Summerhill 2-22 Killoe 1-16

2018 hasn't been bettered since.

No-one (ourselves included in 2021) has even managed to get past the first round.

I was lisening to LMFM and then Shiteside yesterday.
Knew writing was on the wall at half time.

Killashee now standard bearers in the Junior.

Not sure where Slashers' senior hurlers will play. U14 championship?

Leinster "Special" Junior Championship.

Longford Slashers 1-15 Aughrim 1-13.

Amsterdam in the final.

[Shamrock Shore]

Good on the Slashers.

Where is the final?

Neutral ground? Newcastle? Whitby?

Killashee now standard bearers in the Junior.

And they march into the semis. Kildare, Longford, Carlow and Europe the final four.

Slashers fall to the clog-wearers.

Killashee 2-9 Fighting Cocks 3-11

And so the Longford club season comes to an end.

Time to dust this off for another year, I suppose.

Odds:

Ardagh/Moydow 33/1

It's generally agreed that there are three front-runners - Clonguish have just claimed their third Leader Cup title in a row beating Killoe in the final, while Colmcille claimed the Division 1 title (albeit with the advantage of not missing any county players for the league) - and Clonguish currently have their nose in front, although Killoe have made a habit of peaking late in the championship when it matters. I don't think, though, that the gap between those three and the rest is quite as large as the odds make it out to be (although that may be wishful thinking on my part).

Surprised that Granard hammured Colmcille and Slashers hammuring Carrickedmond.

Could be a prettyu open championship this year.

Who will be fancied in the Intermediate.
Connollys or the Windies?

Divison 2 was such a mess because of the presence of two Killoe teams that it's hard to reliably gauge form, but I'd expect Connollys, Grattans and Mostrim to be the main contenders.
