Think its numbers related, finding it very hard to get guys to commit to the panel, not too sure where it leaves them to be honest, they will find it hard to get a decent replacement

Far from comfortable for Clonguish but they got the job done. Didn't perform at all or are they a touch overhyped, Carrick/Legan had a good start but a worry for Carrick that the best player was actually from Legan. Southern Gaels the stars of the day they just never gave up. Paddy Mollahan has the makings of an intercounty footballer as does Josh Kelly from Kenagh.

A bit of an off day as well as missing our whole full back line through injury and our midfielder going off injured after 2 minutes didn't help. They were a big physical team and that Clonguish team have 12 of the 15 underage for next year and the year after. But even at 1-3 to 1 point down I wasn't overly worried as Ballymahon/Kenagh had a very strong breeze behind them, that seemed to ease in the second half!! Apart from the opening 10 minutes, we were the better team. They didn't score in the second half until the 31st minute. Josh Kelly looked very good in the first half but went completely out of it in the second half. Overall, it was not a nice day for good football to be played! But happy to get the win.

Certainly didn't have it all their own way, but going in just 1 down against a strong wind on a miserable day is no mean feat either. Never really looked in doubt in the second half. Decent Ballymahon/Kenagh side and deserve credit for pushing Clonguish all the way. Fair play to Southern Gaels too, dug deep and pulled it out as the underdog. Good to have everything wrapped up by now. Time was you still had a Leader Cup final to negotiate on a miserable night in the shivering dark.

Carrick sarsfields let slip but fair play southern gaels in fairness didn't give up Yes had best player from Legan but what's wrong with that. Don't have big numbers but odd good player in legan. . Anyway two tight games. Gaaforlife2023 (Longford) - Posts: 539 - 10/12/2024 12:20:46 2582996 Link 0 |

Yeah, I'm not sure what they mean that it's a worry for carrick that the best player was from Legan. Sometimes the so called smaller club in an amalgamation can produce the best player. The bigger worry for me is, why a town and parish the size of Ballymahon/Forgney have to amalgamate with Kenagh. Frank74 (Longford) - Posts: 200 - 10/12/2024 19:17:05 2583037 Link 1 |

Not a good sign, Clonguish the only individual club competing on the day, togging 29 players and those injured ones too, seems like they have large numbers along with the talent on the way

Cuala manager Austin OMalley new head coach of Senior Footballers. Not ideal at all with him not being able to make trainings due to club involvement Mewtwnforbes (Longford) - Posts: 3 - 12/12/2024 14:32:35 2583317 Link 0 |

Longford, presumably. Any word on what sort of a squad Solan has? Has there been many lads who are not back this year? Any additions to last year's squad? Oddball (Roscommon) - Posts: 937 - 12/12/2024 17:18:07 2583347 Link 0 |

Derek Fahy as Chairman and Micheal Mulleady as Vice Chair to lead us out of the mire. Any work on CCC chair? Even the Referee Administrator appointment will be an interesting if changed. As it stands there are a few refs who have indicated they are not continuing next year due to both rules and regime change, and not many new ones coming through. The Chair of the minor board is also due to change. Hopefully all this change can be positive over the medium term along with the new rules. It would be nice to see some improvement in our games. botheyesclosed (Longford) - Posts: 121 - 16/12/2024 09:21:15 2583708 Link 0 |

Westmeath had a very successful drive earlier this year with the recruitment of nearly 60 new referees. Longford GAA needs to do something similar as we have few lads who were retiring 20 years ago still reffing!! Spinx (Longford) - Posts: 1345 - 16/12/2024 10:38:34 2583717 Link 0 |
