The Official Cavan GAA Discussion thread.

It’s good to see Donohoe starting to call out the county board re their attitude to feeling they are unquestionable.

You won’t prompt debate if you don’t invite it and they certainly don’t.

Has there been any word on challenge games or any more news on ins and outs for the panel. James smith will be a big loss. Midfield is an area we struggle with as it is

Superb win for Knockbride ladies . Totally dominated the game from start to finish

Congratulations to all involved

Fantastic performance, huge congrats to them. Some serious players. How is it in Cavan we can produce such talent in womens football but struggle to do the same with the lads?

He has a few midfielders on the panel currently. Ciaran Brady of Corofin, Peter Corrigan, Tristan Hoffman, McSeain from Cornafean.

It's still a big step up going up against Ian Maguire in the first league game.

The former Mayo footballer Pat Fallon will take charge of Cavan senior team Mullahoran in 2026.

Fallon, who is based in Galway, will be joined by Sean Conlon, also Galway based. Conlon was a coach with Galway when Kevin Walsh was manager between 2015 and 2019.

The U20s are still at panel selection stage. They were putting out two different teams.

Didn't hear how the county u20's got on but given two u20 club finals were being played yesterday (2 cracking games I believe even if I hate the 3G for anything other than young underage games) then always going to still be at selection stage.

Any other club management news outside the Mullahoran one, I see Munchies are looking for new manager, surprised Stephen McGovern not staying on, has done a brilliant job with them, winning Junior championship and getting promoted to Division 2 with a young enough side….

Was there any of the Munchies players brought into the County panel? The O Shea brothers would be worth a look.

I would imagine it is tough to work out, and they mostly get it right. Have to use evidence of their previous age grade results to detail it. And sure, you'll get some teams with 2 or 3 really good players but not much else. Probably with that are too strong for lower divisions, but not good enough for higher ones so it's tough. Mistakes are made though, and can be rectified. Mullahoran had to apply for their U20 team to be regraded higher than they were. Turns out to be absolutely the correct decision as they look the form Div 1 team

Big difference between League & championship. In the league, a lot of clubs had their 20s playing with their senior team or younger lads with their minors.

By sheer numbers alone, there isn’t a chance Cuchulainns should be in Division 3. Just like Denn shouldn’t have been in Division 4. I know of clubs were in Divison 2 wouldn’t have beaten either.

Dunno but I hear they are playing Sligo this weekend in a location in Cavan.

Independant media should not need permission to critise if they do then there not really independent ?

Was be there as the celt or WAC?

Well I can’t see any other reason that they suddenly decided to criticise him after a decade of inaction given the dreadful performance of our county juvenile teams.

Donohoe was there as a freelancer so was representing the Celt, WAC & Northern Sound.

The lads also referenced how some managers bring media too close and let them on the team bus. They’re obviously forgetting a decade ago when one of them lived with one of Terry Hyland’s sons and they were on the plane to New York with the squad.

I remember after the kerry game Damien Donahoe was praising the performance on Northern Sound. Clifford could have had 6 goals that day. The local media being paid to give views like that is silly.
