Much better this half but still a lot of wayward passes. Just got the equaliser.
Very very poor. The shot selection is terrible and the wrong people shooting. Meath lightyears better in that half. They should be ahead by 10.
Terrible first half from Cavan,only for a few bad wides from Shane Walsh Meath would be a lot further ahead
Ryan Brady for Oisin Kiernan only change. Carolan goes to FB line. Conor Brady in subs but no McVeety or Oisin Castlerahan
The Fermanagh Armagh game has been rescheduled to 2 pm Sunday, subject to a pitch inspection in the morning. Cavan could be top of the League tonight. And then hope that some calamitous climate disaster stops any more games being played.

2pm inspection complete and game still on.
Any word on the inspection at 2 pm yet?
Ryan Brady named to start. Conor in the subs. Oisin Kiernan (Denn) drops out.
Well I'm going throwing snowballs at Meath fans, might put a stone into them for old times sake.
Thanks folks
ALL SYSTEMS GO.........
Following a pitch inspection this morning Cavan County Board v Meath GAA will go ahead aslong as the weather does not deteriorate.
A further pitch inspection will take place at 2pm

Where did ye hear this info. If true, that's great. Bitter cold though!
It’s on if it doesn’t rain any more which is a possibility, there’s another inspection at 2.
Game ON !
The snow is still lieing on the fields. Doesn’t seem to be melting. I can’t see the game going ahead tonight. Podcast thought tomorrow but I think that’s even looking unlikely at present.
I remember back in 2018 I think it was the game got delayed a week and Meath offered Pairc Tailteann at the time. The Meath supporters were grumbling when Cavan CB said no but it was a bit of cute hoorism. They can’t have ever expected Cavan to give up home advantage.
Yeah that 2005 was a sweet one and if I recall it was Sean Boylans last game at the helm...
Hoping for a win this weekend just to cement our place in all ireland series than anything
Not too fussed on a race for promotion
O rourke won't like to make it easy for us and again it's hard to see either team finishing with 15
Hopefully it'll go ahead and our momentum will continue
Weather looks okay from now until tomorrow evening I think. The game should go ahead. If not, it will be rescheduled to Sunday I'd imagine.
I seem to recall that we had a game against Meath a few years ago when the game was rescheduled because of the pitch and it suited us well because of injuries. (Might be wise to try the same again.....?)
I'll never forget the qualifier against Meath in Clones in 2005. Electric atmosphere and weather was fab (I think.) We beat them and the Meath support were very sore that day and I remember Cavan folk letting them know about it, to the point where things seemed close to getting out of of control. I suppose Kells in 97 was still very much fresh in the memory. It was as if Clones was sort of a home game for us in a way. A huge crowd turned out that day And the town was really buzzing.
I recall a McKenna Cup game in like 2019 in Ballyconnell, against one of the Uni sides. Kingscourt had a game around then too, but can't remember when. Don't think we played a League game there since the 2000s
Actually still alot of snow lying towards cavan from Lavey on.
The snow is gone all around where i am its 5 degrees fingers crossed it will be playable tomorrow night.
I doubt it, Kingsourt probably isnt even sanctioned for county matches anymore and you need to have assessment done for capacity/insurance. Plus tickets already sold could mean you would have more sold than Kingscourt could hold. I cant remember when did Cavan last play a game there?
That would be standard for drainage on a sand based pitch. Have recently been involved in developing a pitch, there is a tank that takes the initial splurge of rain of the pitch and holds. Over time the tank will release the water into the ground. I have no idea if there is on in Breffni but the pitch was redone a while back and I remember them saying at the time that the previous drainage system had been found to be damaged and had to be re-done. Is there a thaw over there yet?
How reliable is your source? Can you go back to them for more information?
is it an urban myth or something, but i heard their is a tank like a slatted tank under the pitch in breffni to take water off the surface? sounds amazing but i might have ben filled up with BS.
I'd say it will most likely be moved to Sunday if it isn't playable tomorrow.
There could be a switch of venue. Kingscourt ??
Thats alot of water for any field to take even if there is a thaw today and tomorrow but fingers crossed. You could be right tazman06, There is a week off after meath so id imagine if not on saturday itll be next week instead so break is welcomed for the cavan side.
Lot of snow on the surface alright. Will have to see if it melts ahead of tomorrow
I wonder would that suit us? Seems we're a lot of men down, and some lads might be walking wounded after that bruising encounter with louth on Sunday. A break might do us good (although saying that I want the game tomorrow to keep things going)
