Not much point making championship predicitons just yet is there? So many variables to take in like hat clubs will be hit with emigration?

On our group we would be pretty pleased. Killeshadra will be favourites but hard to know how Swad will shape up after their adventures this year..

No senior game this weekend so I'd say the board will remain quiet. I saw against Waterford that we had 28 subs. I thought GAA said only panels of 26 are allowed now?

28 subs - must be a new record to have 43 togged out for a match!

[Westside]

Cavan joint-managers Val Andrews and Terry Hyland have made four changes to their side for the Allianz National League Division 3 clash with Limerick on Sunday.

Dermot Sheridan and Martin Cahill return to the back line with Gareth Smith and Michael Brennan restored to the attack for the trip the Gaelic Grounds.

Patrick Carroll, Damien O'Reilly, Gearoid McKiernan and Gerard Pierson are the quartet to make way.


The Breffni men will be attempting to win away from home for the first time since the opening game of the 2010 NFL campaign, when they put 2-20 past Roscommon at Dr Hyde Park.

They lie in fifth place in Division 3 with three points from as many games while Limerick have endured a torrid start to their first season back in the division, losing to Tipperary, Waterford and Offaly.

Throw-in at the Limerick venue is at 1pm on Sunday afternoon.

Cavan (SF v Limerick): J Reilly; A Clarke, D Sheridan, S Jordan; M McKeever, J McCutcheon, M Cahill; R Cullivan, P O'Reilly; R Flanagan, K Fannin, G Smith; C Mackey, M Brennan, S Johnston.


No huge surprises, some more experience included for a tough trip to Limerick. No U-21s included I would imagine..

It's basically a turning point in the league, if we win now promotion is a real possibility, lose and we're in the relegation dogfight again..

[Celt_Man]

Great to see some of them boys back... Martin Cahill is far better suited to the half back than to the corner - where he has played a good deal of football for Cavan

Nesty, along with Jelly, was the main man in attack for me last year so great to have him back. 

Like Westside says, a win it's all on for promotion and a loss and it's all on heading the opposite direction.

Pity I won't get to see the bloody game - not sure if I hate himself enough to listen to it on Northern Sound

[Dougal]

cavan are at 6/4,if my u21 bets for tonight come in and it stays at that price ill be putting a good bit on a cavan win.limerick have been poor so far and with those players comming back into the team i think we'll be hard enough beat.midfield still seems a bit dodgy though,wheres givney?cahill is a great addition in the half backs,and dermot isnt the worst full back weve had in the last few years,nesty and brennan are also big threats in the forwards.this looks close to a championship starting team.

[PhilsJemmysField]

Apparently U21 were playing a challenge at the weekend anybody hear how they got on

[BigMac]

It's good to see Nesty back. Was one of the best we had last year. His free taking alone is almost worth his place. As you say Dougal, we've had plenty of worse full backs in the last few years, although I do think he is better out the field, he can definitely do a job in there. Cahill is also a big improvement on Damien O Reilly in my opinion. Pierson I would imagine will still get some game time, so all in all I'm very hopeful/confident of a win. Just on Givney, he isn't under 21 is he? Sigerson is over, he's supposedly injury free, where is he? We've all been talking about him being the future of Cavan mid field for ages now. He's now 22, the future is now. At this age he should be the main stay in the engine room. If he is going to be a top midfielder in Ulster/ Ireland he needs to start playing. Probably not his fault that he's not playing but it's time he started to live up to his reputation. Sean Cavanagh had an All Star and all Ireland at 20. Aidan Walsh had an All Star and all Ireland at 20. It's time we stopped wrapping him in cotton wool and let him play.

heard they were well bet by down. full back line was destroyed as was Gearoid in midfield. o meara the goalkeeper let in a few soft goals too (think it was four!!!!!) i heard need to get that position sorted fast. barry reilly quiet, leddy was the best of the forwards.

Louth will be sticky this weekend is it home or in away?
