All Ireland Medal Holders Rip - 3 Like(s)
In recent weeks two South Louth men who won All Ireland medals sadly passed away. Alfie Monks ,Naomh Mhuire ,who was in the glorious '57 panel that won Sam died two ago while Ted Russell, Glen Emmets , who was in the panel that won the Junior All Ireland In 1961 died at the week-end. May they rest in peace. Both men played in the early rounds of the respective championships. A great time in Louth football. Condolences and thanks to both families.

In the past week we lost another great former Louth player when Gussie Sheelan RIP passed away. The Pats man captained Louth juniors when we won our last full All Ireland in 1961. He was a talented attacking half back who gave great service to both club and county. Condolences to his family.

Replying To LaLu:  "I see that 86 people turned up a home league game for the county that tonight's referee was from. Not much more to be said about football knowledge there. I had more at my child's birthday party..."
Pity he didn't go and make it 87

It's been traditional to play the final in Cooley in honour of Paddy Sheelan. Very scenic place too. 10 minutes from motorway

Powerful news. Plans for new field + Mickey Harte + two promotions + Casey Byrne + Funding.. After 65 years it's just unbelievable. Congrats to all concerned. And a replay in the county final. Get me a glass.

Very disappointing game to-day. Cannot see the point of Gaels having no forwards in position in the first half and allowing Blues to tip tap the ball across their backs to the frustration of the paying spectators. In the first half after a Gaels kick out they kept the ball for a dozen passes - some very dodgy ones - and were still only 30 Yards from their own goals. This style will not win games or bring back supporters. The Blues had it easy but as said already when tested a few times they looked weak enough. With a little luck Gaels could have had three goals. Good luck to Blues in Leinster. If they get a run they might need Lynch.

I hope there will be fun in Monasterboice to-morrow with a new name on Joe. There will be the biggest crowd since the Pope was there in 1979. Jocks for Joe.

What a finish. Congrats to all. It didn't look on till late in extra time. Had to celebrate with black sole and Tullamore dew. Might talk about performance later in week. For now it results that count. Well done panel and management.

Replying To Ollie2:  "The Rats are struggling big time. They only survived inter championship football last year when they relegated their lovely neighbours the Plunketts to Junior football. The Blues were nearly relegated from Division 1 in 2013 but yet won Joe Ward that year. The Blues should be OK. The Plunketts, Tones and Nicks are all doing alright. Drawda Abu!"
Mattock and Geraldine's won their places in top 6 last night. It's Tuesdays and Fridays now for the last five rounds. Well done to fixture's Committee for getting the fixtures up on website shortly after the game's finished last night. Lots to play for in all divisions before championship commenced in late August.

Darver needs a small stand to shelter spectators . The other facilities are quite good, the big difference from Owenbeg is the lack of a stand. It does provide excellent facilities for training and for under age use.

The team out on Saturday last was the poorest of the three we played this year. In the first two games the backs played well as did midfield. The forwards were not great. On Saturday the forwards improved but scoring is still too low despite Sam's efforts. Based on the three games this would be my team for Ennis :- D. Byrne D.Corcoran. B. Duffy. P.McKenny L. Grey. C. Murphy. C. McKeever C.Byrne. C, Earley P.Matthews. S. Mulroy. L. Jackson J.Hughes. C.Grimes. R. Burns

Good luck to Wayne and the lads. At the start of every year you look forward to some excitement from the Reds and this year is no different. The Byrne Cup game in Navan was a good start to this season. Hope we get more of those.

Great to hear from Fitzer that Mickey and Gavin are staying until 2025 at least. What a boost for everyone. If Sogger had got that in 1958 we would have more All-Irelands. Anyway it's full steam ahead starting in the Garden-on Sunday. It will be important too to win the division final in case a division 3 or 4 county get to a provincial final. e.g. like Cavan or Tipp in 2020.. We want a go at the other Sam. Sam for Sam. Last Sunday was a pleasure. Everyone laying in when it mattered. Keep it going men.
