Longford Football (& Hurling) Thread

I've added a new Live Scores feature to GAA Radio. If you're at any Longford club games it'd be good if you could text score updates to 447624804328. This service is free for everyone to view at http://www.gaaradio.com/scores/liveScores.jsp . Thanks.

Jazes, you are well informed - even I didn't know the name of the hotel

I take it that a report has been furnished to the relevant authorities ahead of next Saturday's big game.

You can do nothing in this country without someone finding out.

There was a Mayo swap last weekend.

As the Mullinalaghta lads went West some Mayo shower came East and played a challenge in Crippen Park in Edgeytown and then drank, or was that vice versa....not sure.

This 'bonding' must be great craic altogether.

Don't let Auld Longfordian hear you mispronounce the nickname of Hughie 'The Crippen' Devine.

News to me about any injury. Keenan being back means that it's between our fella, Dowd and Declan Farrell as to who falls out of the bed when Luke says "roll over"...

QuoteWill he be back for the first round of the club championship

We'll be thinking about the first round of Division 2 for the moment but that's a while off yet.
