Pearse Park , some past managerial casualties from a summers Saturday night in Longford : 
Pete McGrath Down ,
John Brennan , Derry,
John O'Mahoney Mayo,
Brian McIvor Derry.....

I wouldn't fancy Kildares trip 

Perhaps the winner of the replay should put out their U20s against Dublin , to give their squad a rest for the Round 2 qualifier? Can you imagine the media reaction to it!

Would anyone know if there is a place that houses all the results for the NFL and NHL matches since inception? There has to be some sort of archive service out there!

Many Thanks

I'm thinking that the lack of exposure on these three contests is that who ever wins will be beaten next time out.  Dublin , Kildare and Meath waiting the winners.

Whilst disappointed naturally it was a strange at the final whistle. If we had lost to any other team I'd be livid , but maybe what's been shared in the black and green jersey for a couple of decades now marks is as different. Two of the smallest parishes in the county battling it out for Sean Connolly was a pride filled occasion. The better won and controlled the game for 45-50 minutes, Abbey did well to keep it to three. Right now the more western part of the minor club have the better talented players without doubt.

The black and green was first discussed when Nemo Rangers were on the winning run and the late great Peter Sheridan, John Fay and John Reilly gave credence to the fact that it would be unique. First jerseys we worn by the Division 2 Minor League winners of 1992 ( when just 3 teams competed at Div 1 level) .

Anyway, to the likes of the Leonard's, Paddy Early, Christy Reilly, Sean Reilly, The Mulligans, Daniel Lynch, etc etc I salute you and enjoy. Make sure you give the Leinster 1st round a proper go.

The current pricing of the game merely reflects the bookies liabilities where quite a few substantial bets were placed on Abbey at 14, 12 & 10s. They were way over priced at those odds. If this was a market based on form then I'd be giving odds of 1/2 the half parish & 5/2 on the Abbey.

As a former player with the Gaels this is the dream final but a question to be answered before Oct 16th .... Why did the club colours become black & green?

Tasty Northern Gaels final coming up.

Is there a show of betting anywhere? PP not doing it neither is odds checker.

Hard not to feel disappointed with the outcome and our lack of ability to get back on top at some stage of the second half. Even if we had left Robbie Smyth higher up the pitch rather than Kavanagh for that period we had a chance but the middle 3rd belonged to Cork and we couldn't handle their subs at all. We should have been 6 to 9 points in front going in at the break, they should've been down to 14 at half time also.

In this the centenary of 1916 , isn't it fitting that Micheal Collins (Ck) is reacquainted with Kitty Kiernan (LD). The magic of the qualifiers it seems only a handful really grab an opportunity to go on a run people actually remember. Despite some significant wins against supposedly superior opposition we have only once gone to Round 4 , that being the infamous trip to Kilarney or the rise of Donaghy game. And no we didn't give Kerry that close of a game.

So the rebels it is , without confidence without support without management of anything close to senior inter county standard They Are Still Cork & I believe if we pull this one off it will be our greatest success since the back door was introduced.

i can't wait but 5/1 with BV is too big to miss. Lump on.....

Now 3pm throw in.

Cork may be looking at train timetables........

I suppose they have a stadium to pay for and can't afford the overnight in the Longford Arms

Is the throw in 3pm or 5pm ......Gaa.ie has a 3pm start

If Longford and Offaly were to beat Tipp and Clare next weekend it would setup a couple of great fixtures to see who takes 2nd spot. 4/1 double or thereabouts.

Great to be back in a county final after a 9 year break.
