If I cannot get to games please I will tune into Shannonside Northern Sound radio station on 104.1 frequency I think it is thank you. They usually give our games two or three minutes thank you each half please before they go back to the Roscommon ladies challenge games thanks everyone.

Replying To LongBall94: "This is brilliant news that we should have close to our strongest panel available.
It'll be tough on many of the lads who picked up the baton last year under extremely diffucult circumstances. However, thats high level sport.
I would like the county board to restart having a junior/development panel like we used to a few years back. It could be a good spring board for some of these players that won't make the cut this year along with some of our younger players coming through.
Theres a few issues on the starting team that will need to be sorted out.
At Goalkeeper - Killian Gaffey is the standout Goalkeeper but i'd be worried that Poacher will stick with his buddy from Louth.
By the end of the u20 campaign many of us will be calling for Scott Kerr to be no.1 - hes superb.
With Casey having suffered a serious injury its unlikely we will see him in 2026, that means himself and Jack Foley will be gone from our starting back 6 last year.
Cillian McGloin will move back a line to wing back and I'd fancy Colm McLoughlin from Fenagh to be the other wing back.
We badly need Jack Gilheany at 6. I think Adam Reynolds is now ready to finally fulfill his potential at corner back (along with Eanna McNamara) if he can stay injury free.
Full back is a real issue and i'm not sure who the solution is.
I think Radek Oberwan is now at the level to be McNultys partner at Midfield if he can put down a big winter. A shame Pearce Dolan will not be available. Dolan and McNulty could dominated under the new rules.
In our attack:
We really need Keaney and Guckian to push on - they have serious potential, power and height and can score from distance - all crucial with the new rules.
Tom Prior, Honeyman and Ryan O'Rourke are 3 other guarneteed startes in our forward unit. Thats 5/6 spots taken. For me - the final choice is between Cox, Jordan Reynolds, Darragh Rooney (if available) or he could go for power/engine in Keegan, Flynn, Beezer, McLoughlin etc. Caleb Duffy could be a bolter.
We now have depth and options that we haven't had - its rarely said but the clubs/county board are definitely developing a higher quality of player then before and that without many players who have emmigrated.
Some will disagree but i'd also be trying to add D.Wrynn and S.Moran to the panel which is still very young and lacks some brawn and experience. They'd be brilliant to introduce in the last 25mins.
A last thing, Niall Walsh who was on the panel a few years back but suffered from injuries was one of the best forwards in the Galway championship this year at no.11, Scoring 1.17 and assisting 4.03 going into the final which he won. Will be interesting to see how he fairs out against Leitrim Gaels but he should definitely be looked at again with form like that." An update to the Leitrim panel for 2026. There may be future additions but at the moment this is where we stand.
From what I'm hearing the guts of the boys who have been asked in have committed and have been training in the last few weeks .
This automatically means we have a far stronger squad then last year.
Saying all that theres still no Jack Gilheany, Jack Foley, David Bruen, Pearce Dolan, Mark Plunkett, Darragh Rooney, Keith Beirne etc. And Donal Casey has a long term injury. No word on Niall Walsh as of yet.
That leaves us without Casey and Foley who were our 2 best defenders in a struggling defence last year.
Gilheaney would start at 6 but isn't commiting, unfortunately. Theres some loose talk that Bruen may be home early in the new year. That would be huge.
We're really going to struggle defensively from what I can see. I don't see a number 3 or 6 ready made for Inter county football.
You would hope that Poachers system and style of football can cover us defensively and then our talented forward line can see us through games.

Replying To martinjoe: "Now in fairness ye could not have got much better, at home to the lowest ranked team from last year in the opener, a team with zero points in div 4 and -46 score difference last year, surely you must be chalking down 2 points from that one. Anyway great to be getting closer to intercounty action and the slow return to longer evenings." Please Marfin you are mistaken thanks so much. We are not home to the lowest rank team from last year in the opener thanks so much. We are away to Wicklow please. This is all so lovely. Thank you millions

New Rules - Applied To Underage - 1 Like(s)
Replying To Pikeman96: "Saw that myself. Wexford won't actually be able to bring in those rules themselves and all they can do is pass them up the line to Congress for when playing rules are being amended again, but I do think it's only a matter of time before hurling gets those same sort of rules as football anyway. They've largely stamped out dissent in football and the same is needed in hurling. And yes, good to see it coming from the referees themselves." I wonder are there any similar proposals coming through convention in other counties. obviously dual counties would be most likely affected.
haven't heard anything here in Offaly anyways

Replying To supersub15: "I have no problem with how Tadgh is spelt my thinking is will my post get clearance from admin to make the forum." I have no problem with spelt bread either. Your variation of Tadhg got the all clear from admin a few times now, so they have no issue with that thankfully.
It must be something else in your posts, whatever that could be.

On a lighter note, I chose the name Tom, by rearranging the last two letters in the name you come up with TMO, at least he now has a title.
The same name, different spellings. Éogan Eoganán, Eòghann or Eòghan.
