Well done to U20s on their win and I'm sure there'll be lots of clubs delighted to see these lads back in their panels in a fortnight for round 4 of the league.

I didn't travel to Waterford so had to rely on the Ocean FM coverage and by sounds of it not many attended full stop be they from Waterford or Sligo but that is to be expected. Good to get a win but would be concerned at how much we conceded against the worst team in the country. So its Down, London or Wexford to come if I've read it right. Would not fancy a trip to Wexford or Down and while the craic in London might be good would we be travelling over in confidence...I'm not too sure, although its not as if our home record is great this year against Div 4 opposition.

We got a respectable draw. London away is just about doable at the moment. I wasn't in Waterford yesterday. I watched the few seconds of the game on the Sunday Game and it looked like lovely weather down there. Towey returned, MC Guinness got a good few minutes . We are still struggling with injuries but we certainly are getting every chance in the world to progress with favourable draws

29 scores good going. Dessie said the target was 30. The target should be winning the game.

Sean carrabine is back training would be a huge addition. Eddie mc more game time. London away might be tricky enough. They have some good lads davis from pats did well v mayo. They are athletic and in Ruislip it will be hot and suffocating. We should have enough just to beat them.

Great to see two pointers being kicked. Lee deignan is good from long range. Lally seemed to be knifing through at times just going on the short highlights. He has great feet serious pace and is very direct. He can open up things and to beat London even we will need to score goals.

A very kind draw avoiding down.

Conceding 3 goals.. not great.

At least we are in with a shout.

We are still hanging on in the Tailteann.
I'm not sure if we will beat London but it's a good draw. We have too many injuries to make any progress in the cup.
On the club scene and starting with Div 3 St. Pats are too close to relegation for comfort. I saw a few pictures of one of their games and they are in "good" shape. Div 2 is a bit difficult to get excited about. The relegation spots are more or less done with Harp's and Molaise second teams both doomed. Coolaney are really struggling, missing a few lads that's on the edge of the Sligo panel . I doubt if they will be in the shake up come promotion. In Div 1 it's very competitive. A few teams unbeaten and a couple draw games. Ballymote beating Tubber is a big result for them. I can't see Tourlestrane getting relegated. They will pull out all the stops to get " one more tune" out of these boys. Gaels were sickened again losing by a point to Harp's. They lost the week previously also by a point. Their next game is away to Curry who are flying so with a weakened team they might still be looking for points. Free weekend this weekend I think bar the Spring League finals. . Then it's hammer and thongs until the league finishes.

I believe we have added a few players from U. 20 team to the seniors. That's good and I would have no hesitation in throwing Conor Walsh straight into the fray. It's rumoured that we didn't have 26 fit player's for the trip to Waterford. Once again the mgt are peddling the story about Carrabine getting close to game time and how he is driving the training on. If an injured player is the driving force behind the team it's very sad. Multiple times since January we have been told that Carrabine is nearing full fitness. Will the mgt just leave the lad alone, he's not ready and the dogs in the street know that.

London should be an easy game in theory but with current form and injuries it now looks like a difficult assignment. If Carrabine gets game time it would be a great boost but the long term injuries to Lyons and Mullen and a not fully fit McGuinness leaves out defense looking vulnerable, 3 goals against Waterford been the case and point. A win might give us some momentum and the younger guys some confidence.

Is it time to get back on the CCC case, no long term fixtures for the league leaving lads in limbo. A shame after all the progress made last year.

I think Sligo dictating fixtures at the minute. Last year they released full league fixtures when Sligo finished so hopefully will be the same this year. I agree on the holidays thing, not much room for wiggle room, a lot booking holidays for league finals which will devalue the league as a competition if big players missing for the final.

What is of a greater concern is the lack of championship fixtures. Last year they were known from the draw I think? This year silence. A system that worked well last year abandoned. You knew what weekends you were playing and when you had the bye weekend. It's poor especially when it was so well received last year on the back of an embarrassing 2024 when a former co player had to tweet about fixtures.
