Ros Comáin V Longfort

[Azzurri]

Game still fixed for Hyde Park on Sunday even though more rain could force the switch to Kiltoom.

Any team news from either side yet?

I know Longford are without Brian Kavanagh.

Should be tight enough

Longfort might have ambitions for promotion since they find themselves in 2nd place after 2 games.  But in reality they will not gain many more points in this campaign, and are more likely to be playing  Tipp to avoid relegation in their last game.
Ros Comáin on the other hand are likely to be playing An Dún at home in their last game to have a say on who gets promoted.

Ros by 5 points.

Unfortuntely think roscommon with home advantage might be too strong for us. Not sure if Paul Barden , Declan Reilly odr Mulligan will be back but still a good test for the younger players, who have done well so far by all accounts. Another win will be needed to stay up, although thats a pesimistic view, think its what most followers expected at start of league.

I dread this game.

Cos I'll hafta listen in on Roscommonside.......to Wille Hegarty...........

I think we have some more regulars back but I don't recall Longford ever winning in Hyde. I have no idea where Kilgloom is so, on the basis of history I hope the game is there.

Longford to win in a grim battle.

At least it means that Roscommonside will cover an entire Longford match.

Looks like Fergal wasnt entirely satisfied with the defence in Kilmallock. Mind you the Full forward line can count themselves fortunate enough to be still there.
This is a real banana skin job as everyone expects us to beat Longford so caution is the byword here.
Hopefully Enda Barrett will do well after his unfortunate experience in Boyle -injured after 4 minutes- while I expect to see ShaQ and Dunning come on at some stage.

Pretty scrappy game in terrible conditions. Thought the referee was poor aswell.
Longford were on top for most of the second half but Ros' hung on.

With the other results going their way, Ros' are now top of the table.

ref poor as well , that is putting it very mild.

Only thing was he was equally harsh on both teams....4 yellows I think, 2 each and some strange decisions. Soft goal was a huge score to get. Longford slightly the better team i thought but no points to show for it is a shame
