Leitrim 0-14

Cavan lost 1-8 to 1-12 to Longford.

3 points only for us only in the 2nd half. It highlights our problem, no top notch forwards which will probably mean we won't go too far this year again.

In the far superior McNulty cup Kildare beat Wexford away last night.

Played tonight Longford 2-14 Roscommon 1-10.

Poor old Ros get the wooden spoon. Things are so bad sphilis hasn't made an appearance on this thread at all this year. Fair weather supporter I suppose.

We have been awful but seems we've gone through about 40 players in the 3 games.
Add in shoestring budget, a rookie manager appointed at the tail end of the year (when all other candidates withdrew) plus 2 poor minor teams in 14 and 15 we're in severe danger of losing all 4 competitive games.
Ah well.....

Hastings cup could have shield section yet. 3rd v 4th and 4th v 3rd in the groups fare off for a place in the shield final.

I thought Mulryan is back flashing the cash after keeping a low profile through the NAMA bailout?

Kildare were beat by Clare by a point but had a very much 2nd maybe 3rd string team out.

Sligo beat donegal 2-13 to 2-7 today in the north west cup.
Don't know how many players were missing from both sides but an away win v donegal is always a bonus for us.  Maybe some of the college success is starting to show at the u21 level

Another good win for Sligo tonight.

Sligo 2-5 Mayo 0-10

Good result for Sligo.  I'm assuming there was a lot of wind as we only scored 2 points in the second half and mayo only scored 2 in the first half.

Great to beat both donegal and mayo in succession.
Well done to all involved

Yes great result. We hammered Donegal and now we beat the All Ireland champions. Three years ago this team promised great things but under achieved. This could be the year they come of age.

Yes, lets hope so. Obviously no one near championship level but any wins over Donegal and Mayo are always welcome.
