I thought the scoreline flattered us ......
At one stage in the second half we were 9 points down .

A few points wiith regard to the game
Paul Barden seemed happy to hoof the ball in long to the FF line , which were overhit mostly and resulted in possession being given away , instead of running at the defenders (which he is good at) ...and drawing defenders and creating space for other players to shoot .

Padriag Berry was doing exactly this taking on defenders every time he got the ball ...and worked his arse off .... Longford's best player yesterday .

How long did they need to look at McElvanney at midfield , the obvious change for me was taking him off and putting Hannify in for him ...Ledwitch was hard done by ..... McElvanney did get us the goal ....lucking IMO ...... but his marking was poor and contesting ball with one hand might work in Div 2 in Longford ....but not at intercounty level.....Finlay had a field day on him

Keenan was outplayed by number 8 ....

Masterson had a great game vs a very good Monaghan forward line .

I see we have home advantage v the neighbours , which is a good advantage .... hopefully we can continue our good run of form at home in championship matches .......

and the game is scheduled for MAY 13TH !!! ....  thats very early IMO.......


Is it true that the losers of this game will be out of the championship proper , and into the Michael Mouse cup ... ?...heard someone saying it this week , very unfair on the losing team if this is the case ...but on the other hand will add an extra dimension to an this local derby ......

Can any of the regular throw some light on this ??
