Will Cusack park be playable? It's going to be some slog if it is. Would be nice to let supporters know in advance either way 97Cavans (Cavan) - Posts: 400 - 23/02/2025 11:18:51 2592576 Link
A mad mad game. Some 2nd half, managed it very well even allowing for the wind. 4 points and looking up now Loughduff Lad (Cavan) - Posts: 2460 - 23/02/2025 15:52:08 2592620 Link

Good to get the win today. There was s lot of pessimism building around the team. Some of it was probably warranted but maybe a little overstated. Yes, we have a lot of ageing players but it's not as Terrible as some are saying. Quietly, there a new guard building. Bit by bit, new or younger players are being blooded in the team. There is the core of a good team available for the next few years or more. That's without including any of the good talent in the u20 squad. O Rourke, Fortune, Cian Reilly, Carolan, O Connell, Molloy, Crowe, Kiernan (Denn), Lovett, Paddy Lynch, Oisin Brady, Cian Madden, O Neill, Cormac Reilly, Donnelly, Ryan Donohoe, TED, Shaun Clarke, McEvoy, Peter and James Smith. There are lots of others, I know. They're the ones I could remember off the top of my head. The old guard need to help bed them in but maybe it's not the abject gloom that some, including the esteemed gentleman in the Celt is suggested. Onwards to Down.

What a comeback, very enjoyable. And a vital 2 points. A dangerous game next week. Down probably don't have as good of players as Westmeath but they are cuter. By my understanding, if Down are relegated they will still be in Sam Maguire because they won the Tailteann, and with Cork and Kerry in the same side in Munster and Dublin and Meath the same side in Leinster, 6th in division 2 might not be enough to get into Sam Maguire 97Cavans (Cavan) - Posts: 400 - 24/02/2025 14:03:25 2592903 Link
The Westmeath podcast discuss the game from about 25 minutes in. It's very Westmeath centered but still quite interesting to hear the view from another county's perspective. https://www.youtube.com/live/HIhwYw8U38g?feature=shared 97Cavans (Cavan) - Posts: 400 - 25/02/2025 15:16:51 2593170 Link

Bit of fight and attack from Cavan tonight. So tight, but just super to see Gearóid McKiernan to stand tall. With Oisín Brady back on shooting, and great to see new players coming to the team. It was a shoot out. Things are slowly coming. An Cabhán Abú. Cavan67 (Cavan) - Posts: 15 - 01/03/2025 20:59:25 2594006 Link
I thought Jason McLoughlin was immense tonight. Faulkners brilliant goal made the difference in 2nd half. Gearoids 2 pointer was also a massive score. Gearoid did serious mileage tonight I couldn't believe he was still able to cover back so well in 2nd half on top of everything else he did, Big moment when Down had a score waved wide that looked over, I'm not sure was it a one or 2 pointer. We were lucky to get the win, we ran the legs off ourselves in a chaotic first half. I thought a draw looked likely but in fairness they fought hard to the end facer4home (Cavan) - Posts: 162 - 01/03/2025 22:11:49 2594033 Link
It was a great win and guarantees Division 2 football next season… which is the most important thing ForeverBlue2 (Cavan) - Posts: 3526 - 02/03/2025 01:05:59 2594052 Link
Replying To ForeverBlue2: "It was a great win and guarantees Division 2 football next season… which is the most important thing" well I think not fully safe in Div 2 yet,..... its a long shot I know ...but....if louth and cork win 1 of their remaining 2 games, and Down win both and cavan loose both..... then Louth, Cork, Down and Cavan finish on 6 pts ..and head to head does not count only score diff Jimjo (Cavan) - Posts: 66 - 03/03/2025 10:47:18 2594366 Link

Would need a bizarre set of circumstances like you say Loughduff Lad (Cavan) - Posts: 2460 - 03/03/2025 11:51:20 2594390 Link
It's a strange kind of rivalry Cavan v Down There have been so many exciting games over the years I remember a good few during the 2000s I thought Cavan were much the better team but had to grind it out in the end which they did. Coughed up a lot of cheap scores. They seem to have a lot of brain-dead moments which can be very frustrating. The full back line were outstanding but defensively we look quite open - struggling to track runners Pity Westmeath couldn't hold on to the draw yesterday. Promotion is probably gone now even if we were to beat Roscommon 97Cavans (Cavan) - Posts: 400 - 03/03/2025 12:47:41 2594410 Link

Cavan put some good moves together. Donnelly,Cian Madden are good runners . Donnelly done well on his first start. Oisin Brady chipped in with a few good scores. Some good performancs in the back. Ciaran Brady more comfortable at half back FoolsGold (Cavan) - Posts: 2863 - 03/03/2025 13:01:51 2594419 Link
