Does anybody know if it is an open draw for the 1/4 finals.
Or if Gaels, Kingscourt, Lacken & either Ramor/Castlerahan go into one pot v the other 4 teams that come through this weekends games ???
Or has the county board even decided yet which option they will go with

Why was Duke from Lavey sent off?

For Headbutting an opponent straight Red. He had already received a yellow card 10 min earlier

Are the co. board seriously expecting the losers of Castlerahan / Ramor to play a 3rd championship game in 7 days next Sunday?!? Shows how much they think of club players......

The county board don't give a dam about club players. In my opinion all they are interested in is generating revenue. Club football is on its knees with teams struggling to field teams and all our board are interested in is running off fixtures and raking in the money.
Joe Brolly is right, the GAA has lost its soul.
I have nothing against other sports and events being held in Croke Park, and it was not the fault of the American Football teams that the Kerry/Mayo replay was held in Limerick as it was booked 18 months in advance.
The fault lay with the GAA grabbing money. Years ago it was said the GAA stood for Grab All Association. Its ringing true. The replay could have been played this weekend and give the players a break.
Likewise the club games could be played next weekend. What would it matter if the final is a week later than planned. Is player wellfare not their priority !!!!????? or it is the same ol lip service ?

So what are people's predictions for the following games. I will start it off with mine

Mullahoran V loser Ramor/Castlerahan - If Mullahoran v Ramor fancy Mullahoran. If against Castlerahan i fancy Castlerahan
Ballinagh V Lavey - Ballinagh
Killygarry v Crosserlough - Crosserlough (if Martin Reilly is available for Killygarry it will be close and could go either way)
Gowna v cuchullians - Gowna

some very questionable decisions in the castlerahan ramor game, especially leading up to the goal in the last minute for the rahen! Doesnt matter too much the game tho cos i fancy who loses to come past mullahorn with easy! Gaels championship to lose

EastCavan (Cavan) - Posts: 183 - 02/09/2014 20:35:35    1647176

I fancy Lacken to get to the Final or Semis

Crosserlough will beat Killygarry or Draw.

Have nt seen Geals in a while actually. Kingscourt good side but fall asleep I mean proper asleep.

Ramor might have blew their chance, mgmt. J Brady why play him??? Why Mc Enroe not midfield after he won game against Denn?

Castlerahan will go far but again big calls needed. Keeper?? Mackey is he fit?

Mullahorn terrible

Rest don t matter....

Big call Eastcavan that either team will beat Mullahoran considering either team will be playing 3 games in a week against a strong physical Mullahoran team.

I think Mullahoran will beat the losers of Castlerahan / Ramor. Neither team looked very promising on Sunday night although conditions were not favourable. Mullahoran have Enda Reilly playing well and Paul Brady seems to be back in form.
On another note I dont think I have ever seen such less interest in a senior championship. Is it because its so late in the season and all the matches are coming on top of each other?
Its time to have a look at having a championship which is played in the summer months and the fixtures are set out in advance so that players know when they can get a free weekend. Its riduculous no matches all summer and now a plethora of matches as the evenings are starting to get shorter.
Remember these players have been training since the beginning of the year.

There is a lack of interest, not helped by the co board belittling it by fixing midweek replays, and making club players play 3 matches in a week. Instead of promoting it they seem like they just want it out of the way as quickly as possible.

I would imagine that playing 3 games in one week is not a choice the County Board would make as revenue would not be helped by it. Would the running of the Championship not be restricted by the time allowed to play it? Ulster Club Fixtures would have to be considered as they are virtually set in stone and when you actually start is a factor also. Earlier it begins, more time there is to play it. Which is grand in theory but hands up what Club wants to play Championship without County Players? And this year, was there not 2 weekends missed because of the All Ireland Junior? Was playing Club Championship against the All Ireland Junior Championship a better option? And once again, which Clubs with Players involved in that panel were going to play Championship without them? Lack of talk on an internet forum does not mean there is no interest in the Championship. Pretty impressive crowd in Breffni last night....

The ulster club championship is not on until November. There is plenty of time to play out the county championship without pushing players to breaking point.

According to Ulster GAA Website, Cavan are out in Senior on Nov 2nd. To give them a 2 Week break, Cavan Senior Championship would have to be over on Oct 19th. To allow for a replay, Cavan Senior Final would have to be on Oct 12th. When is it? At Intermediate, Cavan are out on Oct 19th in a Prelim Rd so if you follow the above, Cavan champions would have to be decided by Oct 5th. To allow for a replay, Cavan Final would have to be no later than Sept 28th. When is it? Would think Junior is on a similar time schedule.

SS1, Senior Champ final is provisionally down for Oct 12th.

I reckon the dreadnoughts will beat castlerahan on sunday. Fergal Flanagan got a red card (was it 2 yellows does anybody know).
They are bound to of picked up a knock or two also. Will be a little tired you would imagine facing their 3rd game in a week. Mullahorn i'm sure were in attendance last night & will have their homework done. In fairness, to lose twice & still be in the competition is a bit farcical.

Cavan's last game in the championship was in the middle of July. The club championship is always around the same time of year so it should be posible to plan a championship without this. Could the posibility of drawn games not have been taken into account without players having to play big games 3 days apart? Seems like they're being punished for drawing matches.

Fergal Flanagans was a straight Red card so he is out on Sunday.

Last nights football in the park was a pleasure to see. A high quality standard of football. Best game in breffni in a long time.
