The Official Cavan GAA Discussion thread.

That would be great. There should be a culture of hard work they come into, nothing should come easy, but hard work should always be rewarded too regardless of experience. Likewise if standards have dropped, so should the person, regardless of experience.

It was a strong panel in 2016. The likes of Keating was coming in off the bench. Givney was playing full forward. The last year either player featured with Cavan. The likes of Monaghan and Armagh hold on to their players a lot longer.

any word of who is in for the job of running the development squads?

Don’t know why it says Reserve championship on the above!

I definitely remember hearing something about lads "wanting a fresh approach". I also seem to remember that the county board were only willing to give Terry one more year as opposed to something more long-term. I may be completely off the mark there.

Either way, at the time I thought it was one of the most ludicrous decisions ever made. Barring 2014, year on year there was progress and the football we played in 2016 was superb. On a practical basis, Terry had earned the right to have a crack at division one football. In hindsight, maybe what was needed was freshing up the backroom team (which seems to be the norm now). He was a brilliant manager and didn't get the credit he deserved, then or now.

That was the semi final against Meath. They play Kildare in the final. Terry Hyland done a good job and the next appointment after was important but there wasn't much interest at the time which looked strange. James Horan, Anthony Cunnigham, Pat Gilroy some of the names that were approached and turned it down. It came down to Mattie McGleenan and Banty.

I see Packie Leddy was man of the match in Division 2 League final in Mayo today.

That looks a tough enough job to be taking on. Leitrim will do well to stay up in Division 3. They were well off the pace in the Division 4 final against Laois, and faded badly against Wicklow in Tailtean Cup. He was part of the management in 24 so obviously see's some potential. The best forward Keith Beirne didn't play this year.

Not a big issue really. With the stream service he would see plenty of games ,and they have games from Thursday to Sunday so lots of games to get around when he is not playing.

If it was a knockout championship it might be a issue with a smaller number of games to view.

Yeah Laverty still playing with Kilcoo. Vinny Corey was playing with Clontibret while managing Monaghan. Galligan is 37 so still capable of playing.

Also the fact that there are games from Thursday to Sunday usually so he will have three days free himself to go so every chance to see every team in action.

Isn't it six between the u16 and u15 squad. Dermot McCabe over u16 squad I believe.

Doubt McCabe too happy today. Silly decisions cost them, should have had the win wrapped up. Great battling from Kingscourt, very competitive performance from them but looked to be hanging in just about for a good period, especially after the red. But they stuck at it and got their draw with the last kick of the game rattling the onion bag. Good game overall I thought.

4-14 and poor shooting. Jesus.

Drung after beating Knockbride and Belturbet in the first 2 rounds in Junior. A few ex County players back playing with them Barry Watters and Ciaran Galligan. The Reilly brothers would be a loss Tiernan and Caolan ,but they are doing well without them.
