Yep. Tired legs, injury niggles and a few key lads past their best. You won't meet many in the parish who think Killoe will win all in front of them this year. Might make the Leader Cup final (though I'm not sure) but I am sticking firmly with Clonguish to win it and that's the start of their purple patch. Can't begrudge it - We enjoyed ours, Mullinalaghta same. Changing of the guard. Always the way. Arva have just opened a new pitch on the Aughnacliffe Road (will be a very impressive grounds once it's all developed) so I'm guessing thats why Dromard are flipping to there now while their own is being worked on. Senior and Intermediate Championship starts on weekend of 19th July according to the master fixtures on the county website. Five weeks rest for Mullinalaghta and Carrickedmond :-).

Killoe have been there plenty of times before, so have Mullinalaghta along with Colmcille and Dromard have been around semi finals and finals in the last few year thats a big help for them. Hard to really believe in Clonguish until they go and win one. Championship will probably be the third weekend in July

Mullinalaghta still dangerous team

Ah Frank. It was yourself who brought up the topic in relation to Slashers travelling to Arva to play it and not Oddball. Unless you and Oddball are the same poster. It seemed strange Dromard playing a few home matches in Edgeworthstown when Colmcille or Monaduff was more convienent to them. B&G (Longford) - Posts: 313 - 19/06/2024 13:19:15 2552980 Link 0 |
I'd imagine it's the connection with macken isn't he based up that way now? Surely shroid could be used by any team as an overflow if issues with pitches. Drumlish get it hard to let their own on that precious piece of land never mind another club, don't think your allowed walk across it to the warm-up pitch

I had a message posted questioning why the venue choice for the Dromard/Slashers game. Oddball (Roscommon) - Posts: 905 - 19/06/2024 15:06:29 2553036 Link 0 |
Padraig must be 31 or 32 now at this stage. When did he last play senior for Killoe? Oddball (Roscommon) - Posts: 905 - 19/06/2024 15:08:35 2553038 Link 0 |
32 must be 4 or 5 years since he played and will probably still be the best defender in the championship this year!!

The New Pitch in Arva payed off for Dromard. 1 point win and safe... #Putitup (Longford) - Posts: 38 - 20/06/2024 23:16:00 2553287 Link 0 |
Was this the first Longford league fixture played outside county. Do Slashers have grounds for appeal. Did Dromard get permission to play match outside county. Was consideration given to Slashers supporters who had to make the journey for a mid week fixture. At least Relegation final/playoff will be played in Longford now.

What are you trying to get at there? There are lots of other clubs who don't let warm ups take place on the main pitch. You obviously have a chip on your shoulder with us for some reason. Spinx (Longford) - Posts: 1275 - 21/06/2024 09:04:38 2553311 Link 1 |
Rathcline have definitely played games on the other side of the Shannon not sure abut any others

This fixture was very strange. Original match fixed for Saturday week. Then brought forward to this weekend. Did both clubs fix it for midweek between themselves without knowledge of County Board. As it stands Slashers now has extra time toprepare for Relegation final / payoff. Wouldnt surprise me if the match was refixed, this time at a Longford venue B&G (Longford) - Posts: 313 - 21/06/2024 17:27:22 2553479 Link 0 |
Very good reason for that, keep your ear to the ground. Most of the county knows what went on by now

Considering I've been out of the country all week and only landed back this evening, you can give me a break! Since I've got back, I've been told the reason why the result was not posted up. Big massive cock up by Dromard! So do Slashers stay up now or replay?

I've just noticed the first round games have dates set. Two odd dates that I noticed, Killoe v Colmcille on a Tuesday evening in Pearse Park and Rathcline and Granard on a Thursday evening also on Pearse Park. Frank74 (Longford) - Posts: 161 - 21/06/2024 22:25:31 2553521 Link 0 |
I asked the question tonight, I am told there are not enough referees in the county to hold all games on Fri and Sat so clubs offered to play midweek and the carrot for doing so was Pearse Park game.

Probably a replay.
