Replying To Clonbonnyrabbitt: "Its fair to let them play in this weekend's games but county teams do need their players in order to prepare for the tailteann cup. I think the county players will be back training after this weekend's games being played with them. Big wins for Colmcille and Dromard in tight games. Did anybody attend any games in either divisions?" Were the county players playing the last round draw of games? Much needed win for Dromard. Slashers with a good win over Granard. Killoe and Carrick looked like a nip and tuck game. And Clonguish handed out an awful hammering to Rathcline. Oddball (Roscommon) - Posts: 950 - 13/04/2025 16:16:08 2601706 Link

That would explain the change in results. Lots of teams missing so many at this time of year. Lots of shadowboxing its only april!!!

Replying To Clonbonnyrabbitt: "All county senior and uder 20 players were released for the games. That would explain the change in results. Lots of teams missing so many at this time of year. Lots of shadowboxing its only april!!!" I was talking to a lad who was at the game in Newtown. He said Iarla O'Sullivan was missing for Rathcline. He said Clonguish didn't play Matthew Carey, Conor Flynn or Jamie Dorr and Andrew Flynn only came on as a sub. He said of the 28 points kicked by Clonguish, only 1 was a 2 pointer!

With only a few games gone no team has had a full pick so far and therefor cant really be judged this early. Clonguish are going fairly strong with so far, while Colmcille, Mullinalaghta, Killoe, Slashers and Carrickedmond are fairly competitive too without playing that good. The other 4 haven't got going yet, Granard and Rathcline especially. Mostrim are in trouble already in a fairly competitive Div 2, with Grattans and Cashel setting a good standard so far. When the leagues are over it should tell us who will be the serious competitors in the championships, but at the minute, both championships could be very competitive with 4 or 5 potentially strong teams capable of winning in both of them. botheyesclosed (Longford) - Posts: 123 - 14/04/2025 12:31:27 2601827 Link
I think we can pack in the season now. A woeful defeat against a Cashel team who by right should be playing Division 3 football this year. We're warming up nicely to get a few trimmings in the senior championship. Spinx (Longford) - Posts: 1353 - 14/04/2025 14:12:29 2601856 Link

Clonguish are setting the pace and standard so far. 28 points (27 scores is a serious return. B&G (Longford) - Posts: 371 - 14/04/2025 14:30:47 2601861 Link
What is going on in Mostrim? They were in a county final only 4 years ago and now winless and at the bottom of Division 2. I know they lost their main man from last year, but surely he didn't make that much of a difference? Oddball (Roscommon) - Posts: 950 - 14/04/2025 14:45:03 2601865 Link

Losing so many players doesn't help but they won an U16 and Minor A championships not that long ago when amalgamated with Sean Connollys. Mostrim should be much stronger I suspect they will gather themselves for the championship but it will be very tough at the moment they wouldn't even be favourites to win intermediate if they were down there Clonbonnyrabbitt (Longford) - Posts: 48 - 15/04/2025 13:38:55 2602044 Link
