Slashers could come out all guns blazing against us after their humiliation by Mullinalaghta.
Mostrim had a useful workout against Breaffy from Mayo last Sunday.

Hard to call.

Doesn't matter anyway as the Connolly Cup is heading to Aughnacliffe.

Killoe 1-13 Clonguish 2-6
Colmcille 0-11 Abbeylara 0-9
Carrickedmond 0-8 Rathcline 1-11

Group 2:

1. Colmcille 10pts +20
2. Rathcline 6pts  -1
3. Killoe 5pts +11
4. Abbeylara 5pts +9
Clonguish 2pts -17
Carrickedmond 2pts -22

[LaurelEye]

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
