Lights, action!
Tomorrow night, Saturday, at 7.30pm Cavan host Antrim in Breffini Park.
It is an important game for both sides, each of whom are coming off opening weekend wins in Division 3 of the NFL. Cavan posted an impressive 2-20 away to Roscommon while the Saffrons battled impressively to hold on to a single point win at home to last year's Division 4 champions, Sligo.
Antrim have a respectable record over Cavan in recent years. On top of last year's glorious Ulster semi final win, we have also beaten them in the McKenna Cup and drawn a league game in Breffini three seasons ago. Of course they accounted for our Championship hopes in 2008.
Still missing the St Gall's contingent, Antrim will be looking to Michael McCann, Crozier, Loughrey, Scullion, Magill (if fit) and Cunningham to lead the way. Kevin Brady and Ciaran Close can also play an important role under the Breffini spotlights.
Can we win? Well, its hard to say how good Cavan were last week, or how poor the Rossies performance must have been. Tomorrow night will tell a tale and give a firm indication whether or not promotion is a genuine hope.
It will be a difficult encounter. I can see us leaving there having not been beaten, and even a share of the spoils would be a welcome addition to our early points tally.
Here's hoping.
