Longford Football (& Hurling) Thread

[Billys Boots]

Good luck to the Longford ladies; hoping the Ulster team make their usual ham-fisted attempt to cope with Ballymahon.

one or two injury concerns coming into the game at the weekend , but everyone should make it , Slashers are rightly favourites and I would expect them to advance to the finals , however its a semi final and anything could happen ! ...so all we can do is our best and see what happens !
Its been 18 years since we've appeared in Pearse Pk in late September , (16yr long years I have played for) , so we are long overdue an appearance ! , might be a step too far for our current team at the moment

Best of luck on Sunday in any case.

Slashers 0-13
Mostrim 0-05

The scoreline does not do justice to the awful performance by Mostrim. Last I heard on Shiteside it was 0-12 to 0-02 to Slashers with 10 or so mins to go.

i was expecting much more from mostrim, they were woeful. we cruised through the game without being tested at all, which i fear will not help us against dromard - with or without francis mcgee. the performance will have to be upped 1000% to deal with the likes of martin, conefery and masterson

The whole county will be cheering for the Townies, and hopefully that might do the trick.

well i suppose north longford will be behind us anyway  it's going to need a mammoth effort from the lads to do it. basically they will have to play like they never have before. i actually think dromard could be more dangerous without mcgee, it could end up being a serious motivator for them

[Billys Boots]

Beating Dromard will be (as it always has) about playing together as a unit, moreso than they do (which is their main strength).  Slashers need to learn how to keep the ball - if they can improve at that aspect of the game, then they've a decent chance.  If they try to football Dromard off the field, they might as well stay at home.

Eh - no they won't......I will be the ultimate passive neutral.

The Mostrim pain from defeats in county finals to Slashers outweigh any Colmcille ranquor over Dromard.

I could never cheer for Slashers. No siree Bob. Even if Slashers played Westmeath I'd still be on the fence!

I'll take your best

What colour is the sky in your world?

[The Forfeit Point]

It's a Northern Gaels v. Drumlish minor final. i had a feeling our young lads left it behind them last week, and as happens with strong teams, they rarely give a 2nd chance.
