Longford Football (& Hurling) Thread

[Denn Forever]

I'm surprised that no one been on here yet.  Ye have a peach of a tie.  Has it happened before?  I'd say there be a full house at Pearse park for this one.

Well, in 2006 we had Dublin in Pearse Park for the Leinster Championship and then we had the trip down to Killarney.

If the house is filled, I'd expect us to be the ones doing it - Kerry will be waiting for the quarter-finals 

There is a thread on the main message board.

Hi there,
I'm trying to put together a list of all the recent Longford footballers and their clubs. Can any one help by adding in the first names and the clubs?
(Please can you keep an eye out for players with the same first initals eg P Canavan could either of the Tyrone footballers so dont just change it to Peter or Pascal - could you just add a note to say that)

hope that helps, a few there i just cant think of

[Billys Boots]

Donncha Corcoran - Round Towers, Clondalkin (I think)
David Mitchell - ex Westmeath player (was it Tyrrellspass?)
   

[North Longford]

Probably
Michael Kenny Cashel
Derek Smith Abbeylara

[LaurelEye]

Mark   Connor   Ballymahon

I think he was still with Forgney at under-21 county level.

Conan   Casey   Cashel

Conor Casey, Rathcline

Padraig   Shanley   Rathcline

Not sure how far back this is meant to go but Shanley transferred from Killashee to Rathcline in 2000(?).

[LaurelEye]

Donncha Corcoran - Round Towers, Clondalkin (I think)
David Mitchell - ex Westmeath player (was it Tyrrellspass?)

St Mary's Rochfortbridge, I think.

[LaurelEye]

Enda   Ledwith   David Hannify

Enda Ledwith - Abbeylara, then Na Fianna, then Abbeylara again.

[LaurelEye]

From another place:

Championship predictions
I hear the McGee and Masterson are carrying knocks and havn't trained this week. Niall Vance was injuried against Louth in the Junior final and was taken off, he may be out for a long time. Peter Masterson and Jamsie Martin were injured against Colmcille and havn't played since then. Ronan McEntire who played a lot of the league at full forward is away for 2 months. Dromard had no league game last week so it is difficult to say who is available or not.

I still think the will struggle, even is McGee and Masterson are fit.

By the sounds of it, we might have to lend them a couple of lads and play it as a challenge. 

[Billys Boots]

C'mon the half parish - sounds like they're setting ye up to underestimate them.

I will remind you that it is not actually in Colmcille's interests for us to do well on Sunday. So the altruism is appreciated

[Billys Boots]

I know that, but we're having a rest-year.   

[The Forfeit Point]

would never believe anything coming out of dromard, they are always depleted yet when it comes to throw in everyone is back!!

[North Longford]

Would bet me bottom dollar they will all play bar Vance.
He put county before club and apparently will pay the price for a while.
He hasn't been able to train since about 2 weeks before the junior final in croker.
