What was the actual background of that fiasco that held up the championship.

I forget how it played out.

Mullinalaghta won the actual game by 1 point. But Carrickedmond said the score was wrong or misleading. Their argument being, that in the dying moments they would have went for a goal instead of a point.

What happened then..... did Carrick get into a quarter final?

Some jump in the odds for Granard. After a couple of rounds of the group, the odds are less likely to jump around so much.

If Granard get a win tonight, they'll come in even further!!

Clonguish 1-10 Colmcille 2-11

Odds will need to be recalculated.

The procession is over.

Hahaha, yes indeed. Anything is possible.

Well it's looking like Mostrim will be in the relegation battle along with Granard in group A.
Drumlish and perhaps Slashers will join them from group B.

Is it two going down this year to Intermediate?

Ah right, I see now. Not something every club would be on for.

Good win tonight, Laurel. Ye are back on the winning path.
Killoe looked to have made light work of Dromard.

I see there is no game in Pearse Park this week.
Do each club get to play a group game in the Park or how does that work?

Leader Cup final:

Clonguish 2-16 Colmcille 3-10

Clonguish complete the league double (Division 1 and Leader Cup). The third leg of the triple awaits.

Yes Laurel, 2 titles in the bag. The third leg is significantly harder and all other opponents will be at full strength or very close to it as lads return.

I know the league is always second on the list in terms of priority but I feel there was more of an edge to the Leader Cup final when it was played in Oct/Nov/Dec. However, players are happy not to have the season drag into the depths of winter.

Should be a good championship and just like the county scene, a lot of teams will be quietly fancying their chances.

Hard luck Laurel. Ye had a lot to contend with this year and still were only a kick of a ball away from a final.
I didn't get to see the game. Were you impressed with Colmcille?

That's a fair point Laurel. I didn't know about other shady stuff in the background going on and I wouldn't ask you to divulge on here either.

The whole episode has finally burnt itself out thankfully. On another note, I see Slashers and Dromard are finally down to play their relegation game next week. The losers to play Mostrim.

And I detect that there is a real sense of opportunity now for the 3 remaining North Longford clubs with the elimination of Killoe tonight.

Good luck tomorrow to Mullinalaghta and Colmcille.... May the best team win!!

Well done Mostrim. Great win after waiting around a good few weeks to play.

Things have spiralled downwards very quickly for Carrickedmond. Their performances in the group stages warranted another year at Senior level, but with two going down this year, it made it treacherous for many clubs. At least 3 or 4 other teams were only a game away from ending up in the relegation playoffs.

Well done Wolfe Tones. Great win as underdogs. Slashers are, on paper, the best of the three teams but have just won one of the last six finals.

It seems like the momentum is finally going out of the Carrick appeal.

Although there appears to be a sub plot developing with Granard making an appeal. I hope all can move forward and get the championship finished. Everyone has had enough!

I think there's a case by this stage to simply divide the county along either the N4 or the Clondra-Longford-Ballinalee-Granard axis and annex the respective halves to Cavan and Westmeath respectively. Both counties are big enough for the venom and spleen dominating Longford football at the moment to be diluted to harmlessness.

Ah Laurel, hang in there. It will all settle down eventually. As all things do.

And we'll all try to keep our county to ourselves. Thank God you didn't mention the prospect of landing part of Longford into Roscommon 😄😄😄

I heard nothing yet. I presume Carrickedmond's appeal will not affect the rest of the championship and that the relegation semi's will go ahead as planned.

Mostrim v Carrickedmond
Slashers v Kenagh.


That's just my own opinion but anything can happen!!
