Full time.

Well done Longford. Hope you retain the title.

Moriarty making the best claim to a first team place for us. Probably had enough chances to win but Longford continually found more space up front and deservedly won.

Could be all mind games. 

It's a bit disrespectful to the competition though. I wonder if Galway are putting out a strong team too?

We've had a good few playing Seigerson during the week so a lot of football is being played by the young lads. Hopefully no bad injuries are picked up.

We have a challenge match against Galway on Saturday. Apparently CO'R is putting out a full strength team in that and will be playing a second string team against Longford. Allegedly anyway.

Feck it. I'm not heading to Ashbourne on a Fri evening. I'll watch on Clubber.

Meath will win handy 

Don't know, Longford are kings of January football. We won't be taking it lightly. 

Ha!  A title we wrestled off the Kildare Flourbags.

No - some official X accounts have the game on Fri in Ashbourne. Got feckin soaked there last year.

Yeah they said on the LMFM broadcast after the game that it was Saturday in Navan but just saw they officially announced Friday in Ashbourne.

Feck it. I'm not heading to Ashbourne on a Fri evening. I'll watch on Clubber.

Clubber is such a rip off. €12 for an O'Byrne Cup game is way too much.

My GAAGO GB pass renewed in May last year. Presumably will do the same this year?

The big one kicks off next week.

This year it's sponsored by Dioralyte known for its effective relief from diarrhea and hangovers. Apt for this time of year and the standard of football we're likely to see. Maybe patrons will get free sachets to self medicate in the stands.

Edit to remove ALL CAPS in title...

Great to see Summerhill and Ratoath. Good hard game going to extra time. Nothing against Ratoath but glad they didn't win again.

Enjoyable good tough game. Was hoping Kerry win but ultimately they couldn't get the scores and coughed up the ball too often.
