Any real surprises in the league this weekend for anyone?
I suppose Carricks second string beating Mostrim would raise a few eyebrows.
Mullinalaghtas big victory over Dromard could be seen as one.
Not so much Mullinlaghta winning, but the huge margin by the end.

The Clonguish result over Abbeylara was a bit of a surprise considering Clonguish are missing around 12 of their panel due to county obligations. I wonder will Abbey suffer a similar fate as Colmcille did the year after winning the championship they end up in Division 2!

The county under 20s could play at the weekend so Clonguish were only missing Carey. Abbey were missing more than that.

All Clonguish u20s were on the field at some stage in the game. Abbey were missing Brian Masterson, Caolan Lynch, Cian Brady. No Colm P back yet either. Abbey will be a tough nut to crack when all those lads are back. Clonguish have Carey, Duggan and Sweeney to come back in too.
A lot of these league games in the next few weeks will be hard to read with many teams short key men.

What's going on with Mostrim at the minute?? At the foot of Div2??

Yes Abbeylara were down plenty of extremely valuable county players. Clonguish without Carey and Duggan but a fairly strong team apart from that

From what my mate (a Clonguish man) told me, Clonguish were down Conor Smith, Cian Sutton, Ronan Sweeney, Matthew Carey, Jack Duggan and Johnny Burke. Andrew Flynn, Jamie Dorr, Cormac Flynn only played the second half along with James Hagan who came on late. Michael Flynn replaced Josh Marsh early in the game after he had to go off injured after scoring a goal. Conor Flynn, Alan Mimnagh and Kevin Baskett from the Longford under 20s did not play. It's only the first round of the league so I don't think anybody is getting too excited!!

The Doc kept Mostrim up last year single handed basically. They've got nothing coming up either. They'll be headed the same way as Ardagh and Cashel over the next few years I'd suspect

Get onto your mate and ask him what their line up was. A lot of different versions so I have been told.

Anyone at the Killoe/Slashers game at the weekend?
How did both teams look there?

3 of Clonguishs under 20s didn't play, 4 if you include Carey.
