GAA Discussion / Re: Should An Glenn object?

I remember a crucial match back in 2018 where we had just gone two points ahead due to a penalty and were into stoppage time. Two players, one from each side, got into an altercation and were both shown second yellows but our player was not shown a red by the referee.

We made bloody sure he came off immediately, red card or no. We weren't going to give our opponents cause for an appeal.

If only I could remember who those opponents were...

Conditions were indeed awful. A sucker punch at the end but dems the breaks.

Good football found it hard to thrive in the weather but, that said, it was an entertaining game for the neutral. Colmcille only had very brief spells of domination and, had Mullinalaghta exploited their long spells of dominance, then they would have won well.

Yeah, we really didn't take our opportunities - certainly not to the same extent Colmcille did. Only one forward out of six scored which is not a great outcome even though a couple of those scores were awesome.

Well done Colmcille - I fancied ye from a while back. First title since 2008.

Laurel - will Mullinalaghta be at the well again next year?

I would hope so. We were missing one starting player and another potential starter with injury and another who went travelling after the Mostrim game.

Congratulations to Colmcille who were more efficient at converting their chances in awful conditions.

Dromard 2-3 Mullinalaghta 2-22
Longford Slashers 1-12 Mostrim 1-9

Dromard deliberately put out a second string team so the result tells us very little apart from the fact that they didn't want to put out their first team.

Group 1:

1. Mullinalaghta 9pts +35
2. Dromard 8pts +30*
3. Longford Slashers 6pts -8
4. Mostrim 5pts -6
Granard 2pts -23
Killashee 0pts -28
