That scoreline is unbelievable.i have never heard of that before if its true! I know the Stars are going well but thats a bit much.Surely Cunningham or Corrigan kicked a free or 2??
Tipping bit of a game in Drumalee yesterday evening.1-11 to 14. Down by 4 points with 5 minutes to go and we scored 1-1 in last few minutes. Keith Fannin was outstanding,playing as a 3rd midfielder he was given a free role and looked very impressive.For Drumalee Enda McCormick was again outstanding.

That score in Kingscourt is indeed correct. Even if it were the whipping boys of the division you'd expect some sort of response. Drumlane are the most hot and cold club in Cavan. They battled their way up over the past 15 years to Division 1 and in their first season up, in a relegation battle, didn't bother field a team for a game (against Castlerathan I think) and down they went.

Dont remember that happening? That was only 2007 when they went down.Cant remember them being in a play-off,thought they went straight down because they only won 2 games all year??
Butlersbridge pitch is the pits,theres a hole in the bottom right hand side of the pitch and it looks like a meteor hit it!

[put-it-up]

Aye boojangles i noticed that..we had a small cornerforward playing and his wee legs looked like they were struggling to get up and down that hill...When he was in the middle of it, we could only see the top half of his body

Any word on the Cavan game?

Not a play-off boojangles but there were 2 or 3 teams going into the last few games of the year that could go up/stay down. I think it was Drumlane, Kingscourt & Castlerathan and the former two went. There was some messing about re-arraning the game to suit a stag or a wedding and when their opponents wouldn't move the game to a desirbable time/date the Sons of O'Connell just gave it away.

Any news on the Cavan game today?? Anybody make the trip??

[offthebeatentrack]

Didn't go to it myself. Heard the lads lost by a few points. Didn't get any analysis of the game. Anyone hear any reports?

[D Best Full Forward ever]

Final score was
Galway 2-11 Cavan 0-13
No other information

[mylestheslasher]

Well at least it wasn't a hammering.

[D Best Full Forward ever]

Exactly better to lose to teams like Galway and learn something than play some of the lesser counties

[BallyhaiseMan]

better than i thought it would be,We arent anywere near Galways lstandard at the moment so im happy with that.
Ourselves and Cootehill played out an interesting draw 0-14 to ourselves 2-08 Saturday evening. We lead 2-03 to 0-1
Cootehill then outscored us 0-12 to 0-01 over a 30 minute period in the middle of the game,Mark Brennan kicked a great score with the last kick of the game to equalise.
Celt Man what did you think of the game?

[whats my name]

red and black how did eoin smith get on did you hear anything? good result for cavan hopefully will give them a confidence boost going into championship.

Didn't here much from the result only that Cavan played well with Galway's goals the only difference between the sides. Was given a quick run through the team...

Miller - came off second half with a tight quad, nothing serious

Fannin - followed Clancy out the field, played ok
Ted - played quite well overall
Hannon - got a bit of a roasting from Nicky Joyce

Podge - Played well
Keating - Unusual position for him, got a run around from Sean Armstrong
McCuthceon - Played well

Walsh - OK
Givney - OK

Mackey - Excellent
Cullivan - Not great
Sean Brady - Didn't hear
Jason - Played well
A.N Other ??
Pearson - Played well

In other news, Mulvey injured the hamstring during the week so will be out for a little while. There's also rumours abound that McCabe has quit the panel, not sure how true they are. Has anyone else heard anything?

Ballinagh lost out to Belturbet on Saturday by 6. A tight enough game throughout, Belturbet only pulled away in the last few minutes as Ballinagh threw everything forward but the Rories deserved the win. Jason showed his class up front, and kicked a couple of excellent points.

And lastly, that Drumlane result is shocking!

Celt Man what did you think of the game?

Ehh I'm still not too sure how I feel about the game, obviously we got off to a terrible start and 7 points down a few minutes into the second half, I would have taken a draw but anytime time you're winning in injury time and you end up drawing the game you are a little disappointed.  We missed an awful lot, think it was nearly 10 wides in the first half alone and a good few more when we were really on top in the second half.  Maybe though in the end both sides would have been happy enough with a draw, seen as both sides were missing a lot from their championship 15... Were you playing yourself??
BTW what's the story with Cullivan?? He didn't play on Saturday for you but he could play for Cavan in a challenge on Sunday??  Am I missing something here??

Think Martin Reilly was the An other but dont know if he was playing full forward. Heard he scored 5 points.
