NFL Division 2 2015

[Ohtoohtobe]

What has happened to Kildare injuries or poor management?

Ever addicted to the quick fix and reaping what we've sown.

Mind you, probable starters missing against Westmeath included P Kelly, Bolton, Moolick, N Kelly and Smith.
We also lost two promising players to AFL before the season began.

However I would imagine most counties are down a few at this time of the year. We don't seem to have the depth the top 8-12 counties do, particularly in midfield.

Stick a ton on so Seafreud, let us know how you get on!!

[Shrewdness]

So, the Rossies and their magnificent mode of transport, take to the road again next weekend when they face Laois in Portlaoise. It will have been a 4 week break from competitive actiom for both counties. The two teams had contrasting fortunes before the break. Ros had picked up 3 points from Cavan and Down to go with their FBD League victory.. Laois lost their first two games, and may well have benefited from the 4 week break. Let's hope the 4 week break hasn't halted the Rossies momentum.. This could be a tight game, but hopefully our forwards have their scoring boots on.. Good competition for forward spots now with at least 9 quality forwards vying for 6 places.

Apparently Enda and Conoreen weren't due to start last Sunday, likely the Sigerson marathon had taken its toll on them. The week off should mean they're ready to go unless they've injuries. Keenan was due ot start too which is great news, he'll be a big addition to the HB line.

Roscommon, despite all the mutterings from the manager about consolidation in the division won't be far away from promotion in my opinion.

[Itchy]

If Roscommon get promoted it could be one of the best uses of a bus ever with potential trips to Kerry, Cork and Derry. Rumour has it the county board are budgeting for new tyres such would be the demand on this wonderful bus.

Let's get safe from relegation first.

Cavan v Kildare is a big one

Ros are favs to beat Laois away
Down slight favs over Galway
Meath 1/2 looks a bit dodgy. Westmeath only lost to Galway by a point. 

[twohands!!!]

On Westmeath though, sounded like they were fortunate enough to get the win over Kildare with reports saying Connaughton made 4 decent save

Also the fact Westmeath have 4 points on the table from 3 games has to be considered in light of the fact that these 4 points came from beating 2 teams who have a combined record of P3 L3 in their games not against Westmeath whereas Galway have 4 points from 2 games against opposition who are P3 W3.

Westmeath by far the better team, should have been further ahead than 3 points at ht, nothing fortunate about it. While Connaughton did make some good saves in the second half these were all coming out to narrow the gap, i.e. solid goalkeeping, nothing extraordinary. He did pull down a certain point though.

And if you're going to use Galway as a barometer there was absolutely nothing between the sides, Westmeath very unfortunate not to get at least an equaliser.

p.s. Your Played and Losses are all over the place.

Westmeath could be dark horses for promotion

I thought Westmeath were good against Galway and unlucky not to get the draw, having seen the Meath-Kildare match on the box it was no surprise to me that they beat Kildare.
