Killoe by 5 Colmcille by 2 Oddball (Roscommon) - Posts: 937 - 27/09/2024 07:32:49 2572044 Link
There would presumably be a few on the Killoe panell going for their 7th Senior medal this year, does anyone know what player/players would have more/the most? LongfordSham (Longford) - Posts: 116 - 27/09/2024 09:08:19 2572056 Link
Replying To LongfordSham: "There would presumably be a few on the Killoe panell going for their 7th Senior medal this year, does anyone know what player/players would have more/the most?" Daniel Mimnagh, the McGoldricks, Mark Hughes, Michael Quinn all around since 2012. Seamus Flynn and Jimmy Flynn won 8 medals liosbreac6265 (Longford) - Posts: 255 - 27/09/2024 09:30:07 2572058 Link

Seamus Flynn won 8 with Clonguish may be other players from Clonguish with similar and possibly players from Drumlish or Granard in 20's and 30's NorthLongfordforlife (Longford) - Posts: 9 - 27/09/2024 09:33:48 2572059 Link
Replying To NorthLongfordforlife: "Seamus Flynn won 8 with Clonguish may be other players from Clonguish with similar and possibly players from Drumlish or Granard in 20's and 30's" Think Sean Kilemade won 9 with Slashers. Gillo (UK) - Posts: 9 - 27/09/2024 15:45:59 2572117 Link
Most is probably Seamus Flynn and Jimmy Flynn who won 8 with Clonguish in 1960's and 1970's and Jimmy Hannify Snr who won 8 with Drumlish in the 1930's and 1940's. Joe Regan and Tony Sheridan won 7 for Granard in 1930's and 1940's. Pat Burke won 7 with Clonguish. Peter Burke and Thomas Hopkins won 5 with Clonguish. Sean Kilemade was mentioned above but am pretty sure he 'only' won 3 with Slashers (1975, 1979, 1980). LongfordgaaAbú (Longford) - Posts: 580 - 27/09/2024 16:17:23 2572121 Link
Apologies Sean Kilemade won more than I said above. He was on the team in 1975, 1979, 1980, 1989, 1990 & 1991. He wasn't on the panel in 1994 and I think he was too young for the 1971 panel . So I reckon he won 6 in total. LongfordgaaAbú (Longford) - Posts: 580 - 27/09/2024 16:32:19 2572124 Link
So Carrickedmond lost their appeal. They've been badly advised during this whole debacle. But fairness had to prevail. Dunnor (Longford) - Posts: 46 - 27/09/2024 18:23:30 2572132 Link
I think I read somewhere (possibly Longford GAA stats page) that Séamus and Jimmy Flynn from Clonguish hold the record of 8 medals. Oddball (Roscommon) - Posts: 937 - 27/09/2024 18:31:29 2572135 Link
Said t all week carrickedmond on form but mistrim have big game in them. Sight see CARRICKEDMOND relegated now. Gaaforlife2023 (Longford) - Posts: 539 - 27/09/2024 21:21:38 2572147 Link
What a win for Mostrim tonight. 50 years after their first senior championship. Saved their skins tonight. However Carrick must be absolutely sick, in hindsight they really should have played that match against slashers but I suppose it was an unprecedented situation.

Well there you have it. That's why Carrickedmond should of showed up to play Slashers. They've been badly advised throughout this saga Dunnor (Longford) - Posts: 46 - 27/09/2024 21:25:36 2572149 Link

Well that all came back to bite Carrickedmond in the ass. They should have played the game against Slashers as I always thought they would have a better chance of beating them than Mostrim. Slashers were the big winners in this as I felt Carrick and Mostrim would have beaten them. Oddball (Roscommon) - Posts: 937 - 28/09/2024 10:17:32 2572174 Link
Replying To Rossfan93: "Don't think its a fluke. Rathcline warrant being senior but the standard of Longford football is very poor. Current Intermediate clubs in Longford would be Junior standard in most other counties. Some senior clubs in Longford (Kenagh, Carrickedmond, Mostrim, Granard) would struggle to compete in the Intermediate Championship in Roscommon. I've watched a lot of these club games in Longford and bar Killoe, every other team is very average or below. I'd say Frankie Dolan cannot believe he is in a semi final with Abbeylara. He was over Roscommon Gaels (a better team) and only made a quarter final. Dark days ahead for Longford football - hopefully the Championship structure change can do something." 2 south Longford teams gone from senior to intermediate 2 south Longford teams gone from intermediate to junior.

Thank you Frankie Dolan for saving us from another year of listening to them. Dunnor (Longford) - Posts: 46 - 28/09/2024 18:38:50 2572223 Link
Fair play Abbeylara. Can't have any complaints. Killoe didn't show up, kicked nearly a dozen wides and didn't deserve it on the day. Abbey better on the ball, kept possession when it mattered. Better team won on the day. As I said before, there is never more than a kick of a ball between teams in Longford when it comes down to the wire.

Great result for Abbeylara. Final will be very interesting now no matter what. Fancy colmcille to win it out Bluelake (Westmeath) - Posts: 185 - 28/09/2024 19:18:53 2572233 Link
