Replying To LongfordgaaAbú:  "Leader cup semis this Saturday.

Granard at home to Killoe
Abbeylara at home to Clonguish

Probably a tight game in Higginstown with Granard winning narrowly. Clonguish will win the other semi comfortably I reckon. Rathcline should beat Mostrim in the relegation game. Still no white smoke on the other relegation result."
Abbeylara have already beaten Clonguish away from home this year. It will be far from comfortable for Clonguish. They aren't even favourites for me in this game. Killoe to win against Granard and to beat Abbeylara in the final.

Longfordgaaabu's dedication to downplay Killoe and hype Clonguish is impressive. I can't see how anyone could predict Granard to take Killoe. Killoe played the whole league with a half team and sometimes less. They will win that match by at least 8 points. I think a tight match with Abbey is in store but should hopefully sneak it

Killoe will win by at least 10 points and Clonguish will also stroll in their game....Clonguish by 8. Both teams back at full strength bar Mickey Quinn. All this news of long term absentees are a smokescreen. Two McCormacks back will add to the strongest squad in the county. David Barden is back for another year for Clonguish.

Ah come on now Spinx nobody believes the McCmormacks are back playing for Killoe!!!! Two tight games this weekend but the return of Killoes county men will help big time

We are missing a few lads for this weekend so we will get nothing easy away to Abbeylara.

I see the Clonguish minors have picked up where they left off last season!
Hard to imagine a town like Edgeworthstown can't put out a decent underage team, never mind having to amalgamate.

I heard Aidan Keogh is back too. Might see Niall Sheridan in at full forward too before the year is out for Abbeylara. Any more lads coming back?

Go back 2 pages and slasher9 has Padraig McCormack back for Killoe. I would trust Slasher9 as he has been spot on with most things he posts here.

3rd and 4th place teams in the league make it through to the final of the Leader Cup. I'm assuming Killoe, like ourselves, were still far from full strength for this evenings games. Just proves what a sham the league was this year.

No games in Cavan tonight so said I'd go to Granard v Killoe. Very good game in fairness, two teams battled hard to win it. Killloe looked to be more physically powerful and experienced but Granard had very good goal chances which they didn't take and also missed some easy frees. They should have won it. Impressed with Longford club football as I have not seen any club football in a few years in the county.
