I wonder when will the Clonguish players come back. Ore season is soon starting. Perhaps it could be mid January before they return

Best of luck to Andy McEntee. I would have preferred the outgoing man had stayed, but here we are. Let's see how it goes. It's a shame he has missed seeing any of the club championship, but beggers and choosers.

Who are players based off the championships that people would like to see called in.
I know some of these are possibly u20 but definitely would be well able for senior level. I tried to pick players who wouldnt have really been on the senior panel or played many games before some may have been on the panel already.

Its a pity to see Ballymore pull out of Leinster; why could Connolly's bot go if Ballymore were going to pull out? It looks terrible, imo, on Longford football

Not a good look at all, not easy going into Leinster after losing the final but why have they pulled out?

Under the present rules you cannot nominate a representative. While Ballymore was selected as Clonguish are a Senior club that is the rule.
When Ballymore dropped out, Longford are left with no Junior representatives.

I don't think they can be entered in once Ballymore were put forward.
I think the issue that came with them not fielding for the game only popped up recently as Meath team wouldn't agree to a moving of time for the game so once one team is put up the county board couldn't put a second team up

Second teams can't play in Leinster (see GAA rule book). If the junior winner is a second team, the junior runner-up competes in Leinster instead, unless the runner-up is a second team too (see last year) in which case the Intermediate runner-up takes their place (Killashee last year). The wheels were started turning on Ballymore competing in Leinster this year, so you can't change team mid stream if there is a disagreement over the time/date of the game.

So what was the fixture issue that resulted in Ballymore pulling out or was it they just weren't bothered ?

I heard that one of the McEntees from Crossmaglen. Apparently he has been with him throughout his management career

Thoughts on Mostrim and Clonguish in Leinster this weekend?

Odds seem stacked against a win in either. If Clonguish break loose early on, they could cause an upset. The Downs were bet in Mullingar last year by Tullamore, so they are not invincible.
