Is Clonbonny the place where we played an under 21 game one night a few years ago because it had the only lights in the County. It is out in Lough Ree way beyond Ballymahon. Surely this time a more suitable venue with an early start could have been found even if we have to bring flashlamps in case of penalties. 19616609 (Louth) - Posts: 1581 - 06/01/2022 20:02:59 2393866 Link
Replying To Ollie2: "I would like to wish all the Wee County Hoganstand posters a Happy Christmas and peaceful New year. I'm on here since 2005 and the forum is slowly dying of death. Since it's the season to pick your favourite moments, here is my favourite Louth team of the last 16 years. 1. Neil Gallagher 2. John O Brien 3. Alan Page 4. Aaron Hoey 5. Razor Finnegan 6. Colin Goss 7. Adrian Reid 8. Paddy Keenan 9. Ronan Carroll 10. Andy Mc Donnell 11. Sam Mulroy 12. Darren Clarke 13. Colm Judge 14. Shane Lennon 15. JP Rooney" Ollie, I know he played his last Louth game in 2003 but he was instrumental in Joes winning Joe Ward in 2006 so I would include the late great Stephen Melia RIP, in my favourite team for that period. Not sure who to leave out. 19616609 (Louth) - Posts: 1581 - 06/01/2022 20:18:26 2393868 Link

He was captain when Louth won the Division 2 title against Offaly in 2000. If it was any other Louth team he would def be on it but I am picking it from 2005 because thats the year I first joined Hoganstand. Ollie2 (Louth) - Posts: 657 - 07/01/2022 13:28:11 2393940 Link

Ollie found Clonbonny ok. It's in the surburbs ol Lanesboro. A nice pitch with a wee stand. Lots of Stewart's directing traffic etc. Well done to organising group. Our line out :- Niall Carrie Hunterstown Dan Corcoran Gers Donal McKenny Mary's Niall Sharkey Glyde Lenny Grey Pats Sean Healy Jocks Conal McKeever Clans Conor Early O.P. Tommy Durnin Liam Jackson Matys Eoghan Callaghan Jocks Jack Murphy Pats Jay Hughes Dreads Conal McCaul Joe's Ryan Burns Hunterstown Ollie would this qualify as the most inexperienced team fielded since 2005 ? They played very well for 45 inutes and were 6 points up ay that stage. Then wholestage changes were made with some of the better lads replaced. I think they were just trying out as many as possible before the league. Best were D. Corcoran,C McKeever, C .Early, L Jackson, E. Callaghan,J. Murphy and R. Burns,who is coming back to what we used to know 19616609 (Louth) - Posts: 1581 - 09/01/2022 11:56:57 2394170 Link

Started well and then fell asleep, a lot of regulars missing and some taken off, maybe the hard training got to them? Interesting to see how this week pans out. MR2 (Louth) - Posts: 40 - 10/01/2022 10:18:28 2394338 Link

Jay Hughes looks a good prospect. On to Parnell Park next. By the way Happy belated New year to your goodself. Ollie2 (Louth) - Posts: 657 - 10/01/2022 21:26:15 2394472 Link
Watched the game vs the Dubs last night on BeoSport, great service and option for this time of year! Very poor Louth team and performance, particularly in the 1st half! At no stage did they even attempt to play some football. A lot of lads look completely out of their depth…even the "improved" second half team left a lot to be desired! Ciaran Byrne's form was only positive to take away from last nights game. Colin66 (Louth) - Posts: 55 - 13/01/2022 15:36:03 2394773 Link

Yes, the goals was not good especially the 2nd one. 3rd Q was very good and Byrne was on fire. They are Div 3 after all and only up from Div 4.

The rumour going around the Bull is that James Califf is back in the Louth squad but this time as a goalkeeper. Ollie2 (Louth) - Posts: 657 - 25/01/2022 19:35:11 2396469 Link
