Replying To datsit:  "It has been finally good to see during this championship that the younger generation of players in Longford are finally stepping up and having a big impact on their club teams - hopefully this can be a positive step for our senior and u20 county teams this year.
Too many years recent gone by it has been the players in the 30+ bracket who have been the standouts."
Well said datsit, for too long it's been Declan Reilly, Dermot Brady, Shane mulligan etc being named as the hero's after games in Longford

I agree also with the sentiment that Ardagh Moydow will struggle . They have struggled against teams that had good forwards because whilst their own forwards and midfield are up to the standard. Their goalkeeper and defence are not. They drew with Abbeylara who were without numerous players on the day including Sean Fagan their player of the championship and Robbie didn't start. And they couldn't get over the line against Rathcline who had nothing to play for. And beat Mullinalaghta without Cian Mackey. In fairness to Liam Keenan he has them well coached and fit , they play the new rules as well as anyone in this championship and that's why they are where they are. I think they've reached their ceiling unfortunately for them and I hope Liam takes the Longford job, be great to have a local man, former player and captain over the team. Clonguish by 13

Dromard Colmcille the clash of the weekend. I think Hagan, farrell and McGee best forward line in the county and Colmcille have been hit and miss so far so Dromard by 3

Saturday Granard are 3/4 but haven't been convincing since they beat Colmcille the first day. A step too far for this young team. Killoe need a perfomance , time for Mooney to show where the money is going. Killoe by 5.

I hear injuries in the abbey camp but they still should have just enough to beat slashers down the wire abbey by 1

Not sure where any of ye are getting us to beat Ardagh/Moydow by 15 points from?!! To me, it seems like outsiders trying to get inside the heads of our young squad and hope complacency creeps in.
No one has beaten this AM team by 15 points in the championship yet.
They are coming in as clear underdogs and will relish that.
We have a few injuries in our camp as well, which will not help the build up to this game.
We still should win, but I'm saying by about 5/6 points.
Killoe will win by about 4, Dromard and Colmcille is a flip of a coin, but I like the cut of Dromard this year so I will give them the vote by about 2.
Abbey will beat Slashers by about 6.
Slashers the worst team in the last 8 for me, Abbey will come through that with a bit to spare.
