Who's next, and where?  Is Bunnyhole Park nearly ready yet?

Who's next, and where?  Is Bunnyhole Park nearly ready yet?

Nothing until after the Westmeed match.

According to the Longford website (backdoor version at http://82.195.132.198/t3.php?countyid=19&sportid=1&club_id=&defaultpage=1 cos the main Crayonsite is down), yis are playing the Windies Saturday two weeks at a venue yet to be decided.

Is Bunnyhole Park nearly ready yet

We are leaving a couple of bunnyholes as a memorial for the Laurel family to reminisce over!
Supposed to be ready in a couple of months but I hear rumours it may not be used this year at all.
To be honest it looks perfect but apparently there is some more work to be done to ensure water drains away properly.
I believe  Drumlish is next alright but wasn't sure when. Definitely after the Westmeath game.
Laurel do you have any idea when the championship might start or have the county board given that any consideration yet?

NorthLongford- I heard there's a possibility that if Longford are beaten by Westmeath , there could be championship matches as soon as 2nd Last and last weekend of this month ...ie 3 weeks time !!!.......

Hopes fading for Dolan
01 May 2007


Westmeath manager Tomas O Flatharta has admitted that team captain Dessie Dolan is a major doubt for the Leinster SFC first round clash with Longford on May 13.

The 2004 All-Star injured his shoulder in a freak training ground incident two weeks ago and has only just returned to training.

"It's fair to say Dessie is very doubtful. He damaged his AC shoulder joint which is particularly painful," O Flatharta said.

Dolan's Garrycastle colleague David O'Shaughnessy is also doubtful with a knee injury, but fears that goalkeeper Gary Connaughton could miss out have been allayed after he played in Westmeath's victory over National League champions Donegal in a challenge match at Muff on Sunday.

....wouldnt be so sure of when !!!

freak training ground incident

What of it, freaks need a ground for training too.

We're off an running this weekend.
Nice little opener with the Shams and Clonguish and Slashers/Rathcline.  Should be interesting.
BTW can't believe Hughie Reilly is getting senior championship matches after the performance he put in during our league game last weekend. On second thoughts O'Brien was no better the week before...maybe its just me but the men in black are really annoying me something major recently.

Shur ye all want 'Rocky' Tierney to be in charge 

I believe that Colmcille players are eating raw turnips in preparation for the game v The Swampies.

A handy win here for our cousins in red and green, surely!

[North Longford]

Handy win, Colmcille and Championship......4 words not normally associated with each other.
It'll be anything but. I'd say our near neighbours would still be favourites.
Only have the raw turnips for breakfast on the day so of the game.

[Shamrock Shore]

Wins for Ballymahon over Clonguish and Fr. manning Gaels over Cashel this weekend in the Championship.

Previous weeks saw two draws (Rathcline v Slashers and Ardagh v Connollys)

I think.
