The Official Cavan GAA Discussion thread.

I said it here before lads, I don’t know Brady, he’s a good keeper, but I saw enough when he sat and openly backed a youth board system of sticking at odds that couldn’t even get one other person or club in the room to back it. He has to be a yes man or he wouldn’t be getting the role.

They could run off the U14 League finals in a day in Breffni some years so it could be done with championship. Be a great occasion for all involved but no, we’ll stick a few random club games in there.

Kildallan beat Killeshandra last night which means Redhills get through to the quarters on 2 points. If Kildallan had have won by 8 instead of 1 point they'd have gone through despite the We Are Cavan lads totally dismissing them.

Think this is only the second time a team has got through on 2 points the last being Mullahoran a few years back.

Or is 8 teams too many to come out of a 12 team format.

Would top 6 to get through with top 2 directly through to the semis be a fairer system?

They will unlikely want to change as that would be less revenue for Cavan stream. But a lot of pointless games before it gets competitive.

The U21/20 competition use to be a good competition played over October/November as knockout. Now they play a load of games to eliminate just a few teams

You’d almost swear for a county of our size that having 40 clubs is too many but surely someone would have copped that years ago?

In 10 years time you would imagine KIllashandra and Kildallan could be amalgamated; Shannon Gaels and Swad; Drung and Redhills and Kill maybe.

After that most clubs have good numbers.

Kildallan the only outlier out of the 7 clubs mentioned above; they should have 2 strong teams for a town that size.

But that would bring you down to 35 which I believe that's what the Peter Quinn report recommended at the time..

After that most clubs have good numbers? Drumalee? Munterconnaught analgamate at all competitive underage levels with Maghera.

Ballymachugh & Mountnugent are amalgamating at some levels.

The heavily populated areas are around towns now and it shows: the coming clubs from looking at juvenile football are Butlersbridge, Killygarry, Cootehill, Cuchulainns & Ramor.
