The Official Cavan GAA Discussion thread.

Didnt Clarke start on McGurn last week?

the Gunner could start on him and Faulkner could be moved out further.

Conor Casey would have been on the Minor team 3 years which was beaten by Monaghan. Why was he not involved with the U20s this year. Some of the shot selection was really poor, Madden took on a shot from about 40 yards near the end. He did kick some good scores but has to show more composure.

Daire Madden and Lovett underage again next year. Madden has advantage over Lovett in that he has good size. But needs to fill out more for Senior County

Casey was on the panel and left it. He definitely was listed on the panel at a game I was at and he was playing for Gowna at the weekend. Maybe he was injured and only back was on it at some stage

Casey played College football with Maynooth. They reached fresher final in February against DCU. Maybe that was his focus, but County football not for everyone.

We have a national hurling title, congratulations to all involved,

First half was really poor standard from both teams. Kick passing, handling, shooting. Fermanagh deserved to be ahead but they were very wasteful. Cavan stepped it up in second half. subs were good. Galligan kicked some good frees/45s. Paddy Lynch was a bit sluggish, not fully fit. Missed a few frees but couple of good scores. Gearoid Mckiernan was low key. Ciaran Brady was very good.

The finals tomorrow will be likely faster paced and higher standard.

Mckenna missed out on some valuable game time due to a stupid yellow which could cost him a championship place.

Second half was better but I hope there is alot more in the tank as it will be needed the next day.

Can't understand how a lad can go from hobbling around in a protective boot to playing 70+ minutes...

I was surprised by that. I thought if they had gone to the extent of putting a protective boot on him, that they’d have kept him for Armagh.

I still think it’s great to win a cup even if it is Division 3. In the 2010s, we were in 3 League finals and didn’t win one so back to back titles now is great.

It's always good to win a final when you get to one. That's three in a row. Hard to know what Graham is up to he has a plan no doubt.

The great philosopher Ciaran McKeever reckons the Ulster Championship is on its knees, and the All Ireland series -Round robin format is where they will be peaking for.

Getting the excuses in ,incase Armagh have another no show in Ulster.

True, but Armagh are in the Ulster preliminary round. They could play potentially 4 games in Ulster and another 4 in the All Ireland Round Robin series to reach the All Ireland quarters,unless they win Ulster.

They start against the worst team in Ulster though. They’ve also avoided the two favourites Derry & Tyrone who are on the other side of the draw.

I know people from Armagh that I’ve spoken to are more worried about coming to Breffni than they are about the potential of Donegal.

They have told me they’ve a poor record there. They must be about the only county because Breffni is far from a fortress for Cavan.

McLoughlin for me changed the game. Great to have him back.

As you said KTF, great to have management being so proactive. Graham referenced learning lessons from the Westmeath game when changes were made too late. No room for sentiment and even if McKenna was annoyed, it was the right call. For what is worth, i don't think it was a booking. One of those sloppy tackles, but the Fermanagh lad bought the booked by making it look like there was contact around his neck, and once McKenna was carded he was up off the deck.

Antrim are the worst team in Ulster. They had some strange results in the League. Beat Down in Newry, absolutely hammered by Westmeath,beat Cavan and lose at Longford.

I see one of the Antrim players said in an interview their S/C has improved a lot since Andy McEntee because manager. They'll be able for the physical stuff if nothing else.
