Replying To Spinx: "The only player they were really missing was Oran Kenny, let's not beat around the bush here. Mullinalaghta were missing Paddy Fox who would be given the job of marking Oran Kenny. Last year Paddy Fox played injured against him, but all he scored was frees. I can guarantee that won't happen."

Right then, who is honestly going to say on here that if you take Oran Kenny off this Rathcline team, that they will still get out of the group?? That would be nonsense!!! They are talking themselves up to be title contenders over there! If you look at any of the real contenders, take their main attacking threat out, they still have 2 or 3 players in the attack who can take up the slack. Rathcline don't have that, and that is all I am trying to say! We obviously have a few Raths on here or lads who have lumped the money on them!!!

Shane, Oisin Kenny and Iarla O Sullivan would make all club teams in the county and Oran is probably the best forward in the county. They have other decent players too, their goalie is good, can't think of his name and David Rooney and Bryn Peters are very solid club players. They have no chance in winning the championship, they are a long way off Killoe, Colmcille and Clonguish but i wouldn't be surprised if they made a semi final again. Then again I wouldn't be a bit surprised if Abbey, Mull and Dromard beat them in the group stages too. And Yes you do seem to have a grudge against them for whatever reason and no i'm not a Rathcline clubman. I don't particularly care how to do but it is nice to see different teams doing well. maximus02 (Longford) - Posts: 229 - 18/05/2026 14:36:23 2673895 Link

Everyone entitled to their opinion. Will revisit this in September. Spinx (Longford) - Posts: 1548 - 18/05/2026 16:57:56 2673955 Link
Does anybody know how the relegation from senior works this year? Will there be a play off or is just bottom team in each group goes down. Clonbonnyrabbitt (Longford) - Posts: 128 - 19/05/2026 15:13:45 2674164 Link
Replying To Clonbonnyrabbitt: "Does anybody know how the relegation from senior works this year? Will there be a play off or is just bottom team in each group goes down." Bottom two from group 1 and bottom team in group 2. All play each other once and bottom 2 go down. Spinx (Longford) - Posts: 1548 - 19/05/2026 18:04:52 2674214 Link
Replying To Spinx: "Bottom two from group 1 and bottom team in group 2. All play each other once and bottom 2 go down." The dreaded relegation group I think group 1 looks to be stronger but it will make for some really good quarter finals. Colmcille look to be flying what happened to abbey against them on sunday Clonbonnyrabbitt (Longford) - Posts: 128 - 20/05/2026 17:07:34 2674385 Link
Replying To Clonbonnyrabbitt: "The dreaded relegation group I think group 1 looks to be stronger but it will make for some really good quarter finals. Colmcille look to be flying what happened to abbey against them on sunday" Comcille have had a full squad to pick from for the whole league. The majority of other clubs don't, so it would have being a miracle if Colmcille did not run away with the league. Both groups look to be evenly split. Killoe and Abbey top 2 in group 1, Colmcille and Clonguish top 2 in group 2. Then Dromard, Mull, Granard and Carrick would be about the same level as each other, possibly Rathcline and Slashers. Ardagh be the whipping boys. Spinx (Longford) - Posts: 1548 - 21/05/2026 00:47:01 2674451 Link
What's going on in Abbeylara? Did they play their Junior team the last 2 weeks? Is Frankie's magic running out up in Ballybrien? Another win on the board for Colmcille, they will win it out from here. Slashers get a valuable 2 points in their quest for Leader Cup semi finals. Carrick get the expected win over Cashel. I was told last night that Jack Duggan had a huge game for Clonguish last night, which included 1 2 pointer from about 60 metres out. Clonguish supporters can than the Rossie boys for that!!! 2 rounds left for most teams now. Oddball (Roscommon) - Posts: 1042 - 23/05/2026 11:07:55 2674736 Link

Slashers were quite good against our lads last night they had colm farrell in goals he was very impressive Clonbonnyrabbitt (Longford) - Posts: 128 - 23/05/2026 11:20:22 2674738 Link

Who cares these leagues are a joke without county players. If killoe lost there last 2 games they get relegated and them the best team in the county by a distance. What is going on with division 2 why is there new groups slasher9 (Longford) - Posts: 269 - 23/05/2026 13:36:25 2674760 Link
Replying To Rockshorecider: "Has he left the roscommon already?" What do you mean already?!! He's just not in the match day 26 for Tyrone. Dowd alternates his players in and out of the bench for all games....keeps it fresh. Oddball (Roscommon) - Posts: 1042 - 23/05/2026 15:14:30 2674766 Link

Leader Cup semi finals would be a successful campaign for them. Spinx (Longford) - Posts: 1548 - 23/05/2026 15:47:55 2674769 Link
Well done to Longford on their victory this evening. Honour was restored a few weeks ago in Enniskillen with their performance. This evening they held the upper hand on the scoreboardfor long stages. When Clare kicked four unanswered points to lead by 2 with 10 minutes to go, it looked like their brave effort for the previous 50 minutes wsas to no avail. But fair play to them, they never let their heads dropped and ground out a great victory which this young team deserved. What they may lack in class, they certainly make up for it in workrate and deserve their success. B&G (Longford) - Posts: 426 - 23/05/2026 20:44:08 2674864 Link
