Replying To Jigsawjoe:  "Diffley is playing well for them , and has served Ballymahon well throughout the years , he will be hard stopped if Ballymahon pick him out for kickouts and has no one to compete against him for the kickout cause he will field them all day , Connollys will surely have a plan in place for that , if they can keep Diffley out of it for fielding ball, ballymahon don't really have anyone else to try hit for high balls , the breaking ball will be vital"
They got the kickouts right connollys thought number 8 was outstanding for them on Kevin diffley

Fair play to Connollys and Mostrim. Both showed up. Will be a good final, and I expect Connollys will finally break their run of bad luck in finals and come good on the day. A big achievement for them to get back to Senior if they make it. I remember them being relegated to Junior a decade or more ago, but they didn't make the drop in the end. Mostrim will be no pushover and have gone under the radar a bit with nobody expecting much from them this year. That won't phase them or their manager.

Mullinalaghta proving to be the terminator of Longford football yet again. Gotta hand it to them.

Incredible to see Fr. Manning Gaels relegated to Junior. Can't recall seeing a club going from senior to intermediate to junior in consecutive years before. They will bounce back, but still.

Predication for the weekend is Abbeylara to beat Killoe by a goal, and Clonguish to beat Dromard by 6.

I watched Ballymahon and Connollys. Connollys had it so easy and they were streets and streets ahead, the 2 Reynolds had the freedom of Pearse Park, particularly Daniel. Very surprised Ballymahon reached a semi final going off their display yesterday.

Kenagh were relegated two years in a row intermediate last year and they were senior in 2024.
Killoe to win by 2 points them and Abbeylara both have injuries but Killoe have a much deeper squad, Abbeylara really under pressure having to call Colm P out of retirement the last day.
Dromard have the two most inform forwards in the county right now in Joe Hagan and Aaron Farrell and the x factor from Matt Duffy and I see them doing it for Dromard, Dromard to win by two after extra time.
Big win for Connollys, Tommy Donohoe is a shrewd man but Niall Sheridan has beat Connollys in a final before.
Connollys need to find a way to get other scorers than dan and dessie reynolds. Mostrim have some very tidy forwards who will also need watching.
Kenagh to win comfortably in the junior semi final and they'll meet Ballymore
