Just one to get you thinking....within your own club what players that played a bit of senior football but then either left or packed it in that would have been a great addition to your club. Spinx (Longford) - Posts: 1326 - 05/09/2023 15:57:02 2503183 Link 0 |
That is a cheap and untrue accusation you are casting on members of the board there. Any opportunity you get you are on here bad mouthing them and in particular what is online. If someone didn't know any better they would begin to think you had an ulterior motive.

Had Killoe rested anyone against Abbeylara in their laast group game? honda15 (Longford) - Posts: 94 - 06/09/2023 12:17:17 2503275 Link 0 |
Seems someone doesn't like CB being criticised for anything CCCC related. Hmmm. LongfordgaaAbú (Longford) - Posts: 571 - 06/09/2023 12:30:01 2503277 Link 0 |
Intermediate championship opened up nicely too. easycowboy (Longford) - Posts: 28 - 06/09/2023 13:42:22 2503298 Link 0 |
We've been lucky enough down through the years not to have lost too many players. I suppose in recent years the 2 McLoughlin brothers would have been a big addition. Before that in the noughties Anthony Corcoran emigrating was a loss to our back line. When we were a sole junior club in the 90s we lost our 2 most promising players coming through with Enda Flynn and Lorcan Barden moving to clubs in Dublin and Kildare. We won the Junior League and Championship about 2 or 3 years after those 2 lads left with the likes of the McIntyre brothers, Stephen Donoghue, Enda Barden and Luke McGuinness making the step up from minor.

Lorcan Barden, what an athlete he was. He had one of the best leaps off the ground I have ever seen.

Enda came back years later and played a bit for the club but I don't know where Lorcan ever ended up. He was on the Kildare squad in 93 and was involved in the half time tunnel bust up with the Dubs. He played for Round Towers down there but I don't think he was on the panel when they won the championship in 96. He obviously went on to pastures new but where I could not tell you!! I was very young when he played with us but I remember seeing him play a game in Pearse Park in 91 and he was head and shoulders above everyone else that day.

It is a public forum and you should know better than to come on making false accusations semi anonymously

I have not seen him in years. I never got to see Pat play but they say Lorcan was better again. A massive loss not just for the club but for the county.

I think he was in college with Glen Ryan and that is how he came about playing for Round Towers. It just looks like he packed in football altogether after 93, he probably would have been 21/22 at the time.

There's a link on an old Hoganstand article about Peter McConnon and it mentions Barden and Ryan. There's nothing else on the internet after that about him, so it's like he stepped away from football. Did he also play for the 89 or 90 Mel's team? I think we came up against him in a few games while playing for Moyne. Spinx (Longford) - Posts: 1326 - 07/09/2023 11:21:13 2503397 Link 0 |
Yes he was the outstanding player on the Mels team of 1990. There were great battles between Mels and Moyne in those couple of years. It's hard to imagine now that two Longford schools were once the best in Leinster!

I may be wrong but I think Lorcan Barden emigrated to Australia not long after that 92 final. Oddball (Roscommon) - Posts: 925 - 07/09/2023 15:21:14 2503443 Link 0 |

Killoe - Just about. As bad as Slashers are they always seem to give Killoe a good game. Spinx (Longford) - Posts: 1326 - 11/09/2023 12:17:37 2503770 Link 0 |
Not a chance of Mullinalaghta losing to Clonguish, Slashers always raise their game for Killoe and the park too
