« In Cavan, Castlerahan will be out to avoid a fourth final defeat on the spin «

It must be fashionable.

Abbey's uniqueness preserved.

Mullinalaghta arís. Great to see

Go raibh maith agat.

Will be harder the next day though - Éire Óg have played us before and are unlikely to take us for granted. I think FMG missed out on a Leinster final by a point which is as close as any Longford team has ever got.

St Columba's 40/1
Éire Óg 250/1


Fingers crossed

Great win for the half-parish. Hopefully they can overcome Eire Og to get to a Leinster final.

What an achievement that would be.

It would be but it might not be the end....
Just to say that if the odds are correct they may be playing KC in the final .  KC haven't been playing in the Leinster Championship over the last 2 seasons. They don't have the same experience. They won't have learnt as much as a team.
I am sure Mullinalaghta will give it everything. Whatever happens they are a tribute to Longford.

This is the last Leinster Championship before Longford goes soft

Ah sure, cupcake decorating would make a great team-building exercise.

Good luck to the Mullanyarta boys on Sun.

Yup.  Do us all proud! 

[LaurelEye]

Cheers lads. Will do our best.

[seafoid]

Cheers lads. Will do our best.

Everyone in our house will be rooting for the half parish. Give it bhfaca tú.

I was flying this afternoon and forgot me phone charger so am
only catching up with the results now

What a pleasure it was to read THIS :

Going where no Larries have gone before.
Magnificent.

As the Follower said one time : « they will be remembered by their people »

[The Insider]

Couldn't believe Eire Og togged out in the Abbeylara colours . David v Goliath battle the next day, but these lads won't be afraid of  the Crokes . Pressure all on Kilmacud

[Shamrock Shore]

Yes.

A major faux pas by Eire Og togging out as Abbey. Shur, that was a red rag to a bull.

Well done to Laurel and also to your No 1 non-Longford supporter, Mr. Seafoid.

If you said beforehand Columbas would win by 18 points you'd have been sectioned. Marvelous.
