Schadenfreude is a village near Lough Ree

Wrong lake

Colmcille threw a championship away with their post-quarter-final celebrations against what was always a very ordinary Killoe team.

I don't know if the celebration can be blamed, but there was certainly a lack of application/focus after beating Mullinalaghta.

The cavalcade from the Red Cow to the Cross after a quarter-final(!) seemed to indicate too much was being taken for granted.

I guess, but any decent management should be able to 'dislocate' expectations from reality and prepare accordingly.

Rosenallis 2-9 Fr Manning Gaels 1-6

Ballymore Eustace 2-20 Kenagh 0-5

Clonguish hurlers stand as Longford's final representatives in Leinster this year.

Cian Mackey transferring to Mullinalaghta. He's living there now. He should be a good addition.

I see that feline has officially escaped its confines now 

Although the bush telegraph had it for the last few weeks long before the issue was confirmed.

Bit of a thriller there, Laureleye.

Bit of a thriller there, Laureleye. 

Kathy Bates in Misery.

(To be fair, if you'd asked me beforehand, I'd have been happy with that result but losing an eight-point lead is not satisfactory.)

Hmmm,

Just got an updated fixture list in which all Killoe's matches in both the Senior and Junior championships are marked as "Postponed".

Skulduggery and intrigue going on? Never change, Longford GAA.
