Down 0-10 Clare 2-9 at half time.

Result Down : 2-19 Clare  2-14
Is the ref going to finally blow his whistle?... No, he's going to blow his nose

Gutted for Sligo.  Lead by a point in the last minute of additional time, turnover point for Westmeath, kick out, point for Westmeath and game over.

Lots of positives to take from this game, we controlled most of the game just some bad wides and turnovers but overall I think the management will be proud of the effort and disappointed with the result.  Fair play to Pat Spillane who kicked 2 massive 2 pointers when he came on.
I used to be indecisive but now I'm not too sure.

That was poor today .
Wexford well worth the win .
We defended well but just far to must recycling when in possession.

Our performance was summed up when we got a 2 point free , 3 men went to take the free and then a man just on the pitch ended up hitting it, he slipped when kicking and it went short.


Massive game next week against Sligo.
A must win for both teams
Wanted.  Forwards to take frees.
Not fussy.  Any sort of ability will be considered

Wexford flying it.

Seem to be building a nice team there this last couple of years on the quiet.

And Laois? Just 0-9 scored in Div 3 game under offensive heavy rules. Maybe Bogman or Jcpen might explain that lack of scoring?

If the goalie Killian Roche is not scoring they are in trouble.

Fine win for Sligo
Fermanagh were completely on top for the first 25 minutes but were so wasteful.
Several butchered opportunities and then Sligo got 10 minutes at the end of the half , Murphy scored 1-2 and they went in ahead.

Again in the second half , we came back to within two points , and then Sligo just pulled away.

Have to say , their was no sign of an attacking game plan or any sort of defensive shape. I thought Bonner was a good appointment and Fermanagh had done well. But, from the evidence so far , there is a lot of work to be done.
We have to move the ball quick. Too many sideways hand passes. We have a decent full forward line but we just won't kick the ball into them.

We now have a relegation game against Clare in two weeks in Brewster .
Loser of that game will be relegated.

Officially the least commented upon league division on here.

I read the Down men are enjoying some sun on their bones at the moment in Portugal. Hopefully they will be able to put it up to Westmeath on Saturday in a match that will start to shape the top of the tree.

Down made hard work of getting past Clare and Limerick. They will need to seriously improve to get past Westmeath.

Funny that each county or 2 neighbouring counties have their own station and cover their on inter-county games.

Eg Radio Kerry, LMFM (Louth/Meath), Shannonside (Cavan/Monaghan/Leitrim), Highland Radio (Donegal) and KCLR (Kilkenny/Carlow) etc. but is there any in the 6 counties?

Rossfan

Shannonside is Ros,Longford and Laythrum.
Northern Sound is Cavan and Monaghan.
They link up for some programmes.
Play the game and play it fairly
Play the game like Dermot Earley.
