Replying To foreveryoung:  "I will take Cavan a long time to recover from that defeat. It's not just losing. It's the way they lost-scoring 3-21 and losing. They'll be so despondent that even Kerry would beat them the next day out, if they draw Kerry. I'd prefer to see Kerry draw Derry. They don't like playing against teams from Ulster, or at least they don't fare well against teams from Ulster. Cavan, although from Ulster also, will be in a stupor for the rest of the year.

Fair play to Westmeath. They're a good side to watch---some fine footballers there who can kick. Onwards and upwards."
