Another season. All in all we have to be happy enough with Rays first year. Managed to stay in division 2 without playing that well in many of the games.
Beating Monaghan in the championship was a very good result. As for the group stages we came up against three teams way ahead of us and will hopefully learn from that experience now we know what it needs to play at that level.
Managed to blood a couple of new players and that will stand to us next year.
Now all attention will turn to the club championship and hopefully a few lads will put their hands up for the county team next year.
The Gaels look to be back judging from the league so far, Ramor are playing some lovely stuff, Gowna & the Lough and Kingscourt will be there as always.
Here's hoping for an exciting few months ahead.
Don’t be getting ahead of yourself there. There’s a big difference between minor & senior.
Good effort by both teams
I only caught first half of minor game but they looked to be moving well unfortunately they couldn't keep the momentum going
Seniors I listened to on shannonside which was a hell of a lot more entertaining than the NS pair
It was a shot to nothing today glad we didn't get a hiding but disappointed we didn't get something out of it... It was that sort of a game
A good effort from the minors, the usual trait of poor decision making and execution up front lost it for them. 5 points flattered Kildare.
I thought it was a great game. Lots of good players in that Cavan side, hopefully they stick at it and keep developing. Shehu, Clarke, Nwaneri, Madden are talented lads.
About as frustrating a performance as it gets. Hard luck to the lads, some good footballers there and some brilliant play up to the final third as you said.
The latest installment of a Cavan team finding a way to lose. Our decision making and basic passing in final third has been shocking.
Yep, we had the better of them for long spells. Hopefully our sloppy play doesn't come back to bite us and we have enough left in the tank to kick on. Expended a huge amount of energy there to ultimately waste some great chances.
Level at half time, an awful lot of unforced errors for both teams. It looks like Cavan will have wind in 2nd half judging by the flags. We need to be a bit more clinical in attack, couple of poor passes or wrong options taken scuppering a few decent chances.

Is the minor game streamed anywhere?
The best midfielder in county is u17.
You would fit in well over on Hoganstand !
It's a bit irrelevant about Caoimhin Reilly, he's no longer on the panel.
I’d expect to see changes. It wouldn’t surprise me to see Lovett or Conor Madden start. The word I got on Dara earlier in the year was he’d only be back for club but then he did miraculous things to get himself fit for the first round of Championship vs Donegal in 2018 after pulling up in the League Final.
Also, Caoimhin Reilly not gone abroad yet. He played for the Bridge last night I’m told.
Forgot to mention the minors, very best of luck to them. Raging I won't make it, terrible time.
Decent bit of mobility to that defence. Is it the Denn or Castlerahan Kiernan starting?
Firmer ground and nippy forwards never suited the gunner too much, might be best off the bench rather than picking up an early yellow and walking on egg shells.
Hope there's scores in that forward unit. Not terribly obvious mind, but it's all on the day and you hope something will click for some of them.
Best of luck to the lads anyway. PP has the Rossies at -4, about right I'd say, maybe even a tad juicy. They'll be coming in confident, are on middling form and always enjoy a day out against us. I think we'll need a clean sheet and to nick a goal for ourselves to reverse the trend against this crowd.
He was hooked before half time in the last two games. He’s not up to Division One standards. He didn’t last long against the Dubs in the 2020 Semi Final either. He’s a limited player who makes the most of what he has and gives his all in fairness to him.
It has 28 named you can only officially have 26 hard to know what they are up to.
Team on Facebook has Gunner and Paddy Meade on subs too?
Killian had a hand injury, at least I'm sure Ray said that on an interview. You'd have thought that would clear up. I go in hope rather than expectation tomorrow. Rossies should be better than us by 4/5 points.
No Gunner which I just realised
I would love to see James Smith & Ryan Donohoe together at midfield. The two best midfielders in the county.
its great to see Mcveety back. No killian Clarke, killian is badly missed around the middle of the field he was having a very good league campaign.
Team is named, McVeety back in the 26. Conor Madden in too
They are looking to change the format of the All Ireland series next year
A competition structure previously used in the Kerry senior football championship is considered the early favourite to replace the current All-Ireland SFC round-robin format.
The idea of a knock-out Sam Maguire Cup with second chances for counties defeated in the first round gained support at roadshow meetings in Munster on Monday and Leinster on Tuesday this week.
It is the first of six options put forward by the Central Competitions Control Committee (CCCC) to change the All-Ireland senior football championship.
The last 16 (Round 1) would comprise the eight provincial finalists in one bowl and the seven best league finishers and Tailteann Cup winners from the previous year.
In Round 2A, the eight winners from the last 16 would face off to earn four All-Ireland quarter-final places while in Round 2B the eight losers would compete to avoid elimination and qualify to face the Round 2A losers in Round 3 for the remaining four last-eight spots.The document reads: “It is a proposal the CCCC are recommending that counties give serious consideration as it has the potential to ease congestion in the calendar and create a greater ‘level’ of jeopardy than the current structure with its four-team round-robin groups.” The second-round winners and losers structure was in place in Kerry between 2002 and ’19 and has been in operation in other counties such as Laois.
Another option the CCCC see merit in is provincial champions going through to the All-Ireland quarter-finals and the other 12 teams competing in four groups of three to join them. However, that would mean a five-week wait to the last-eight games for the Connacht and Munster winners and four for the Leinster and Ulster victors.
The four other suggestions are listed but not endorsed by the CCCC – the introduction of a third tier All-Ireland SFC for Division 3 and 4 teams, a return to knock-out Sam Maguire and Tailteann Cup games post-provincIn compiling the proposals, the CCCC acknowledged the lack of jeopardy in the current system whereby three teams from four qualify for the All-Ireland preliminary quarter-finals. They also highlighted the need for a gap week between the league finals and commencement of the provincial championships at the same time minimising the break between teams going out of the provinces and their first Sam Maguire/Tailteann Cup game.
This year, Monaghan had a six-week gap between losing an Ulster opener to Cavan and facing Kerry in their first Sam Maguire group fixture.ial, operating the provincial championships on a tiered basis as per the Sam Maguire and Tailteann Cup and starting the inter-county season with the provincial championships followed by the Allianz Leagues and then a round-robin All-Ireland.
New job. No chance of the man you are thinking of being replaced until he decides he doesn’t want the job. Great to see we’ve our minors in an All Ireland final, all be it a B one, only up the road in Navan, yet a near full schedule of U14 games go ahead at 12 on Saturday.
New job or a replacement?

The majority of U17 county lads are not doing exams. You’d have a few of the younger 16 year old lads doing the JC but it’s pretty much over by Friday.
Down beat Westmeath on Saturday In the Tier 3 final. Is there a need for 3 Tiers?. It might suit Leitrim or Carlow but Down are generally decent underage.
