport beat them in the League and lost to them by a point in the first round after being 4 up with 10 minutes to go.

Templeport were excellent yesterday. Play a nice style of football, all very comfortable on the ball. Very impressive from a Junior side. Benjamin Kelly is developing into a marvellous footballer. Started at Full Forward and kicked two lovely points. Came out to wing back in the second half and pulled all the strings. Once Cornafean went man to man Liam Galligan cut loose (thanks to Kiernan's distribution) and Cornafean couldn't live with him.
The referee was letting a lot go and it wasn't suiting Templeport at the start, Kelly and Galligan were denied some stonewall frees but once Lasse Morgenroth began to dole out the hits things opened up a bit more and Templeport ran the game.
They all played well but the lads above as well as Liam McAweeney and Michael Devine were the driving force.

The scoreline flattered Cornafean, Templeport never looked in trouble. Unless Corlough can upset the odds they'll be playing in Division 2B as well as intermediate. With 3 starters having played Minor this year and 7 more still U21 next year it will be interesting to see how this side develop.

[mylestheslasher]

I just thought the reds would win, nothing against Templeport. In fact I am happy to see them win, its been a long time.

[rodney trotter]

It wouldn't have been a surprise result but Cornafean have thereabouts in Junior for the last few years, in the last 4 junior Semi's before this year. They beat Templeport  last year  in the quarter final.

Templeport scored a goal directly  from a 45 in the earlier championship meeting, they weren't all over Cornafean in that game. No teams no going down from intermediate this year so Cornafean will fancy their chances next year.
