So there we have it. Clonguish v Killoe. Dromard just couldn't handle Clonguish today, they had it won the last day and will regret blowing it. Once Clonguish start to get away from you, the goals start coming and its all over. I'm sticking with my prediction from the start that Clonguish will win it out. Lots of motivation from 2023 and a strong performance tonight with lots of momentum. LongfordgaaAbú (Longford) - Posts: 714 - 03/10/2026 18:37:05 2696032 Link
The ref had not blown the whistle but the Clonguish hype was here from Killoe stats. Two great wins today, both unexpected. I am not sure how anyone outside of the teams involved could make predictions on the minor championship when they would not see the games but here we are! Next year is actually the stronger team and we should make it seven but it will end there. Stunned at the manner of the Dromard victory. Killoe are simply operating at a different level to the rest of the county and three weeks in a row will just be too much against seasoned winners. A great effort from the ladies but Slashers are a special team liosbreac6265 (Longford) - Posts: 310 - 03/10/2026 21:35:05 2696063 Link
Will Connollys ever get over the line in a final? That defeat today will be hard to come back from. JimmyNail (Leitrim) - Posts: 371 - 04/10/2026 19:08:22 2696138 Link
Brilliant win for mostrim. They've made myself and a few others look foolish. Great year to be promoted as intermediate will be much harder to win next season. Bluelake (Westmeath) - Posts: 375 - 04/10/2026 20:31:16 2696149 Link
Fair play mostrim, well deserved, better team today. I think Killoe will be the neutrals choice next weekend. Rockshorecider (Longford) - Posts: 88 - 04/10/2026 21:09:40 2696156 Link

I will believe Carrickedmond going down to Intermediate when I see it. TurnipAyter (Longford) - Posts: 168 - 04/10/2026 23:41:29 2696177 Link

Dromard have progressed well from Div 2 this year and have lots of good young players. They will learn a lot from this game. Killoe should have enough to take Clonguish but what I have seen in the two games against Dromard they are bringing a lot of intensity to their game. Hopefully it will be an excellent final acomeon (Longford) - Posts: 86 - 05/10/2026 00:06:52 2696179 Link
Well done to Mostrim, they performed better on the day and deserved to win. Don't think it would be fair to say Connollys threw this away they were well outperformed on the day but still tough for them to lose another one. Clonguish were much improved against Dromard but the short week is going to catch them, they already lost Jack Duggan from the first game even if they dont have any other injuries I expect Killoe to win it comfortably in the way they often win games, a 5/6 point win that feels like 15 Clonbonnyrabbitt (Longford) - Posts: 158 - 05/10/2026 11:44:43 2696236 Link

Just a thought but have Clonguish stumbled on an ideal preparation for the County final by having the replay quickly followed by the final. This leaves less time to get distracted, can provide focus on the week ahead and keep whatever nerves they have at bay. Overall they are a very young team and young lads much prefer playing weekly rather than every two to three. I get that they have injuries but that is part and parcel of competitive football, think they'll be chomping at the bit to get back to pearse park this week keepitlit (Longford) - Posts: 46 - 05/10/2026 13:46:58 2696271 Link

Second half at weekend they got back to doing what they are good at. When they sit back and dont keep running at teams, they invite the pressure and struggle. They should of had Dromard killed off after 45 mins first day out. I beleive they will have learned massive lessons and the extra game may indeed give them a better chance. A very young team so their recovery will be a lot quicker than if it was Killoe in the same position. datsit (Longford) - Posts: 50 - 05/10/2026 16:33:35 2696314 Link
