Clonguish v Dromard a draw and gone to replay. Why not finish on the day?

Senior semi-final:

Clonguish 1-10 Dromard 2-7

No extra-time for semi-finals. (There is for replays.)

Replay:

Clonguish v Dromard, Saturday, 5pm

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

Clonguish 6/4 5/6 8/11 4/6 11/8 10/11
Killoe 15/8 9/4 3/1 5/1 7/2 2/1
Dromard 20/1 10/1 11/2 9/4 3/1

Dromard may have missed the boat last Sunday, but we'll see for definite.

Connollys will be favourites on Sunday, but it seems that they don't handle favouritism too well.

Here's hoping.

Semi-final replay:

Clonguish 2-12 Dromard 0-10

I suppose that confirms that the boat was missed.

I am afraid we did as much as I expected against the Connollys. We are going to have an awful time of it over the next few years. I fear we are heading for junior.

Intermediate final:

Mostrim 1-16 Seán Connolly's 1-11

[LaurelEye]

Mostrim return to senior after the briefest of intervals (well, briefest other than Carrickedmond's frequent non-relegations) while Connollys continue to wait for their first silverware this side of the fall of the Berlin Wall.

Jimmy Jests' commentary worth the €16.99 in itself.

[Shamrock Shore]

Never was I so glad to be so wrong. Great win. Shuda won by more but we'll take it.

Glad to be playing senior championship again in 2027 after breaking ranks for the first time since 1967.
