I noticed in the paper that the development squad wear a mainly black jersey with a bit of blue, whos bright idea was that?? I may be a traditionalist but are Cavan colours not blue and white?

I think it was the amalgamation we made with Sligo.

you are obviously well informed on how things work!! they are not blue and white because they are not a county cavan team. its to keep the young fellas heads out of their ***** rather than giving them the full cavan jersey. its only development football which is extra coching and development between club and county. you have to earn the real thing

rexbanner10, to answer your question seriously, the idea behind it is so that when a young lad makes the U16 or u15 squad, he still has not earned a real cavan jersey. Its a small things but mentally it might keep them focused on earning their first real Cavan jersey when they become minors. I quite like the idea.

Supposedly the reasoning behind the colour choice was that those that made the underage development squads would realise that they were not on a cavan county team but instead exactly what they were lining out on - a development squad.
Whether or not the move had the desired effect is a different story.

Ye agreed with the posters above granted the effect hasnt been great on our minor or u21s

Cavan are the worst team in Ireland apart from London and even if they were wearing Kerry jerseys they would be hammered by minnows like Antrim

Antrim destroyed Cavan in the semi final and Cavan struggled past a very poor Fermanagh team in the quater final and only two Cavan players would get starting with Monaghan and they are James Reilly and Seanie Johnston

Seanie Johnston instead of who, Antrim and Wicklow showed players how to stop him and they made it look very easy don't you think???

Did you have to toss to see who would wear the blue jersey??? or did you want to wear the development ones sponsored by Clarke Group by choice??

I'm not sure how it worked as i don't play for either the gaels or kingscourt but i think it is simply a toss to decide who wears their own colours. We wore these jerseys earlier this evening in a u14 development squad challenge game, and surely enuf.. we won =] . Seanorinn.. I think i seen you there
