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. LongfordgaaAbú (Longford) - Posts: 719 - 24/10/2026 15:50:18 2698437 Link 0 |

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 Gaaforlife2023 (Longford) - Posts: 1387 - 26/10/2026 19:24:34 2698621 Link 0 |

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. B&G (Longford) - Posts: 467 - 27/10/2026 12:18:14 2698665 Link 0 |

You've made that up. Didn't st brigids enter into junior last year and won a couple of games Paidi04 (Westmeath) - Posts: 40 - 27/10/2026 16:20:35 2698693 Link 0 |

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 Clonbonnyrabbitt (Longford) - Posts: 170 - 27/10/2026 21:54:46 2698711 Link 0 |

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 ? BigSur (Westmeath) - Posts: 1281 - 28/10/2026 14:15:14 2698747 Link 0 |

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? LongfordgaaAbú (Longford) - Posts: 719 - 28/10/2026 21:42:46 2698792 Link 0 |

On Andy Mcentee I expect he is getting his panel ready . How does he intend to drop lads that were not good enough last year as he doesn't know them and bring in the lads who have done well in the championship. I hope he has a few Longford selectors who do know them and bring players. All of the lads mentioned in previous post deserve to be seen. I would add Cian o Donnell Granard.

Best of luck to both . If Clonguish defend as they did against Dromard and Killoe they will be hard beaten. Hopefully Jack Duggan is fit to start as his running with ball in hand will cause big trouble. Small forwards like Hagan and c flynn could find the going tough against seasoned cornerbacks at this time of year when the ground and ball are heavier. Mostrim playing a team who only won their final last week for the first time in a long time so the Edgeworthstown lads should have a great chance if they are treating it seriously. Hopefully both teams win. Green&redforever (Longford) - Posts: 9 - 29/10/2026 07:00:28 2698809 Link 0 |

Seeing as McEntee is sorted is there any white smoke on who the new hurling manager is? keepitlit (Longford) - Posts: 50 - 29/10/2026 09:43:23 2698824 Link 0 |

Johnny Byrne was ratified a few weeks ago. He played hurling & football, I believe. Don't know if he has managed previously but was apparently recommended by the outgoing manager for the role.
