Are we ignoring that the Longford women are doing great things - Slashers in the Leinster Intermediate Final and Colmcille in the Leinster Junior Final?

And so we begin again with the same arrangement; twelve teams divided into two groups of 6.

Group 1:

Dromard v Killashee, Sat, 6.15pm, Edgeworthstown
Longford Slashers v Granard, Sat, 8pm, Edgeworthstown
Mullinalaghta v Mostrim, Sun, 1.30pm, Granard

Group 2:

Colmcille v Clonguish, Fri, 8pm, Ballinalee
Rathcline v Killoe, Sun, 5.15pm, Newtownforbes
Carrickedmond v Abbeylara, Sun, 7pm, Newtownforbes

Paddy Power odds (https://www.paddypower.com/gaelic-games/longford-club-football?tab=outrights):

Mullinalaghta 11/8
Killoe 3/1
Colmcille 8/1
Abbeylara 8/1
Dromard 9/1
Longford Slashers 9/1
Mostrim 11/1
Granard 16/1
Clonguish 16/1
Rathcline 33/1
Carrickedmond 50/1
Killashee 66/1

Boylesports (https://www.boylesports.com/sports/gaa/outrights)

Mullinalaghta 6/4
Killoe 5/2
Dromard 5/1
Abbeylara 8/1
Colmcille 9/1
Longford Slashers 12/1
Mostrim 12/1
Granard 20/1
Clonguish 25/1
Killashee 50/1
Carrickedmond 50/1
Rathcline 50/1

Personally, after winning a very competitive group in the league and beating Mullinalaghta in the Division 1 final, those look like extremely generous odds on a Colmcille team who have been there or thereabouts for the last couple of years and who have the appearance of strong favourites for a first title since 2008.

Mullinalaghta 1-15 Mostrim 1-15

Killoe 0-17 Rathcline 2-14
Abbeylara 0-10 Carrickedmond 0-13

At this point looking like Colmcille and Dromard ahead of the pack.

Killashee 50/1 100/1

Big movers in the betting are Rathcline after last week's win over Killoe and they may come in further if they can beat Abbey tonight. Dromard and Colmcille both easing in with Mostrim and Slashers following them. Killashee have allegedly conceded their match tonight to Slashers; they were struggling to field a team last week against Dromard and there's no ref listed on the Longford website for the match.

Killashee scr. Longford Slashers w/o
Abbeylara 1-12 Rathcline 2-5

Rathcline 2-3 to 0-3 up after 15 minutes and still the final score flattered their second-half performance.

Mostrim 1-7 Dromard 2-9

Clonguish 2-12 Carrickedmond 1-9

Killoe 2-7 Colmcille 0-14
Granard 2-5 Mullinalaghta 1-12

Pretty much a return to form after last week's surprises, with Killoe nearly stealing a draw with a late goal only to pass the ball directly to a Colmcille player who delivered it downfield for the winning point.

What's the story with Killashee? They won the intermediate last year, didn't they?

Won it for a second year in a row so had no way of avoiding promotion. Tried to get regraded back to intermediate for this year but the rules wouldn't allow it. Small pick, a number of players apparently travelling, and were only able to tog out 17 for their first (and only) match against Dromard. Contacted us last week to tell us they were conceding this weekend's match and as a result are now out of the group stages and into the relegation playoffs which are now a formality.

Week 3

Group 1:

Killashee v Mullinalaghta, Fri, 8pm, Newtownforbes Game conceded by Killashee
Longford Slashers v Dromard, Sat, 7pm, Ballinalee
Granard v Mostrim, Sun, 7pm, Abbeylara

Dromard 4pts +33*
Longford Slashers 4pts +6
Mullinalaghta 3pts +4
Mostrim 1pts -5
Granard 0pts -10
Killashee 0pts - 28

Top of the table clash between Slashers and Dromard; qualification dogfight between Granard and Edgeworthstown.

Group 2:

Clonguish v Abbeylara, Sat, 7pm, Edgeworthstown
Colmcille v Rathcline, Sat, 8pm, Monaduff
Killoe v Carrickedmond, Sun, 5.15pm, Ardagh

Colmcille 4pts +7
Abbeylara 2pts +1
Clonguish 2pts 0
Rathcline 2pts  -1
Carrickedmond 2pts -3
Killoe 0pts - 4

Unaccustomed position for Killoe but they should surely get off the mark against Carrickedmond. Abbey need to beat Clonguish to be confident of a quarter-final spot.

Killoe drifting out at the moment, with Colmcille and Dromard edging inwards.

Killoe 2-11 Carrickedmond 0-6
Granard 1-7 Mostrim 0-12

With Mostrim having a further two points in the bag from their cancelled match against Killashee, this means that Granard become the second team to be eliminated from this year's championship, and that Dromard, Mullinalaghta, Slashers and Mostrim join Colmcille in the quarter-finals.
