The big one kicks off next week.

This year it's sponsored by Dioralyte known for its effective relief from diarrhea and hangovers. Apt for this time of year and the standard of football we're likely to see. Maybe patrons will get free sachets to self medicate in the stands.

Kildare have a fairly strong team named for the 1st game and I'd say more will start doing the same with the compressed season.
But, on the other hand they might not be keen to go too far in it to get back to training ground stuff...

Feck it. I'm not heading to Ashbourne on a Fri evening. I'll watch on Clubber.

Meath will win handy

Don't know, Longford are kings of January football. We won't be taking it lightly.

Yeah they said on the LMFM broadcast after the game that it was Saturday in Navan but just saw they officially announced Friday in Ashbourne.

We have a challenge match against Galway on Saturday. Apparently CO'R is putting out a full strength team in that and will be playing a second string team against Longford. Allegedly anyway.

Easy pickings so.

Our 23rd meeting in the O'Byrne Cup. Longford's record v De Riyals is

6 wins, 2 draws and 14 defeats.

First time was 1954 when Meath won by 20 points. We put out a second string that day I am told.
