Replying To B&G: "Killoe kings of Longford football yet again. Colmcille had their chances in an epic match in which a draw would have been a fair result" Draw would have been a fair result as you said, Colmcille guilty of messing about with it in the last few minutes when they needed to get up the field. A great game. BallWatching (Longford) - Posts: 23 - 13/10/2025 08:12:04 2639648 Link
Shoutout to slashers ladies also, they are a remarkable team. I don't believe Clonguish are as poor as they were at the weekend but trying to play slashers at their own game as a mad call. Slashers won the championship without even having to step it up a level this year BallWatching (Longford) - Posts: 23 - 13/10/2025 08:16:18 2639649 Link

Did Clonguish go 15 on 15, try to match them physically or what was their setup? backtoback2 (Longford) - Posts: 50 - 13/10/2025 10:47:05 2639687 Link

Replying To Garmin: "Oddball...what parish in Longford are you from???? Strange comment from a man that is suppose to be from Roscommon" It's well known that I am from Tarmon, as I have previously stated on here many times.. I saw what was done on my way into Longford town at the weekend. No need for carry on like that. Oddball (Roscommon) - Posts: 982 - 13/10/2025 14:26:49 2639762 Link
Colmcille must be fairly sick of it. Between the last 10 seconds of the last 2 county finals they could be heading into next year going for a 3 in a row and instead they have nothing. Fine margins but could be a job to pick it up again. I see in an interview Carbery did before the final that he's off overseas for 6 months so not sure what tha means from a trainer perspective. He deserves a lot of credit because as a team they never seem to be expected to get near to winning anything but have been very close.

I think last year he was overseas and missed most of the league. I think Ryan Casey took up the training until he got back. It doesn't matter for next year anyway, as he finished up as Colmcille manager after the final on Sunday. Unfortunately, they bottled it again just like last year in the final. I really thought they would have learned from last year and go on to win it. Spinx (Longford) - Posts: 1403 - 15/10/2025 07:34:22 2640050 Link

Ryan Casey in for the 20's job, I personally wouldn't give it to him. williesboy (Leitrim) - Posts: 514 - 15/10/2025 11:42:58 2640099 Link
Great weekend for the Killoe club. Winning a senior-junior double is rare, but winning the Junior c as well in the same year is a big achievement for any club. Didn't expect Killoe to be in the final this year (very ordinary in the league, struggled for long periods against Carrickedmond and Granard in group stage), but got there regardless, and with Colmcille it was always going to be a close final. Both sides blew it a number of times in the last 10, but fair play to the Killoe lads for doing enough to get the win. Daniel Mimnagh still in top form at 32! Fair play to Slashers ladies - seven in a row!!! Doesn't look like they are near done either. LongfordgaaAbú (Longford) - Posts: 636 - 15/10/2025 12:02:20 2640106 Link
It is crazy to say Colmcille bottled it. They put up a brave display against the red hot favourites and could have snuck it. Killoe were the better team and most worryingly for the rest of the county is how young that squad still is. They won the final without Larry Moran and Paddy Kiernan was only introduced late on. Poor mouthing about league and group form was just that. They played the whole year until the knock out stages with half a team. Fully deserved the junior title too, should have won by much more. No complaints Three cheers for the behaviour in the aftermath of the final also. Nothing damaged liosbreac6265 (Longford) - Posts: 274 - 15/10/2025 12:53:38 2640118 Link

Your own club for all their talent could be accused of bottling it on the big day. Racking up scores in the group stages and freeze when they reach Pearse Park. Killoe staggered through the group matches and came to life when they reached Pearse Park. OK They are a team for the big occasion. Never lost a Senior final. Wasn't aware of that until I read it recently B&G (Longford) - Posts: 407 - 15/10/2025 17:08:46 2640179 Link
