Leinster JFC final - Longford v Louth

Shamrock Shore · June 15, 2009, 01:48:30 PM

Wow!

The final is the warm-up before the Dubs take on Westmeath.

Glory days are here again. We won the All-Ireland in 1937 so hopefully we can take a big step Sun week in winning Leinster for the first time since 1953.

The auld fella was on the panel in 53 but got dropped when the Leaving Cert students came back on board.

He's still bitter!

Any idea what the qualifying criteria for Junior Football actually is (at inter-county level) - I believe there are 12 of the Louth Senior panel playing on their Junior team. Is it another joke competition, or is it just a Louth thing??

Is it just me or is the tension mounting?

Well lads are any of ye going? Be far more entertaining than the Dublin westmeath game Id say!

The Dublin fans won't be the only ones going in late this Sunday if this is what the pre-match fare is...

Now that you mention it, that makes sense - TSS, Fingal Ravens/Darren Homan back playing Senior for Ballyboden..

Game ended in a draw.

Replay somewhere, sometime.....!

Good game by all accounts. Did any 'Dubs from pubs' witness it?

Louth were winning by 4 or 5 points, but Longford came back well to get the draw. Number 25, not listed on the program, came on and made a big difference. Both teams had chances to win it at the death. Replay on Wednesday.

Caught the second half and Longford came back well and really should have won it I thought - Same no 25 had a great chance for a goal in the lead up to the equalizing point but dithered a bit.

#25 was Stephen Phillips, apparently.

Longford were to have home advantage before game got moved to Croker so good chance it will be in Pearse Park

Never thought this thread would get to 2 pages!

Watched the game on Shiteside. I am sure Duffy and Tierney (sounding more like Saint and Greavsie every day) enjoyed the facilities.

Hopefully Longford can seal the deal the next day out, wherever it is!

Any decision where it is yet?
