Replying To Gunner24: "I have no dog in the fight but I think Colmcille have been really under appreciated since they won it in 2022 and I think that a win here would be brilliant for them while also proving that 2022 was not a flash in the pan." Abbeylara to win in a low scoring game by 2 points and Grattans to hammer Slashers in the junior. williesboy (Leitrim) - Posts: 419 - 11/10/2024 15:43:53 2574221 Link
Slashers have survived another year in D1. Finished the year very strong winning both matches that mattered B&G (Longford) - Posts: 362 - 13/10/2024 17:33:57 2574570 Link
Well done to Grattans on winning the Junior. Surprised the CB didn't get Joe to ref it as he would be split 50/50 between both teams......how fairer could you get!! Abbey and Colmcille to do it again. Fair play to Robbie Smyth who came to Abbeys rescue. When Colmcille went 2 up their forward went straight to Robbie to celebrate in his face.....then Robbie goes down and scores 2 injury time points to get the draw!! An awful mistake by the Colmcille defender at the end to give Abbey a second bite of the cherry. Frank74 (Longford) - Posts: 190 - 13/10/2024 18:01:08 2574580 Link
County final was way better than I expected so fair play to both teams. Abbey goal keeper had first half to forget. Hopefully the replay is as good next weekend. williesboy (Leitrim) - Posts: 419 - 13/10/2024 18:59:59 2574599 Link
Curtain raiser to replay the Intermediate final. Thought that the CB mightwant 2 pay days. B&G (Longford) - Posts: 362 - 14/10/2024 19:51:47 2574938 Link

How did the standard compare to the replay on Saturday. Penalties is a cruel way to decide GAA matches. B&G (Longford) - Posts: 362 - 15/10/2024 07:30:45 2574965 Link
Colmcille had the cat in the bag and forgot to tie it. Credit to Abbey for sticking with it and making that pressure pay. Colmcille might feel the weight of expectation a bit more the next day, who knows. Decent enough second half after a dull first. Wouldn't rule out another draw this Sunday :-). Was Sunday the first time a Jubilee team had a guy who is still playing senior championship? Well done Grattans. Could have been a pile of goals in that game. They held their nerve and deserved it. I'm going with the Gaels to beat Connollys on Sunday in the curtain raiser. The occasion might get to the Connollys i reckon even though they are a decent outfit. Would like to see them win - it's been a long time since they won it (35 years), but the Gaels should have enough cuteness after the 2022 smash and grab loss to get the job done this time.

Abbey will win the replay and Connollys will finally win the Intermediate after a few years of choking. Frank74 (Longford) - Posts: 190 - 16/10/2024 15:25:20 2575320 Link
Darren Gallagher the longford rep on the railway cup this weekend. Hope he gets to showcase his quality. Rockshorecider (Longford) - Posts: 53 - 16/10/2024 18:37:17 2575364 Link
This forum has gone very quiet since the 2 favourites were knocked out of the championship. Inatfullforward (Longford) - Posts: 109 - 19/10/2024 21:13:01 2575875 Link
Abbey will beat Colmcille in senior but no one really cares about that one. Intermediate final is where most eyes will be on. Gaels or Connollys....who will win is anybodies guess. I'm expecting a cracker with 2 very good forward lines on show. Hope we can pull it out of the bag, but it won't be easy. Spinx (Longford) - Posts: 1327 - 19/10/2024 22:49:37 2575890 Link
Colmcille should run out easy winners today. far superior the last day. John45 (Longford) - Posts: 8 - 20/10/2024 12:14:27 2575940 Link

Undoubtedly the right decision to call the games off but probably should have made call this morning at the latest. When are longford champions out in Leinster? JimmyNail (Leitrim) - Posts: 247 - 20/10/2024 18:15:31 2576013 Link

Replying To JimmyNail: "Undoubtedly the right decision to call the games off but probably should have made call this morning at the latest. When are longford champions out in Leinster?" The right decision but why did they wait until the Intermediate teams were in the dressing rooms and supporters on way into the grounds? Storm was well forecast from middle of the week and at very latest that decision to cancel should have been taken early this morning. A lot of people were needlessly inconvienced by this last min decision. You would have to question the wisdom of the delayed decision. From the outset it was far too dangerous for players and supporters travelling to and from Pearse Park not to mention the lottery the game itself would become.

Congratulations to Cian Darcy on his recent nomination as Lory Meagher Cup player of the year and being named on the Shinty/Hurling team - a fantastic player to watch in the Longford jersey. SHCEIGHTY (Longford) - Posts: 1 - 21/10/2024 00:22:44 2576069 Link

Lomans supporters had already travelled to slashers for their leinster ladies match and game was called off ten minutes after throw in was due Bluelake (Westmeath) - Posts: 172 - 21/10/2024 09:27:53 2576093 Link
